PRB BLANKING SYSTEM WITH PHONE TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE WITH SATELLITE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION

1 . A method for Physical Resource Block (PRB) blanking system with mobile devices to prevent interference with satellite signal transmission, the method comprising:

providing, by a mobile network operator, a distributed unit (DU) of a radio access network (RAN) that is served by a cellular site base station, wherein the DU is in operable communication with a corresponding primary central unit control plane (CU-CP) of a primary centralized unit (CU) that is hosted on a cloud-native virtualized compute instance;

receiving a request to use a specified frequency at a specified time to communicate with the satellite;

creating frequency notches at the specified time that are available for a mobile device to upload to the satellite; and

facilitating upload transmissions from a mobile device to the satellite in the frequency notches at the specified time.

2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising: scheduling mini-slot-based uplink transmissions from a mobile device in an Uplink Pilot Time Slot region of a subframe.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to mitigate interference between uplink signals of the mobile device and downlink signals from the satellite.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving of the request to use the specified frequency at the specified time to communicate with the satellite is made by a network Core, a network base station, or a mobile device.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: requesting a base station in the primary gNB to reverse a direction of transmission.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: providing dynamic PRB blanking reconfiguration of frequency notches.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary gNB configures bandwidth parts to optimize the network for the frequency notches used for the mobile device to upload to the satellite.

8 . A system for Physical Resource Block (PRB) blanking system with mobile devices to prevent interference with satellite signal transmission, the system comprising:

a memory that stores computer executable instructions; and

a processor that executes the computer-executable instructions and causes the processor to:

provide, by a mobile network operator, a distributed unit (DU) of a radio access network (RAN) that is served by a cellular site base station, wherein the DU is in operable communication with a corresponding primary central unit control plane (CU-CP) of a primary centralized unit (CU) that is hosted on a cloud-native virtualized compute instance;

receive a request to use a specified frequency at a specified time to communicate with the satellite;

create frequency notches at the specified time that are available for a mobile device to upload to the satellite; and

facilitate upload transmissions from a mobile device to the satellite in the frequency notches at the specified time.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein mini-slot-based uplink transmissions are scheduled from a mobile device in an Uplink Pilot Time Slot region of a subframe.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is used to mitigate interference between uplink signals of the mobile device and downlink signals from the satellite.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the receiving of the request to use the specified frequency at the specified time to communicate with the satellite is made by a network Core, a network base station, or a mobile device.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor that executes the computer-executable instructions further causes the processor to: request a base station in the primary gNB to reverse a direction of transmission.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the system includes dynamic PRB blanking reconfiguration of frequency notches.

14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the primary gNB configures bandwidth parts to optimize the network for the frequency notches used for the mobile device to upload to the satellite.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

receiving a request to use a specified frequency at a specified time to communicate with the satellite;

creating frequency notches at the specified time that are available for a mobile device to upload to the satellite; and

facilitating upload transmissions from a mobile device to the satellite in the specified notches at the specified time.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by a processor, further cause the processor to: schedule mini-slot-based uplink transmissions from a mobile device in an Uplink Pilot Time Slot region of a subframe.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by a processor, further cause the processor to: use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to mitigate interference between uplink signals of the mobile device and downlink signals from the satellite.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by a processor, further cause the processor to: request a base station in the primary gNB to reverse a direction of transmission.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the system includes dynamic Physical Resource Block (PRB) blanking reconfiguration of frequency notches.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the primary gNB configures bandwidth parts to optimize the network for the frequency notches used for the mobile device to upload to the satellite.
