MANAGEMENT OF WIRELESS FRONTHAUL LINKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18189061 titled 'MANAGEMENT OF WIRELESS FRONTHAUL LINKS

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication, specifically focusing on managing operations of a wireless fronthaul network using an FNC (Fronthaul Network Controller). The FNC monitors network conditions and parameters of both the fronthaul network and the radio access network to optimize wireless communication.

• FNC implemented to manage operations of a wireless fronthaul network
• Monitors network conditions and parameters of the fronthaul network and radio access network
• Fronthaul network includes at least one DU supporting communication with multiple RUs via communication links
• Radio access network includes multiple RUs supporting communication for wireless devices
• FNC outputs fronthaul operation parameters for the DU based on network conditions to support communication for RUs via communication links

Potential Applications: - Optimization of wireless communication networks - Enhanced management of fronthaul and radio access networks

Problems Solved: - Efficient management of wireless communication networks - Optimization of communication parameters for improved performance

Benefits: - Enhanced network performance - Improved communication efficiency - Better utilization of network resources

Commercial Applications: Title: "Wireless Fronthaul Network Management Technology for Enhanced Communication" This technology can be applied in telecommunications companies, network infrastructure providers, and wireless communication equipment manufacturers to optimize network performance and enhance communication capabilities.

Questions about Wireless Fronthaul Network Management Technology: 1. How does the FNC optimize communication parameters in the fronthaul network? 2. What are the key benefits of implementing the FNC in wireless communication networks?

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. An FNC may be implemented to manage operations of a wireless fronthaul network. The FNC may monitor one or more network conditions and parameters of a network, which may include a fronthaul network and a radio access network. The fronthaul network may include at least one DU that supports wireless communications with a plurality of RUs via a plurality of fronthaul communication links, and the radio access network may include the plurality of RUs supporting communications for a plurality of wireless devices. The FNC may output, based on the one or more network conditions and the parameters, one or more fronthaul operation parameters for the at least one DU to support wireless communication for at least one RU of the plurality of RUs via one or more respective communication links of the plurality of communication links.
