Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for the provisioning of backhaul links over a 5G NR (New Radio) integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network for access nodes using non-5G radio access technologies. In this way, the IAB network can service devices that are connected to the core network via older 3GPP technologies, or even non-3GPP technologies such as Wi-Fi. An IAB mobile terminal can be provided at the end point access node to make the access node an IAB node. Using an existing internet protocol (IP) routing in the IAB network, or providing for an IP tunnel between the endpoint access node and the core network can then facilitate providing backhaul services for the non-5G access node.

Methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for presenting a visualization of at least one wireless channel parameter as an overlay on top of an image of an environment are described. For example, a processing system including at least one processor may obtain at least a first wireless channel parameter of at least a first location, generate a first visualization of the at least the first wireless channel parameter, where the first visualization indicates at least one of: a magnitude of the at least the first wireless channel parameter or a direction of the at least the first wireless channel parameter, and present the first visualization of the at least the first wireless channel parameter as an overlay on top of a first image of an environment associated with the first location via a display device.

Disaggregated wireless radio access networks can utilize a lower physical split architecture with open fronthaul between the radio unit and distributed baseband units. A split architecture is one in which the analogue radio front-end and the digital baseband processor in a radio are not co-located. Instead, these components are connected via a fronthaul transport network. Therefore, the baseband unit can transmit two beamforming matrices for every contiguous resource block occupied by a user. The radio unit can then interpolate between these two beamforming matrices for each of the RE inside of the resource block based on the baseband unit and the radio unit agreeing upon a method of interpolation to generate beamforming matrices per resource element.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a base station that includes a phased array antenna system and a MIMO antenna system. The MIMO antenna system may receive sounding signals sent by user equipment (UE) and determine angular location information for each UE. The angular location information may be used by the phased array antenna system to create antenna beams. The angular location information may also be used to schedule communications with multiple UEs in common beams. Other embodiments are disclosed.

The described technology is generally directed towards an autonomous topology management scheme in a wireless communications network that establishes a hierarchical structure from a peer-to-peer network without assistance from the wireless network. A group of user equipment (UEs) negotiate with each other to elect a local manager that acts as a base station by which other UEs of the group can access network resources. Described is an example voting scheme by which the negotiation process elects the local manager for a term.
