Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide new parameters for RAN configurations to manage network slices. A network device stores definitions for multiple mode parameters for a central unit (CU) of a radio access network (RAN), wherein each mode parameter defines a section of the CU that provides a relative performance level for a slice subnet over the RAN. The network device receives a slice configuration request for a network slice that identifies one of the multiple mode parameters and instantiates the network slice to operate over the section of the CU that is associated with the identified one of the multiple mode parameters. Additionally, a slice anti-affinity (SA) parameter is provided to selectively isolate network slices and improve slice reliability within the RAN.

Abstract: A highly integrated monolithic self-compensated oscillator (SCO) with high frequency stability versus temperature variations is described, together with a cost effective single insertion point trimming (SPT) algorithm. The SPT is utilized to adjust the phase and frequency of the SCO to meet frequency stability versus temperature and frequency accuracy requirements for a reference clock. The techniques used in the SPT algorithm provide a robust, fast and low testing cost for the SCO.

Additionally, the described SPT algorithm is capable of measuring the temperature sensitivity of any oscillator, estimating suitable temperature compensation parameters and adjusting the oscillator frequency to the required value simultaneously.

Abstract: A substantially temperature-independent LC-based oscillator is achieved using an LC tank that generates a tank oscillation at a phase substantially equal to a temperature null phase.

The LC-based oscillator further includes frequency stabilizer circuitry coupled to the LC tank to cause the LC tank to oscillate at the phase substantially equal to the temperature null phase.
