Abstract: Configuration of a communication module based on determination of an idle time metric is described. In one embodiment, signal strength data representative of composite signal strength indicators of a group of frequency channels utilized by the communication module is determined. A composite indicator of the composite signal strength indicators can be employed that comprises multiple signal strength indicators, sampled over time, of a first channel of the group of frequency channels. Respective values for the composite indicator can be assigned in response to comparisons of the multiple signal strength indicators to one or more defined threshold(s). An idle time metric of the first channel can be determined based on a combination of the respective values and a best channel from among the group of frequency channels can be determined based on the idle time metric. The communication module can be updated to communicate via the best channel.

Abstract: In a case that a network (NW) applies a plurality of congestion controls, various kinds of congestion control identification information along with a back-off timer (Session Management (SM) timer) are notified such that a terminal apparatus (UE) can apply a congestion control expected by the NW. Alternatively, in a case that the UE receives an NW-initiated SM request with the back-off timer activated, the UE is allowed to identify an SM timer intended by the NW-initiated SM request. Alternatively, in a case that the UE receives the NW-initiated SM request with the back-off timer activated, the UE is allowed to modify the association of the activated back-off timer and the congestion control to be applied. Thus, a communication control method for the terminal to apply the congestion control expected by the NW in the congestion controls applied by the NW in 5G congestion control that applies a plurality of congestion controls is provided.

Abstract: A system and method for soft locking on an ingress port of a networking device in a network, such as a network-on-chip (NoC). Once a soft lock is established, the port is given transmitting priority so long has the port has an available packet or packet parts that can make forward progress in the network. When the soft lock port's packet parts, which can make forward progress in the network, are not available, the networking device may choose another port. The system transmits packet parts from the other port until the soft locked port has packet parts available that can make forward progress in the network. Any arbitration scheme may be used to select the port that is soft locked and to select the other ports to transmit from when the soft locked port does not have packet parts that can make forward progress in the network. Once the packet (or all the packet parts) on the soft locked port has completed transmission, the soft lock of the soft locked port is released.

Abstract: A method for controlling the flow of data traffic on a destination device in a network involves (a) providing a table associated with the destination device; (b) reading each entry of the table from the start of the table to the end of the table; (c) for each port entry read, determining whether a buffer storage threshold for data received from a source port has been exceeded. When the buffer storage threshold for data received from the source port is determined to have been exceeded, an internal stop message is transmitted to a media access control unit on the destination device, otherwise an internal continue message is transmitted to the media access control unit. Operations (b) and (c) are repeated for each of a plurality of read cycles.

Abstract: A distributing control unit performs provisional switching control processing to a distributing unit when a link in use for first data units is a first link and a candidate link to be used is a second link. For example, the distributing control unit distributes at least one of the data units of the first data units of the data stream to the second link and distributes other data units to the first link. A determining unit determines whether or not a link in use for second data units subsequent to the first data units is to be switched from the first link to the second link based on first and second communication qualities, the first and second communication qualities being based on feedback information. The first and second communication qualities are communication qualities of the other data units and the at least one of the data units, respectively.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for sharing a transmission opportunity (TXOP) of a wireless channel. A first wireless local area network (WLAN) device can win a contention-based procedure to become an owner of the TXOP and determine to use the TXOP as a multi-device transmission opportunity (mTXOP). Although the first WLAN device is the owner of the mTXOP, the first WLAN device may allocate resources from the mTXOP to share with other WLAN devices. During a first portion of the mTXOP, the first WLAN device allocate subordinate transmission opportunities (sub-TXOPs) for use by other WLAN devices during a second portion of the mTXOP. The allocation of sub-TXOPs may be prepared based on fairness considerations, latency considerations, or both. In some implementations, a sub-TXOP may be allocated for a non-WLAN device, such as a wireless wide area network (WWAN) apparatus.

Abstract: A spatial multiplexing configuration may enable a user equipment (UE) to spatially multiplex two or more uplink channels of different types for simultaneous transmission. For example, a UE may receive an indication of a spatial multiplexing configuration from a base station. The UE may identify two or more uplink channels for simultaneous transmission on a same component carrier, where each uplink channel may be a different type. In such cases, the UE may spatially multiplex the two or more uplink channels on a same set of time/frequency resources on the component carrier in accordance with the spatial multiplexing configuration. The spatially multiplexed uplink channels may then be simultaneously transmitted by the UE on the set of resources, where the spatially multiplexed uplink channels may be simultaneously sent to the same base station or to different base stations. Additionally, different spatial parameters may be applied to each uplink channel.

At least one of the first and second nodes terminates transmission of the first and second communications when the first and second communications do not match.

Abstract: Sounding reference signal (SRS) carrier switching with short transmission time interval (sTTI)/short processing time (sPT) is discussed. A user equipment (UE) with aggregated communications including multiple time division duplex (TDD) downlink-only configured carriers may be triggered for sounding reference signal (SRS) carrier switching via a downlink control signal. The UE determines whether there are any other signals colliding or that may conflict with its transmission of SRS on a new carrier and resolves any apparent collision or conflict using a combination of signal, timing, or processing configuration prioritization. The SRS may be transmitted when conditions allow the UE to tune to the other carrier and tune back before any higher priority transmissions are scheduled.
