Abstract: The present invention provides a preamble that is inserted into an OFDMA frame and has a common sequence for all the base stations participating in a transmission. The subscriber station performs fine synchronization using the common sequence on the common preamble, and the resulting peaks will provide the locations of candidate base stations. The base station specific search is then performed in the vicinities of those peaks by using base station specific pseudo-noise sequences. With this two stage cell search, the searching window is drastically reduced. The preamble is matched to known values by a respective receiver to decode the signals and permit multiple signals to be transferred from the transmitter to the receiver. The preamble may comprise two parts, Preamble-I and Preamble-2, which may be used in different systems, including multioutput, multi-input (MIMO) systems.

Abstract: A reconfigurable TDD-FDD multiplexer operates in a TDD mode and a FDD mode. The TDD-FDD multiplexer includes an interdigital quadruplexer in series with a one-pole three-throw RF switch. The interdigital quadruplexer includes of two V-band filters, connectable to a transmitter and a receiver, respectively, for TDD mode duplexing, and two E-band filters, connectable to a transmitter and a receiver, respectively, for FDD mode duplexing. The E-band filters include an E-band transmitting filter that passes an E-band transmitting frequency band, and an E-band receiving filter that passes for an E-band receiving frequency band offset from the E-band transmitting frequency band. Switching between the V-band receiving filter and V-band transmitting filter enables TDD duplexing functionality at V-band frequencies. Switching to the two E-band filters enables FDD duplexing functionality at E-band frequencies.

Abstract: The problem of being unable to run microBFD using an IPv6 address over any member links of a layer 2 LAG when the LAG is DOWN (and its IPv6 address becomes or is TENTATIVE), is solved by running DAD for the address configured for the microBFD once the individual link is in DISTRIBUTING or STANDBY state and triggering (or starting) microBFD once the DAD for that address completes successfully. Further, member links of the LAG may be permitted to continue running microBFD even if the LAG interface is DOWN and even if some other member links (but not all member links) of the LAG are DOWN.

Abstract: A method for assisting communication of a source host upon movement from a first Data center (DC) to a second DC is disclosed. The method includes identifying that the source host has moved from the first DC to the second DC, ensuring that packets identifying a source as the source host in the second DC are copied to a control plane network element, and, for a first destination host identified in a first packet copied to the control plane network element and identified as a host that is not in the second DC, updating an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)/Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) cache of the source host by sending, to the source host, a first ARP message/unsolicited neighbor advertisement specifying a Media Access Control (MAC) address of an edge router associated with the source host in the second DC as a destination MAC address for the first destination host.

Abstract: A data transmitting method includes receiving from a UE a request to apply for accessing a data file in an external server. If a first part of content of the data file is stored an RAN cache, the first part of the content is transmitted to the UE. When the first part of the content is transmitted to the UE, a second part of the content of the data file is obtained from the external server. After all the first part of the content is transmitted to the UE, the second part of the content is transmitted to the UE.

Abstract: Techniques are presented herein for distributing address information of host devices in a network. At a first router device, a packet is received from a first host device that is destined for a second host device. The first host device is dually-connected to the first router and a second router device. The second router device is part of a virtual port channel pair with the first router device. A message is sent to the second router device, the message indicating that the first host device is connected to the second router device. The packet is encapsulated with an overlay header and is sent to a third router device that is connected to the second host device. The encapsulated packet contains a Layer 2 address associated with the first host device and a Layer 3 address associated with the first host device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a network node for enabling the network node to communicate with a set of one or more wireless communication devices (WCDs) and to a method performed by a WCD for communicating with the network node. The network node selects a subframe for carrying data to at least one of the WCDs included in the set of one or more WCDs. The network node determines whether an activity indicator specific to the set of one or more WCDs should be transmitted to the set of one or more WCDs; and, in response to determining that the activity indicator specific to the set of WCDs should be transmitted, the network node transmits the activity indicator in the selected subframe and/or in one or more subframes that precede the selected subframe data. The network node further transmits the data to the at least one of the WCDs included in the set of one or more WCDs in the selected subframe.
