  • Publication number: 20230362958
    Abstract: A wireless access node serves an Integrated Access and Backhaul Mobile Termination (IAB MT). The wireless access node wirelessly receives an IAB request from the IAB MT over a frequency channel. The wireless access node determines an IAB subchannel in the frequency channel for the IAB MT responsive to the IAB request. The IAB subchannel comprises adjacent resource blocks in the frequency channel. The wireless access node wirelessly indicates the IAB subchannel to the IAB MT. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges IAB data with the IAB MT over the IAB subchannel.

  • Patent number: 11778453
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a User Equipment (UE) over a Radio Access Network (RAN) and externally exposes RAN data. A RAN controller comprises at least one of a near-Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller (near-RT RIC) and a non-Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller (non-RT RIC). The RAN controller controls the RAN, and the RAN responsively serves the UE. The RAN controller identifies RAN data that characterizes the RAN service to the UE. The RAN controller transfer the RAN data to a Network Exposure Function (NEF). The NEF receives the RAN data from the RAN controller and exposes the RAN data to an external data system like an Application Server (AS).

  • Patent number: 11751219
    Abstract: A wireless access node serves wireless User Equipment (UEs) and wireless Integrated Access and Backhaul Mobile Terminations (IAB MTs). A radio exchanges access communications with the UEs over a frequency channel. The radio receives an IAB request from one of the IAB MTs, and in response, a controller allocates the frequency channel into a UE subchannel and an MT subchannel. The radio now exchanges access communications with the UEs over the UE subchannel and exchanges backhaul communications with the wireless IAB MT over the MT subchannel. The controller reallocates the frequency channel when an IAB MT is added to give the new IAB MT its own MT subchannel. The controller reallocates the frequency channel when an IAB MT is removed to increase the size of the UE subchannel.

  • Patent number: 11696188
    Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a Session Management Function (SMF) transfers signaling to a User Plane Function (UPF) to deliver a wireless data service to a wireless User Equipment (UE). The UPF exchanges user data with the wireless UE over a source Radio Unit (RU) to deliver the wireless data service. A Radio Resource Control (RRC) detects the RU handover of the wireless UE from the source RU to a target RU and transfers an RU handover notice for the wireless UE the SMF. The SMF transfers new signaling to the UPF to modify the wireless data service for the wireless UE. The UPF exchanges additional user data with the wireless UE over the target RU to deliver the modified wireless data service to the wireless UE.

  • Publication number: 20230199057
    Abstract: A method for locally serving content is described. The method includes receiving, at a gateway device, a first request for a data file via a first user device communicatively coupled to the gateway device. The data file is received at the gateway device from an external server and sent to the first user device. A data record is stored to a storage device indicating that the data file has been sent to the first user device. A second request for the data file is later received at the gateway device from a second user device communicatively coupled to the gateway device. In response to the receiving of the second request, the data record is accessed and causes a computer read of the data record. The first user device is then instructed to transfer the data file to the second user device, via the gateway device, based upon the computer read.

  • Patent number: 11582653
    Abstract: User circuitry within a wireless User Equipment (“UE”) in need of a network slice or a handoff between cells identifies a slice service type. The user circuitry processes an uplink interference threshold of a target cell based on the slice service type. The user circuitry identifies a preferred operating frequency band based on the slice service type and the uplink interference threshold of the target cell. The user circuitry transfers a service request for a wireless data service having the slice service type over the preferred operating frequency band to network circuitry. The network circuitry wirelessly exchanges data with a wireless access node associated with the target cell over the preferred operating frequency band to establish a packet data unit session comprising the slice service type.

  • Publication number: 20230040574
    Abstract: A tree data structure for a file is maintained. The tree data structure is used to capture different versions of the file at different moments of time. An access pattern associated with the file stored on a storage system is determined based at least in part on time-series data associated with the file using the tree data structure that captures different versions of the file at different moments in time. The determined access pattern indicates a period for which the file is likely to be accessed. The file is migrated from a secondary storage tier to a primary storage tier.

  • Publication number: 20220417729
    Abstract: User circuitry within a wireless User Equipment (“UE”) that may utilize multiple subscriber identity module (“SIM”) profiles activates two or more SIM profiles to be active simultaneously. The user circuitry transfers service requests for wireless data services using the SIM profiles to network circuitry. The wireless data services may have different slice service types over different operating frequency bands of different target cells. The network circuitry wirelessly exchanges data with wireless access nodes associated with the target cells over the operating frequency bands to establish packet data unit sessions comprising the slice service types using the respective SIM profiles such that multiple packet data unit sessions are active using multiple SIM profiles simultaneously. Various applications may be mapped to the appropriate SIM profile and packet data unit session based on the respective provisioned slice characteristics matching the respective application requirements.
