Abstract: A method of implementing Orthogonal Channel Noise (OCN) testing in a wireless network for fully loaded conditions in the absence of actual user equipment (UE) loads, said wireless network including a radio unit (RU), a Layer 1 module, and a Layer 2 module connected to the Layer 1 module over a message-based interface, the method comprising: sending, by the Layer 2 module, OCN parameters to the Layer 1 module via a Downlink Transmission Time Interval request (DL_TTI.request) message; and configuring, by the Layer 1 module, the RU using the OCN parameters. In the method, i) the DL_TTI.request message contains isOCNsConfigured parameter; and ii) in the case the isOCNsConfigured parameter is set to TRUE, then the DL_TTI.Request message additionally contains OCNs configuration (OCNsConfig) information.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for a cellular communication. These include a group of gNBs, DUs, and CUs, each with multiple sectors, communicating with a set of UEs; each CU/DU/gNB being configured to operate in a separate server or a same server, and each CU/DU/gNB being configured to be physically located at a same place or different places; each of the set of UEs comprising a plurality of SCELLs running in different DUs, whereby a pDU MAC (PCELL MAC) module is configured to operate in one DU and a sDU MAC (SCELL MAC) module is configured to operate in a different one of the DUs; an a MAC module in each DU is configured to exchange a message with a peer DU MAC module for a seamless data transfer for supporting inter DU/vDU carrier aggregation for a UE of the set of UEs.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing paging optimization are described. In one embodiment, a method for processing a paging request in a wireless network system includes sending, by a User Equipment, a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) preamble; receiving, by the UE, a paging request; receiving, by the UE, a Random Access Response; sending, by the UE, a response with the response having a cause labeled as a paging response in place of an Radio Area Network (RAN)-based Notification Area (RNA) update response; receiving, by the UE, an RRCResume message; sending, by the UE, an RRCResume Complete message; and sending, by the UE, a paging response.

Abstract: A wireless communication device communicates with a GPRS wireless network where ciphering has gone out of sync between the wireless communication device and the wireless network. The wireless communication device triggers an authentication procedure that re-synchronizes the ciphering. Following the trigger, the wireless communication device and the wireless network continue the authentication procedure so that ciphering parameters can be negotiated again and data communication can resume.
