Abstract: This document describes methods, devices, systems, and means for determining configurations for the exchange of configuration information during network role transitions, such as a secondary node change or a handover. A secondary base station (123) node includes a central unit (CU) (410) and one or more distributed units (DU) (420). The secondary base station node is configured to receive an addition request message including configuration information and, based on the received configuration information, determine, at the CU (410) of the secondary base station (123), whether to apply a full configuration or a delta configuration. The CU (410) generates secondary cell group information, based on cell group configuration information received from the one or more DUs (420), and send an addition response message, including the generated secondary cell group information, to a master base station (122).

Abstract: A telecommunications module defines an interior with separate right and left chambers. An optical component is housed within the left chamber. Signal input and output locations are exposed to the right chamber. The right chamber allows excess fiber to accumulate without bending in a radius smaller than a minimum bend radius. A dual-layered cable management structure is positioned within the right chamber that defines a lower cable-wrapping level and a separate upper cable-wrapping level. The upper cable-wrapping level is defined by a removable cable retainer mounted on a spool defining the lower-cable wrapping level. Cabling carrying the input and output signals are passed between the right and left chambers before and after being processed by the optical component.

Abstract: A device operative to transfer power wirelessly includes a drive-sense circuit (DSC), memory that stores operational instructions, and processing module(s). The DSC generates a drive signal based on a reference signal and provides the drive signal to a first coil via a single line and via a resonating capacitor, and simultaneously senses the drive signal via the single line, to facilitate electromagnetic coupling to a second coil to transfer power wirelessly to another device. The DSC also detects electrical characteristic(s) of the drive signal. The processing module(s) generates the reference signal and processes the digital signal to determine the electrical characteristic(s) of the drive signal. In some examples, the processing module(s) adapts the reference signal based on detection of the other device (e.g., based on interpreting the electrical characteristic(s) of the drive signal).

Abstract: According to example embodiments of the present disclosure, provided is a method, device and computer program product for backing up data. The method comprises: determining a first number of data streams for sending target data; causing the target data to be sent to a buffer via the first number of data streams; determining a second number of data streams for sending the target data from the buffer to a server based on a transmission parameter associated with transmission of the target data to the buffer and a capability of the server for receiving data from the buffer; and causing the target data to be sent from the buffer to the server via the second number of data streams. Thereby, the present solution can improve the performance of sending data in a backup client.

Abstract: Wireless networks, such as 5G (and future 6G) networks, can recognize opportunities to enhance message performance by analyzing fault types in real-time, and selecting an appropriate mitigating modulation table accordingly. Noise patterns causing adjacent-amplitude faults and adjacent-phase faults indicate the need for different modulation schemes, while the large non-adjacent faults from pulsed external interference lead to yet a different choice. Disclosed examples show how to select an appropriate mitigating modulation table through fault analysis of failed messages. By selecting and switching to different modulation tables according to the types of message faults experienced by user messages, network operators can reduce message failure rates and increase overall throughput while reducing average delay per message, according to some embodiments.
