Abstract: Apparatus and methods for channel access in an Unlicensed (UL) Sidelink (SL) communication system. In one embodiment, a relay UE triggers a listen-before-talk (LBT) process requesting to access first resources for transmission of data to a base station (BS), or reception of data from the BS. In response to the LBT, the relay UE receives a first grant that indicates the first resources for the transmission of data to a base station (BS), or reception of data from the BS. The relay UE receives from one or more UEs which are in a first set, wherein the first set of UEs are in communication range of the first UE, requests to access second resources for transmission or reception of data between the first UE, and the one or more UEs in the first set. Finally, the relay UE transmits grants of the second resources, to the one or more UEs of the first set, wherein the second resources include the remaining part of the first resources not used by the first UE.

Abstract: A first node receives N CSI configuration information; updates a CSI reporting in a first CSI reporting subset; transmits a first information block; the N CSI configuration information is respectively used to determine N CSI reportings, and the first CSI reporting subset is a subset of the N CSI reportings; the first information block comprises at least one CSI reporting of the N CSI reportings; any Type I CSI reporting in the N CSI reportings corresponds to a first-type integer, and any Type II CSI reporting in the N CSI reportings corresponds to a second-type integer, the N CSI reportings respectively correspond to N priorities, and the N priorities are used to determine a number of CSI reporting(s) comprised in the first CSI reporting subset. The above method configures different processing units for CSI reportings with different CSI computing power requirements, thus avoiding the waste of computing power.

Abstract: Redundant configuration and testing for flexible nodal layer 3 overlay of layer 2 traffic. A network deployed at a site includes a local network to carry layer 2 traffic, a pair of layer 3 tunnel instantiation devices in a failover configuration. Each layer 3 tunnel instantiation device encapsulates the layer 2 traffic into layer 3 traffic and forwards the layer 3 traffic to a network gateway using a configurable layer 3 tunnel. A virtual client on each layer 3 tunnel instantiation device sends simulated client traffic to the network gateway via the local network and a partner layer 3 tunnel instantiation device to check end-to-end operability of the local network, the partner layer 3 tunnel instantiation device, and the network gateway. A testing layer 3 tunnel instantiation device initiates an action with respect to the partner layer 3 tunnel instantiation device based on a response to the simulated client traffic.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing fraud or distributed denial of service (“DDoS”) protection for session initiation protocol (“SIP”)-based communication. In various embodiments, a computing system may receive, from a first router, first SIP data indicating a request to initiate a SIP-based media communication session between a calling party at a source address and a called party at a destination address. The computing system may analyze the received first SIP data to determine whether the received first SIP data comprises any abnormalities indicative of potential fraudulent or malicious actions. If so, the computing system may reroute the first SIP data to a security deep packet inspection (“DPI”) engine, which may perform a deep scan of the received first SIP data to identify any known fraudulent or malicious attack vectors contained within the received first SIP data. If so, the security DPI engine may initiate mitigation actions.

Such devices may be further configured to modify network or routing policies based on network performance and latency information obtained from and/or shared by various network components and devices in the communication network.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing name-based routing through networks. In various embodiments, a broker manager in each of a plurality of networks may receive a subscription request for a network device from a client device, each device being locally accessible or disposed in an upstream or downstream network. The broker manager uses its client broker to communicate with a locally accessible client device, and uses its mediator broker (and, sometimes, an intermediate device(s)) to communicate with a locally accessible network device. The broker manager otherwise uses its messaging brokers to communicate with control channels of one or more networks. Once subscription with the network device has been established, any commands and responses between the client device and the network device may be routed over pub/sub channels via the broker managers and their brokers using name-based routing, without routing based on IP address of the network device.
