Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to selection of an operating baud rate for a building automation system that communicates over a Master-Slave Token-Passing (MS/TP) BACnet. A server (or router or gateway) connected to the MS/TP BACnet is programmed to iteratively select operating baud rates from a series of available operating baud rates. Each iteration, the server broadcasts a frame indicating baud rate selection to a plurality of building automation devices connected to a MS/TP BACnet. Each of the plurality of building automation devices connected to the MS/TP BACnet then iteratively sets its baud rate so as to match the baud rate selected by the server. The server monitors communications conducted over the MS/TP BACnet so as to determine reliability or unreliability of the communications conducted over the MS/TP BACnet using the baud rates iteratively selected. A highest reliable baud rate is then used by the building automation system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may alter, or otherwise cancel, a sidelink communication as a result of a cancelation indicator (CI) corresponding to a different UE to support automatic gain control (AGC) calibration.

In some implementations, the UE may cancel the sidelink communication from an earliest overlapping symbol to the end of a slot. In other implementations, the UE may cancel a portion of the sidelink communication and resume sidelink communications within the same slot. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may utilize one or more reference signals or symbols to enable AGC recalibration during the slot.

Abstract: A method and system for minimizing the control overhead in a multi-carrier wireless communication network that utilizes a time-frequency resource is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more zones in the time-frequency resource are designated for particular applications, such as a zone dedicated for voice-over-IP (VoIP) applications.

In some embodiments, modular coding schemes associated with the packet streams may be selected that further reduce the amount of necessary control information. In some embodiments, packets may be classified for transmission in accordance with application type, QoS parameters, and other properties. In some embodiments, improved control messages may be constructed to facilitate the control process and minimize associated overhead.
