Abstract: In a wireless data network, a Distributed Unit (DU) receives Uplink (UL) server data from server applications in wireless User Equipment (UEs). The DU processes the UL server data with an UL DU Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ), generates UL HARQ Acknowledgements (ACKs) based on the UL server data, and transfers the UL server data to a Central Unit (CU). The CU receives the UL server data, processes the UL server data with an UL CU MAC, and transfers the UL server data. The CU receives (Downlink) DL server data for the server applications in the wireless UEs and transfers the DL server data to the DU. The DU receives the DL server data from the CU, processes the DL server data with a DL DU MAC comprising a DL DU HARQ, and transfers the DL server data and the UL HARQ ACKs to the wireless UEs.

Abstract: A data communication system serves a user application in a User Equipment (UE). The data communication system receives a subscription from an application server into a Network Exposure Function (NEF). The subscription is for user data from the user application in the UE. The data communication system receives the user data from the user application in the UE over a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and transfers the user data to the NEF. The data communication system transfers the user data from the NEF for delivery to the application server in response to the subscription.

Abstract: A data communication network serves a user application in User Equipment (UE) over a Virtual Private Network (VPN) Gateway (GW), Application Function (AF), and Network Exposure Function (NEF). The user application in the UE transfers user data to a VPN application in the UE. The VPN application in the UE transfers the user data over a VPN to the VPN-GW for delivery to the NEF. The VPN-GW receives user data over the VPN and transfers the user data to the AF for delivery to the NEF. The AF receives the user data for delivery to the NEF and generates an Application Programming Interface (API) call with the user data. The AF transfers the API call to the NEF. The NEF receives the API call and responsively exposes the user data. The user data may comprise user signaling, and the UE may exchange user data with external systems over the VPN GW responsive to the user signaling.

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.
