  • Publication number: 20240219558
    Abstract: An approach for estimating Round Trip Time (RTT) such as used for estimating a location of mobile User Equipment (UE) devices, particularly adapted for Open Radio Access Networks (O-RANs) that disaggregate basestation functions into a Radio Unit (RU) and a Distributed Unit (DU) or Central Unit (CU). A Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) is transmitted by the RU according to schedule determined by the DU or CU. A Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) is returned by the UE to the DU or CU, with an estimate by the UE of its internal delay. The RU reports an estimate of the difference seen between a time of transmission of the PRS and time of reception of the SRS. The RTT is then estimated by subtracting the UE's internal delay from this difference. RTTs taken between the UE and two or more RU's may further determine a location of the UE.

  • Patent number: 11974139
    Abstract: Techniques for modelling a radio network in a geographic region utilizing shared spectra are disclosed. Population data is obtained for the geographic region. A number of radios per channel in the geographic region, N?, is determined. Candidate geographic location for radios in the geographic region are determined. For every channel in the shared spectra, at least one of a static dataset and a dynamic dataset is determined. At least one set of output data, that is a statistical characterization of the radio network, is generated using at least one of the static dataset and the dynamic dataset, to aid in design of the radio network.

  • Patent number: 11751178
    Abstract: A system for ESC protection includes a spectrum access system (SAS) configured to allocate a frequency band in the system and at least one Citizens Broadband Radio Service device (CBSD) communicatively coupled to the SAS and configured to provide wireless service to UEs. The system also includes at least one ESC communicatively coupled to the SAS and configured to detect RADAR signals from offshore RADAR devices. The SAS is configured to assign grants to the at least one CBSD such that the aggregate signal energy received at the ESC does not cross an overload threshold, as calculated by the SAS. The ESC is configured to detect an aggregate signal energy received at the ESC, and trigger, in response to the aggregate signal energy exceeding the overload threshold, an operation that suspends transmission of at least one CBSD or moves at least one CBSD to a different frequency channel.
