Abstract: Techniques are provided for signal translation in a hybrid network environment. In one example, a first provider edge node obtains a connection status indication from a first one of a second provider edge node via a packet switched network or a third provider edge node via a time-division multiplexing transport network. The first provider edge node translates the connection status indication between a packet switched network format and a time-division multiplexing transport network format. The first provider edge node provides the connection status indication to a second one of the second provider edge node via the packet switched network or the third provider edge node via the time-division multiplexing transport network.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods to apply route-map configurations in a computing network.

The routing computing system may further identify a highest priority route-map clause associated with the longest prefix match or any parent prefixes of the longest prefix match in the radix tree. Once identified, the computing system may perform an action associated with the highest priority route-map clause.

Abstract: A notification regarding a transition of a User Equipment (UE) from a standby operating mode to an active operating mode is exchanged between a UE and a network element in a communication network. The notification could be an uplink notification that is transmitted by the UE to the network element in response to an operating mode transition criterion for the UE being met at the UE, or a downlink notification that is transmitted by the network element to the UE in response to an operating mode transition criterion for the UE being met at the network element. The UE transitions from the standby operating mode to the active operating mode in response to the operating mode transition criterion being satisfied. The transmitter of the notification, which could be the UE or the network element, could also perform grant-free transmission of data without first receiving a response to the notification.
