Abstract: A packet loop runs between two participating endpoint network devices, and in particular runs in the respective data planes of the endpoint devices. A probe packet is provided to the data plane of an initiating device and is forwarded to the other device to initiate the packet loop. The source and destination addresses in the probe packet are set equal to a common address. Based on the common address, entries in the respective forwarding tables of the endpoint devices are established to point to each other so that the probe packet is forwarded back and forth between the two devices thus sustaining the packet loop. A broken loop indicates a forwarding path failure at which time corrective action to be taken.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for reducing or avoiding interference between communications of one base station-user equipment pair and communications of another base station-user equipment pair. A first user equipment can monitor a timing offset between the communications and send the timing offset to a first base station that services the first user equipment. The first base station time advances a window of time during which it receives uplink signals from the first user equipment. The base station also sends a time advance value and instructions to the first user equipment to advance a window of time during which the first user equipment transmits uplink signals to the first base station. The timing advance value is based on the timing offset value determined by the first user equipment. Thus, a gap period between uplink and downlink windows is increased, thereby reducing interference.
