Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for selecting fronthaul links in a wireless communication system. One or more link delays are determined. The link delays are associated with one or more communication links in the plurality of communication links communicatively coupling a first communication device and a second communication device. Using the determined link delays, a communication link transmission priority of the communication links for transmission of one or more data packets is determined. A listing of prioritized communication links is generated. At least one communication link in the prioritized communication links is selected for transmission of data packets between the first and second communication devices. Using the selected communication link, the data packets are transmitted between the first and second communication devices.

Abstract: A network device may assign, to a port of a plurality of ports on the network device, a precision timing protocol (PTP) port priority for PTP communications between the network device and another network device. The network device and the other network device may be communicatively connected via a plurality of links in a link aggregation group (LAG). Each port, of the plurality of ports, may be associated with a respective link, of the plurality of links, in the LAG. The network device may generate a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) frame that includes information identifying the PTP port priority assigned to the port. The network device may transmit the LLDP frame to the other network device to identify, to the other network device, the PTP port priority.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, a system, and a computer program product for radio synchronous status messaging between communications units in wireless communications systems. A change of status event by one or more first communications devices is detected. A message indicative of the detected change of status event is generated. The generated message is transmitted to one or more second communications devices.

Abstract: A device may determine a link master/slave relationship for an Ethernet link associated with a connection between a component of the device and a component of another device. The device may determine that Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) is to be enabled on the Ethernet link. The device may identify the component of the device as a SyncE slave or a SyncE master associated with enabling SyncE on the Ethernet link. The device may provide an indication that the component of the device has been identified as the SyncE slave or the SyncE master. The device may determine a SyncE master/slave relationship associated with enabling SyncE on the Ethernet link. The SyncE master/slave relationship may supersede the link master/slave relationship without altering the link master/slave relationship. The device may cause the component of the device to recover a clock based on the SyncE master/slave relationship rather than the link master/slave relationship.
