Abstract: In a wireless data network, a Distributed Unit (DU) receives Uplink (UL) server data from server applications in wireless User Equipment (UEs). The DU processes the UL server data with an UL DU Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ), generates UL HARQ Acknowledgements (ACKs) based on the UL server data, and transfers the UL server data to a Central Unit (CU). The CU receives the UL server data, processes the UL server data with an UL CU MAC, and transfers the UL server data. The CU receives (Downlink) DL server data for the server applications in the wireless UEs and transfers the DL server data to the DU. The DU receives the DL server data from the CU, processes the DL server data with a DL DU MAC comprising a DL DU HARQ, and transfers the DL server data and the UL HARQ ACKs to the wireless UEs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamic power allocation of a first maximum uplink power and a second maximum uplink power, wherein the first maximum uplink power is used by a first transmitter to communicate with a first access point and the second maximum uplink power is used by a second transmitter to communicate with a second access point (dual connectivity). Network parameters are determined based on characteristics and/or qualities of the downlink and/or uplink signals of a wireless communication session. In response to the determined network parameters, the WCD may increase a first maximum uplink power and decrease a second maximum uplink power in order to establish or maintain dual connectivity without exceeding the device's maximum total uplink power.

Abstract: In a wireless network, a Distributed Unit (DU) receives Uplink (UL) data from User Equipment (UE) and a Central Unit (CU) receives Downlink (DL) data for the UE. When DL-centric applications in the UE use the DL, the CU executes most network applications and the DU executes a few network applications. When the DL-centric applications use the UL, the DU executes the network applications and the CU transfers the UL data to the core. When UL-centric applications in the UE use the DL, the CU routes the DL data to the DU, and the DU executes the network applications. When the UL-centric applications use the UL, the DU executes a few network applications and the CU executes most network applications to route the data to the core. Advantageously, the DU and the CU are optimized to process UL/DL data for a user application based on whether the user application is UL-centric or DL-centric.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer-readable storage media for scheduling physical resource blocks (PRBs) comprises a communication radio access network (RAN) base station with a scheduler that assigns one or more PRBs to a communication channel of a user device. The PRBs can be prioritized according to a radio frequency (rf) interference level across the contiguous band of PRBs. The rf interference level of a communication channel of the user device can be monitored by the scheduler. The scheduler assigns one or more of the prioritized PRBs according to the rf interference level of the PRBs and according to the rf interference level of the communication channel of the user device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer-readable storage media for mitigating interference in a communication system is described. A user equipment operating near an edge of its base station coverage cell may transmit a strong uplink signal, which can interfere with a nearby base station. When a serving base station recognizes a high downlink signal from a nearby base station, an interference mitigation algorithm is enabled by the serving base station. The interference mitigation algorithm of the serving base station will control the uplink signal from the user equipment, so the user equipment does not interfere with the nearby base station.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for performing beam forming at multiple access nodes. A first access node may receive a signal level from a wireless device that fails to meet a signal level criteria. It may be determined that beam forming is enabled at the first access node. Beam forming data may then be communicated between the first access node and a second access node. It may also be determined whether coordinated multipoint transmissions are enabled at the first access node. Beams transmitted from the first access node and the second access node may be adjusted based on whether coordinated multipoint transmissions are enabled from the first access node.

Abstract: A first wireless device is served with an access node. The access node has a first coverage area. A second wireless device is served with a sub-cell access node. The sub-cell access node has a second coverage area that is contained within the access node coverage area. Based on the determination to reduce the load on the sub-cell access node, a handover of a wireless device from the sub-cell access node to the access node is caused by reducing the transmit power used by the sub-cell access node. Based on a comparison of a first signal quality indicator associated with a first sub-cell access node to a second signal quality indicator associated with a second sub-cell access node, a transmit power from the first access node is reduced.

The network information is provided to the first communication system to perform a second handover from the second communication system to the first communication system.
