Abstract

A base station distributed unit receives at least one message from a first base station central unit. The at least one message comprises one or more first configuration parameters associated with the first base station central unit. The at least one message comprises one or more second configuration parameters associated with a second base station central unit. The base station distributed unit transmits the one or more first configuration parameters and the one or more second configuration parameters.

Claims (77)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a base station distributed unit from a first base station central unit, at least one message comprising:

one or more first configuration parameters associated with the first base station central unit; and

one or more second configuration parameters associated with a second base station central unit; and

transmitting, by the base station distributed unit, the one or more first configuration parameters and the one or more second configuration parameters,

wherein:

the first base station central unit is associated with a first public land mobile network (PLMN), and the one or more first configuration parameters comprise a first PLMN identifier of the first PLMN; and

the second base station central unit is associated with a second PLMN, and the one or more second configuration parameters comprise a second PLMN identifier of the second PLMN, and wherein

the first PLMN and the second PLMN are different from each other.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one message comprises:

an F1 setup response message;

a base station central unit configuration update message; or

a base station distributed unit configuration update acknowledge message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the one or more first configuration parameters and the one or more second configuration parameters comprises transmitting, by the base station distributed unit to a wireless device, at least one system information block (SIB) comprising the one or more first configuration parameters and the one or more second configuration parameters.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one SIB comprises:

a first SIB comprising the first PLMN identifier; and

a second SIB comprising the second PLMN identifier.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one SIB comprises cell parameters for at least one of a first public land mobile network (PLMN) or a second PLMN, the cell parameters comprising at least one of:

a cell identifier of a cell that transmits the at least one SIB;

a closed subscriber group identifier of the cell;

a first cell identifier of the cell, wherein the first cell identifier is associated with the first PLMN;

a second cell identifier of the cell, wherein the second cell identifier is associated with the second PLMN;

a first closed subscriber group identifier of the cell, wherein the first closed subscriber group identifier is associated with the first PLMN;

a second closed subscriber group identifier of the cell, wherein the second closed subscriber group identifier is associated with the second PLMN;

a first base station central unit identifier of the first base station central unit;

a second base station central unit identifier of the first base station central unit;

a first base station identifier of a first base station associated with the first base station central unit; or

a second base station identifier of a second base station associated with the second base station central unit.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the base station distributed unit from a wireless device, a radio resource control message that is based on at least one of the one or more first configuration parameters or the one or more second configuration parameters; and

configuring, by the base station distributed unit, radio resources for the wireless device based on the radio resource control message.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the base station distributed unit, at least one packet from at least one of the first base station central unit or the second base station central unit; and

transmitting, by the base station distributed unit, the at least one packet to a wireless device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

a first base station comprises the first base station central unit and the base station distributed unit; and

the first base station further comprises the second base station central unit.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

a first base station comprises the first base station central unit and the base station distributed unit; and

a second base station comprises the second base station central unit and the base station distributed unit.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the first base station central unit from the second base station central unit, at least one message comprising the one or more second configuration parameters associated with the second base station central unit, wherein

the base station distributed unit receives from the first base station central unit the at least one message comprising one or more first configuration parameters and one or more second configuration parameters.

11. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first base station central unit, one or more second configuration parameters associated with a second base station central unit; and

sending, by the first base station central unit to a base station distributed unit, at least one message comprising:

one or more first configuration parameters associated with the first base station central unit; and

the one or more second configuration parameters associated with the second base station central unit, wherein:

the first base station central unit is associated with a first public land mobile network (PLMN), and the one or more first configuration parameters comprise a first PLMN identifier of the first PLMN; and

the second base station central unit is associated with a second PLMN, and the one or more second configuration parameters comprise a second PLMN identifier of the second PLMN, and wherein

the first PLMN and the second PLMN are different from each other.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, by the first base station central unit, at least one packet for a wireless device; and

sending, by the first base station central unit, the at least one packet to the base station distributed unit.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one message comprises:

an F1 setup response message;

a base station central unit configuration update message; or

a base station distributed unit configuration update acknowledge message.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein a first base station comprises the first base station central unit and the base station distributed unit, and:

the first base station further comprises the second base station central unit; or

a second base station comprises the second base station central unit and the base station distributed unit.

15. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first base station central unit, one or more second configuration parameters associated with a second base station central unit; and

receiving, by a base station distributed unit from the first base station central unit, at least one message comprising:

one or more first configuration parameters associated with the first base station central unit; and

the one or more second configuration parameters associated with a second base station central unit; and

transmitting, by the base station distributed unit, the one or more first configuration parameters and the one or more second configuration parameters, wherein:

the first base station central unit is associated with a first public land mobile network (PLMN), and the one or more first configuration parameters comprise a first PLMN identifier of the first PLMN; and

the second base station central unit is associated with a second PLMN, and the one or more second configuration parameters comprise a second PLMN identifier of the second PLMN, and wherein
