Abstract: Dynamic frame structure coordination is performed between a parent integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node and child IAB node based on one or more multiplexing options. The parent node sends a dynamic frame structure coordination (DFSC) message to an IAB user equipment function of a child node, indicating that resources are available or released, overriding a semi-statically coordinated and configured downlink/uplink resource pattern. The parent node can make, or the child node can request, the modification. The DFSC message includes multiplexing option(s). The child IAB node's user equipment function communicates the frame structure update to the child node's distributed unit function, which allows the distributed unit function to utilize those resources in accordance with the multiplexing option.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a self-interference channel response of a transceiver of a mobile base station having a transmitter and a receiver. The self-interference channel response spans multiple sub-bands of a predetermined mobile cellular frequency channel. A first sub-band of the multiple sub-bands is identified according to the self-interference channel response and, an estimate is determined, at the receiver, of a first coupled transmit power level of the transmitter when operating within the first sub-band. A receiver sensitivity is adjusted according to the first coupled transmit power level to obtain an adjustment adapted to increase receiver sensitivity, while restricting operation of the receiver to a substantially linear region. The adjustment allows a transmission within the first sub-band and a reception within a second sub-band of the plurality of sub-bands to occur simultaneously at the mobile base station. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: In a 5G network, control unit (CU) can be connected to a radio access network controller (RC). In response to receiving measurement data from the CU, the RC can process the measurement data to determine polices and procedures related to radio resource management, and/or radio resource control, which can then be utilized to manage mobility, dual-connectivity, carrier aggregation, and/or integrated access and backhaul topology formation and routing. The measurement data provided by the CU can be provided directly to the RC without processing of the measurement data by the CU.
