Abstract: A system, device and methodology for releasing a connection between user equipment (UE) and a node in a communications network is disclosed. The method includes, at the UE, responsive to an application layer indication that no further data is expected by the UE, receiving a RRC connection release message from the node and transmitting, from the UE, a radio link control (RLC) status message using RLC acknowledged mode (AM) to the node.

This obviates the need to wait a full 10 s per the 3GPP standard to release the connection during periods of poor radio connectivity, and reduces power consumption at the UE.

Abstract: A method for performing stateful processing of a packet at a flow-based managed forwarding element (MFE) is provided. The method sends a first packet from the MFE to a connection tracker that stores headers of a set of original direction packets that each established a new connection.

Abstract: A base station (BS) may transmit, and a user equipment (UE) may receive, a physical broadcast channel, such as a narrowband physical broadcast channel (NB-PBCH). In an interference-limited scenario with synchronous cells in a network, repetitions of a symbol being transmitted for a first physical broadcast channel of a first cell may collide with repetitions of a symbol being transmitted for a second physical broadcast channel of a second cell. This may result in the UE being unable to recover symbols of a physical broadcast channel. In some aspects, the BS may transmit, and the UE may receive, a physical broadcast channel including bits processed using a first processing stage, such as using first scrambling sequences, and a second processing stage, such as using second scrambling sequences, to compensate for the interference, thereby ensuring that the UE can recover the symbols of the physical broadcast channel.
