Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dynamic offline end-to-end packet processing based on traffic class. An end-to-end connection is set up between an application on a client including a processor and host memory and an application on a remote server. An offline packet buffer is allocated in host memory. While the processor and/or a core on with the client application is executed is in a sleep state, the client is operated in an interrupt-less and polling-less mode as applied to a predetermined traffic class. Under the mode, a Network Interface Controller (NIC) at the client receives network traffic from the remote server and determines whether the network traffic is associated with the predetermined traffic class. When it is, the NIC writes packet data extracted from the network traffic to an offline packet buffer. Descriptors are generated and provided to the NIC to inform the NIC of the location and size of the offline packet buffer.

Abstract: A hybrid 5G/DSL service provides an on-premises router device that monitors both wireless and wired data connections to provide optimized service using both connections. A 5G/DSL router can make use of “always available” bandwidth of a DSL connection to avoid overuse of more limited wireless bandwidth while augmenting and/or substituting with wireless bandwidth as needed. A hybrid 5G/DSL service may be especially convenient for rural customers who may not have access to fiber or cable-based data services. Moreover, the 5G/DSL hybrid service may provide a cost effective option for customers who simply want to augment DSL service in limited situations (e.g., for occasional media streaming) rather than paying for “always-available” higher bandwidth connections that remain largely underutilized much of the time.

Abstract: A base transmission signal and an auxiliary transmission signal may be used to (e.g., concurrently) improve a harvesting efficiency of an energy receiver while maintaining a prespecified performance level of an information receiver. An auxiliary transmission signal may be constructed. The construction of the auxiliary transmission signal may be signaled. An auxiliary transmission signal may be adapted. The adaptation of the auxiliary transmission signal may be signaled. An impact of auxiliary transmission signals on an information receiver's performance may be mitigated. One or more narrowband energy harvesting (EH) signals may be used, for example to provide a high peak to average power ratio (PARR) for EH devices (e.g., without significantly impacting overall transmitted signal PARR) characteristics. One or more narrowband auxiliary signals may be used, for example to enhance the PARR characteristics of an information signal sub-band.

Abstract: A first apparatus communicates with a second apparatus via a first link in a first frequency band and via a second link in a second frequency band different than the first frequency band by performing operations. For example, the first apparatus performs an independent enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) on each of the first link and the second link. Then, the first apparatus obtains a transmit opportunity (TXOP). Next, the first apparatus synchronizes a starting time and/or an ending time of a transmission and a reception on the first link and the second link to avoid causing an in-device coexistence (IDC) interference due to the transmission and the reception occurring simultaneously. Alternatively, the first apparatus refrains from transmitting and receiving on the first link and the second link simultaneously to avoid causing the IDC interference.

Abstract: An MEC node acquires, from each base station, a measured traffic volume in a cell (target cell) formed by each base station, and predicts a traffic volume after a unit time in the target cell based on the measured traffic volume. Upon receiving from a vehicle in the target cell an inquiry regarding whether or not data transmission is permitted, the MEC node determines whether or not to permit data transmission by the vehicle, based on a prediction result of the traffic volume, and a volume of data to be transmitted by the vehicle which is indicated by information included in the inquiry. In accordance with a result of the determination, the MEC node transmits, to the vehicle that has transmitted the inquiry, a response indicating whether or not to permit data transmission.

Abstract: A system and method to instruct a user equipment (UE) how Uplink Control Information (UCI) on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) should be transmitted with carrier aggregation. A semi-static signaling of a UCI mapping bit (via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter) is used by a base station such as an eNodeB to require the UE to transmit UCI using one of two pre-determined UCI transmission modes. The bit can be decided by the base station, considering, for example, the available bandwidth or quality of different Uplink Component Carriers (UL CCs) associated with the UE. This network-based solution allows the network to either configure a general rule of UCI transmission by the UE or to enforce the UCI transmission on the Uplink Primary cell (UL Pcell). Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

Abstract: A network control and rate optimization solution for multiuser multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) communications in wireless networks. This solution is decentralized and includes scheduling and routing of the MU-MIMO communication links that adapt to dynamic channel, interference, and traffic conditions. The ergodic sum rates of MIMO multiple access channel (MAC) and interference channel (IC) configurations are analyzed by considering the error, and overhead effects due to channel estimation (training) and quantization (feedback). By taking practical considerations such as channel estimation, quantization error and in-network interference into account, the rate gain is shown with an increasing number of antennas compared with single-input single-output (SISO) systems. A distributed channel access protocol to select and activate MU-MIMO configurations is presented with the maximum achievable sum rates using local information on channel, interference, and traffic conditions.
