Abstract: A method for identifying a target cell for handover (HO) by a Radio access network (RAN) controller in an open RAN (O-RAN) environment includes obtaining at least one quality of service (QoS) class identifier (QCI) level associated with an active bearer in the user equipment, obtaining a received signal strength value, a first load values and a plurality of second load values for the neighbor cells and selecting the target cell from the neighbour cells based on the QCI level in the user equipment and the received signal strength value, the first load value and the second load value of neighbour cells.

Abstract: A method for identifying a user equipment for a real-time handover and selecting a target cell by a Radio access network (RAN) controller in a radio access network (RAN) environment includes obtaining a serving cell load parameter with respect to a neighbour cell load parameter associated with at least one neighbour cell, identifying the at least one user equipment positioned in a serving cell based on a channel quality index (CQI) and a throughput value, transmitting the serving cell load parameter with respect to the neighbour cell load parameter to the identified user equipment and selecting the target cell from the neighbour cells for the user equipment.

Abstract: A method for identifying user equipment for real-time handover trigger in open-radio access network (O-RAN) environment includes steps to obtain a serving cell handover parameter with respect to a neighbour cell handover parameter, to determine user equipment from the plurality of user equipment positioned in the serving cell, to identify the user equipment positioned in the serving cell and transmit the serving cell handover parameter with respect to the neighbour cell handover parameter associated with the neighbour cell of a plurality of neighbour cells to the identified user equipment.

Abstract: The present invention provides an integrated wireless access backhaul device for network densification using a mesh network includes at least one integrated access and backhaul module with a first backhaul interface using one optical wireless communication links, a second backhaul interface using V-band links, an access interface providing a radio link to a user equipment and a switch fabric to transfer data between the first backhaul interface, the second backhaul interface and the access interface in real-time.
