Abstract: A communication system for performing DRX-aware channel resource allocation is described. The communication system includes a plurality of radio points (RPs), each configured to exchange radio frequency (RF) signals with a plurality of user equipment (UEs) at a site. The communication system also includes a baseband controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of radio points. The baseband controller is configured to reallocate a second UE's channel resource in a first UE's DRX subcycle, for RPs in a first UE's combining zone vector (CZV), from a second UE to a first UE, wherein the first UE's CZV matches the second UE's CZV.

Abstract: Passive collection of neighbor base station configuration information through handover messages is provided. In one embodiment, a base station comprises: a processor coupled to a memory, the base station coupled to a core network for a wireless network operator, the base station radiates downlink RF signals to at least one UE and receives uplink RF signals from the UE. The processor implements: a UE handover function that receives and processes a handover request message associated with a UE transferring to the cell from a neighboring cell; and a handover request parser that evaluates information elements in the handover request message to extract neighbor information. The handover request parser stores the extracted neighbor information as a set of neighbor information in the memory; and wherein the processor is configured to adjust operation of the base station based on the set of neighbor information stored in the memory.

Abstract: A communication system for performing non-DRX-aware channel resource allocation is described. The communication system includes a plurality of radio points (RPs), each configured to exchange radio frequency (RF) signals with a plurality of user equipment (UEs) at a site. The communication system also includes a baseband controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of radio points. The baseband controller is configured to determine, for each RP communicating with a UE, available channel resources in each of a plurality of subframes. The baseband controller is also configured to determine a least-loaded subframe that has the most available channel resources. The baseband controller is also configured to assign an available channel resource in the least-loaded subframe to the UE.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include creating a digital transportation pass that allows transportation requestor devices to request transportation via the digital transportation pass within a multi-modal transportation ecosystem. The method may further include receiving a transportation request from a transportation requestor device. The method may also include determining that the transportation request satisfies one or more redemption criteria for redeeming the digital transportation pass, and then fulfilling the transportation request in response to determining that the transportation request satisfies the redemption criteria. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A distributed radio access network (RAN) includes a plurality of remote units (RUs), each being configured to exchange RF signals with at least one UE. The distributed RAN also includes a central unit communicatively coupled to the plurality of RUs via a fronthaul and/or midhaul network comprising one or more ethernet switches. The distributed RAN also includes at least one processor configured to receive diagnostic information relating at least to processing performed for at least two layers of a network and/or air interface implemented by the distributed RAN; identify a system performance problem based on the diagnostic information; search for a cause of the system performance problem using at least a portion of the diagnostic information; and when the cause of the system performance problem is identified using the at least a portion of the diagnostic information, determine at least one action to correct, limit, or circumvent the system performance problem.
