Abstract: In some implementations, a radio access network (RAN) may obtain data rate information from a device. The device may be associated with an application and the data rate information may be associated with the application. The RAN may determine, based on the data rate information, one or more data rate parameters associated with the application. The one or more data rate parameters may include at least one of one or more radio frequency parameters, one or more network loading parameters, one or more mobility parameters, or an available data rate parameter. The RAN may transmit, to the device, the one or more data rate parameters.

Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to receive a data stream connection request via a WIFI connection or a wired connection and establish a cellular wireless connection with a base station based on the data stream connection request. The processor may be further configured to determine a cellular wireless Quality of Service (QOS) class or network slice assigned to the cellular wireless connection by a core network associated with the base station; map the cellular wireless QoS class or network slice to a priority class associated with the WIFI connection or the wired connection; assign the priority class to a data stream associated with the data stream connection request; and process data units associated with the data stream based on the assigned priority class.

Abstract: A network device may select a target reliability from a table that includes a list of target reliabilities not associated with a default reliability, and may provide the target reliability to a user equipment. The user equipment may be configured to associate the target reliability with a channel quality indicator (CQI) process that computes CQI values that satisfy the target reliability.

Abstract: A technique facilitates actuation of a packer to a sealing and gripping position along a borehole. The packer includes a packer element structure mounted about a center structure. The packer element structure includes a sealing element mounted along an expandable base such that the sealing element may be radially expanded. Additionally, the packer includes an actuator member connected to a portion of the packer element structure via a release mechanism, e.g. a shear member. A plurality of slips may be located on the actuator member such that linear movement of the actuator member causes successive movement of the packer sealing element and then the slips in the radially outward direction. The packer may be constructed such that this sequential setting motion creates a jarring effect to ensure the slips securely bite into the surrounding wellbore surface, e.g. casing surface.

The RAN may transmit, to the server device, the one or more data rate parameters.

Abstract: A device receives a message associated with creating a session for a User Equipment device (UE), the messaging identifying a Quality of Service (QOS) for the UE. The device adjusts discontinuous reception (DRx) parameters for the UE based on the identified QoS for the UE and instructs the UE to increase or decrease a DRx wait time based on the adjusted DRx parameters.

Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an offset-based mobility prioritization service. The offset-based mobility prioritization service may include obtaining performance metric information and any changes to configuration and/or topology of a transport network, such as an X-haul network. The offset-based mobility prioritization service may include calculating offset values, such as cell individual offset values, based on this information. The offset values may be calculated based on other factors, such as end device classifications, states and/or modes of end devices, and other information. The offset-based mobility prioritization service may further include calculating neighbor lists.

Abstract: In some implementations, a distributed unit (DU) associated with a network node may determine a rate variation associated with one or more of a quality of service (QOS) flow or a network slice. The DU may perform a scheduling for a user equipment (UE) based on the rate variation, wherein the scheduling is associated with an adjusted data rate based on the rate variation.

Abstract: A system described herein may output, during a particular time window (e.g., in a simulation environment), a series of wireless transmissions to one or more User Equipment (“UEs”) of a particular type. The series of wireless transmissions may include first set of transmissions associated with a first set of parameters and a second set of transmissions associated with a second set of parameters. The system may receive channel quality measurements from the one or more UEs, and may identify a measure of variance between the channel quality measurements from the one or more UEs. The system may generate a reliability score associated with the particular type of UE based on the identified measure of variance, and may output, to a wireless network, the reliability score associated with the particular type of UE. The wireless network may communicate with UEs of the particular type based on the reliability score.

Abstract: A base station may include a processor configured to configure a default time period for periodic service requests for discontinuous reception (DRX) for user equipment (UE) devices serviced by the base station. The processor may be further configured to obtain a signal quality value for a UE device serviced by the base station; determine that the obtained signal quality value is less than a low signal quality threshold; and configure a longer time period for the periodic service requests for DRX for the UE device, in response to determining that the obtained signal quality value is less than the low signal quality threshold.

The network node may estimate a packet delay associated with the communication link based on the performance measurements.

Abstract: A network device may determine that a user equipment is entering a first frequency band coverage area provided by the network device and may determine that the user equipment is a power sensitive device or a narrow band device. The network device may receive multiple carrier information associated with the network device based on determining that the user equipment is a power sensitive device or a narrow band device. The network device may process the multiple carrier information, with a machine learning model, to determine a quantity of repetitions to extend uplink coverage for the user equipment and may enable the quantity of repetitions to extend the uplink coverage for the user equipment.

Abstract: In some implementations, a network node may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a configuration that indicates a default time periodicity value for a scheduling request (SR) occasion. The network node may identify a service provided by the network node. The network node may transmit, to the UE, a reconfiguration message that indicates a modified time periodicity value for the SR occasion, the modified time periodicity value being different than the default time periodicity value based on the service provided by the network node. The network node may receive, from the UE, an SR based on the modified time periodicity value for the SR occasion.

Abstract: A base station device dynamically adjusts the configuration of a special slot when operating in a time division duplexing (TDD) mode. The base station can initially communicate with a user equipment (UE) using a first frequency in a time division duplexing (TDD) mode. Using, for example, a timing advance procedure, the base station can determine when the UE requires an expanded cell range (e.g., if the UE is at the cell range edge). In response, the base station adjusts a configuration of a special slot for the UE. The adjustment to the special slot can comprise an addition of a gap symbol, a prioritizing of uplink transmissions over downlink transmissions, or a reserving of one or more downlink symbols during scheduling.
