Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a processor and a memory configured to store a program for establishing a wireless connection with a terminal device. The processor establishes, in accordance with the program stored in the memory, the wireless connection with the terminal device upon request for the wireless connection from one of the wireless communication device and the terminal device.

Abstract: A multi-link device (MLD) monitors each of first and second links in a multi-link operation in wireless communications, with the first link being a primary link and the second link being a secondary link. The MLD obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on one of the first link and the second link as a result of performing a contention-based channel access on the first link and the second link. The MLD checks channel status of the other of the first link and the second link. The MLD then transmits one or more frames on the first link but not on the second link, on the second link but not on the first link, or on both the first link and the second link synchronously, responsive to the channel status of the other link given the TXOP being obtained on the one of the first link and the second link.

The communication device may cause the first wireless interface to send a second signal in a case where a state of the communication device is a non-respondent state. The non-respondent state may be a state in which the Wi-Fi connection is not able to be established. The second signal may be sent from the first wireless interface before the Bluetooth connection is established.

Abstract: In a system for efficiently detecting large/elephant flows in a network, the rate at which the received packets are sampled is adjusted according to the measured heavy tailedness of the arriving traffic, such that the measured heavy tailedness reaches a specified target level. The heavy tailedness is measured using the estimated sizes of different flows associated with the arriving packets. When the measured heavy tailedness reaches and remains at the specified target level, the flows having the largest estimated sizes are likely to be the largest/elephant flows in the network.

Abstract: A network system that includes a first set of network hosts in a first domain and a second set of network hosts in a second domain. Within each of the domains, the system includes several edge switching elements (SEs) that each couple to the network hosts and forward network data to and from the set of network hosts. Within the first domain, the system includes (i) an interior SE that couples to a particular edge SE in order to receive network data for forwarding from the edge SE when the edge SE does not recognize a destination location of the network data and (ii) an interconnection SE that couples to the interior SE, the edge SE, and the second domain through an external network. When the edge SE receives network data with a destination address in the second domain, it forwards the network data directly to the interconnection SE.
