Systems and Methods for Energy and Fronthaul Bandwidth Efficient Uplink Performance Improvements for O-RAN-based Radio Access Networks

This invention improves how mobile devices send data back to the network in advanced 5G systems, specifically those using an open architecture called O-RAN. It works by having the network's radio part (RU) gather more detailed, raw signal information from multiple antennas, especially when a user is moving fast or there's a lot of interference. This raw data helps the network's central processing part (DU) make better decisions about how to combine and focus signals, aiming for more energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient communication, with the ability to dynamically switch this detailed data collection on and off.
