  • Publication number: 20210045079
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and device used in wireless communication node. A first node receives first information and second information via an air interface, the first information indicating a first time offset value, and the second information indicating a first time-domain resource relative to a first instant of time; the first instant of time is associated with a first time unit. By designing the first time offset value in the present disclosure, whenever a terminal A expects a terminal B to transmit, the terminal B is able to transmit according to a timing obtained by itself and there is no need for multiple interactions between these terminals to acquire a timing advance (TA), thus improving radio signal transmission efficiency on sidelink in IOT and V2X systems and the system's overall performance.

  • Publication number: 20210044509
    Abstract: Methods and systems for optimized communication path and response time selection of a computing system resource are described herein. In an implementation, a method includes receiving, at an edge gateway device from a requesting device, a service request. The edge gateway device requests from an endpoint tracker server, computing system resource locations which are responsive to the service request. Round-trip response times are computed for computing system resources for each received computing system resource location. The service request is directly sent to a computing system resource location with minimum round-trip response time, wherein a round-trip response time is a combination of communication path length and computing system resource response time. Round-trip response times are maintained and updated for future service requests.
