Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for carrier configuration and monitoring of communication devices in a shared communication environment. In some implementations, a carrier configuration may be performed in a radio access network compliant radio unit (RU), where one or more distributed units (DU) may be associated with different carriers and/or different network operators. Further, monitoring of each such DU and/or any its management connections may be executed, whereby the remote radio unit may be configured to determine individual carrier states when there is a specific DU failure.
Claims17
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- grouping a plurality of first communication devices into a plurality of groups and associating each group in the plurality of groups with a second communication device in a wireless communication system;
- configuring the second communication device for communication with one or more groups of first communication devices;
- and
- transmitting, using the configured second communication device, one or more communications in the wireless communication system.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor, and
- at least one non-transitory storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- grouping a plurality of first communication devices into a plurality of groups and associating each group in the plurality of groups with a second communication device in a wireless communication system;
- configuring the second communication device for communication with one or more groups of first communication devices;
- and
- transmitting, using the configured second communication device, one or more communications in the wireless communication system.
At least one non-transitory storage media storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- grouping a plurality of first communication devices into a plurality of groups and associating each group in the plurality of groups with a second communication device in a wireless communication system;
- configuring the second communication device for communication with one or more groups of first communication devices;
- and
- transmitting, using the configured second communication device, one or more communications in the wireless communication system.
