Abstract: Methods and systems for Radio Access Network (RAN) aggregation of multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs). A method disclosed herein includes aggregating the RATs at a RAN level to provide at least one User Equipment (UE) with multi-connectivity. The method further includes enabling at least one Centralized unit (gNodeB-CU) within at least one RAN node to uniformly control Distributed Units (DUs) of different RATs (5G New Radio (NR) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) RATs). The method further includes enabling the at least one gNB-CU to control the at least one UE and allow the at least one UE to connect with an additional RAT irrespective of an initial RAT, the UE is connected to. The method further includes controlling WLAN Access Point (AP) as a 5G distributed unit (gNB-DU).

Abstract: A highly available network architecture for a LTE based communication network. Embodiments herein disclose an architecture for a highly available and resilient Long Term Evolution (LTE) based wireless communication network, wherein the network comprises of at least one Base Station (BS) further comprising of a merged LTE eNodeB (eNB) and a LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) entities and except for a single active BS, the other BSs can act as a backup for the currently active BS. Embodiments herein disclose a network architecture for a highly available and resilient architecture for Long Term Evolution (LTE) based wireless communication network, wherein a LTE radio interface is used for connectivity between components of the LTE communication network.

Abstract: A SDN controlled Overlay Network. Embodiments disclosed herein relate to multi-RAT (Radio Access Technology) wireless communication network and more particularly to a SDN (Software Defined Networking) controlled network overlaid on a multi-RAT wireless communication network. Embodiments herein enhance relay functionality in wireless communication networks using overlay networks, wherein the overlay network is controlled and managed by a SDN (Software Defined Networking) controller.
