Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a central network node may transmit, to a distributed network node, a configuration of a statistic associated with a traffic instance for communicating with a user equipment (UE). The central network node may receive an indication associated with the distributed network node communicating with the UE using the traffic instance and in accordance with the statistic. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims30
An apparatus for wireless communication at a central network node, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- transmit, to a distributed network node, a configuration of a statistic indicating one or more parameters, associated with random traffic that is different from scheduled traffic, for communicating with a user equipment (UE) using a traffic instance and in accordance with an energy savings schedule of the distributed network node,
- wherein the random traffic includes guaranteed bitrate traffic and non-guaranteed bitrate traffic and the traffic instance is associated with the guaranteed bitrate traffic or the non-guaranteed bitrate traffic, and
- wherein the traffic instance is used in accordance with the statistic and based at least in part on the distributed network node coordinating the energy savings schedule of the distributed network node with the scheduled traffic and with the random traffic;
- and
- receive an indication associated with the distributed network node communicating with the UE using the traffic instance and in accordance with the statistic.

- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- receive, from a central network node, a configuration of a statistic indicating one or more parameters, associated with random traffic that is different from scheduled traffic, for communicating with a user equipment (UE) using a traffic instance and in accordance with an energy savings schedule of the distributed network node,
- wherein the random traffic includes guaranteed bitrate traffic and non-guaranteed bitrate traffic and the traffic instance is associated with the guaranteed bitrate traffic or the non-guaranteed bitrate traffic;
- determine, in accordance with the statistic, whether communicating with the UE using the traffic instance impacts the energy savings schedule of the distributed network node,
- wherein the energy savings schedule is coordinated with the scheduled traffic and with the random traffic;
- and
- transmit, to the central network node and based at least in part on the determining, an indication of a communication with the UE using the traffic instance and in accordance with the statistic.
