  • Publication number: 20220329374
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards cell reference signal interference reduction. Techniques disclosed herein can be implemented at radio access network (RAN) nodes that use dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) to send wireless communications according to both a first and a second wireless communication protocol, e.g., according to 4G LTE and 5G NR wireless communication protocols. RAN nodes can limit a cell reference signal transmission rate, thereby reducing interference associated with cell reference signal transmissions.

  • Publication number: 20220239403
    Abstract: Techniques for controlling parameters for uplink transmission associated with a device to facilitate improving a communication condition metric(s) (CCM(s)) of the uplink transmission are presented. A communication management component (CMC) can determine whether CCM satisfies a first threshold CCM. If CCM does not, CMC can modify a parameter(s) to reduce a number of resource blocks or an MCS value to improve the CCM. If respective minimum threshold levels have been reached for the number of resource blocks and MCS value, and CCM still is not satisfying the first threshold CCM, CMC can modify a parameter to increase an amount of repetition of data packets for uplink transmission (unless a maximum threshold amount of repetition is reached). If CCM satisfies an applicable threshold CCM for a defined amount of time, CMC can modify parameters to increase the number of resource blocks, increase MCS value, or reduce repetition of data packets.
