Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for implementing conditional packet forwarding control rules, performed by User Plane Function (UPF). The method comprises: receiving, from a Control Plane Function (CPF) a packet forwarding control rule comprising one or more rule enforcement conditions; and applying the packet forwarding control rule according to the rule enforcement condition(s).
Abstract: A depth and distance-based single-path routing method, in which location information of nodes in network is gathered after initialization is completed, and a location table of whole-network nodes maintained by the sink node is generated. The update mechanism of the uplink Location frame is switched to a unicast triggering update mechanism to execute a depth and energy-based uplink routing algorithm. For a downlink control packet arriving at a specified ID, location information of a node is obtained through the location table to execute a distance and energy-based downlink routing policy. The distance and energy-based downlink routing policy for a downlink control packet arriving at a specified location and a downlink control packet arriving at the specified ID is executed, and a routing recovery algorithm is executed when an “open area” occurs.
Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from differentiated quality of service management. For example, specific applications run on a user equipment in a 5G radio access network may benefit from the flexible differentiated quality of service management. A method includes determining a service flow setup, and mapping traffic through the service flow by a common convergence sublayer entity to at least one radio convergence sublayer entity. The method also includes controlling the traffic through the service flow.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and device for allocating resource in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: determining a set of user equipment (UEs) requesting for resource allocation based on resource available in the wireless communication system and a resource use requirement; allocating the resource to the set of UEs according to the resource use requirement; and sending information about the allocated resource to each UE in the set of UEs.
Abstract: A wireless network system includes a base station (BS) having a number of array antennas and a controller. The network system also includes a number of mobile stations (MS) each having its own antenna array. The base station modulates a transmit signal directed to a MS with a transmit beamformer as specified by the controller. The MS equalizes a received signal with a receive beamformer. The controller is configured to calculate an outage probability of the MS based on statistical channel state information at the BS, for a given set of a transmit beamformer wk, a receive beamformer vk, and a predetermined threshold of a signal-to-noise-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the MS. The controller is also configured to obtain a solution set comprising a transmit beamformer wk and a receive beamformer vk. The controller is further configured to specify, based on the obtained solution set, the beamformers to be adopted.

Abstract: A second access network node sends endpoint information of a second transmission path on the second access network node side to the first access network node. The second transmission path is a transmission path that is between the second access network node and a third access network node. The third access network node sends endpoint information of the second transmission path on the third access network node side to the first access network node. The first access network node sends the endpoint information of the second transmission path on the third access network node side to the second access network node, and sends the endpoint information of the second transmission path on the second access network node side to the third access network node.

Abstract: A radio node and a UE are described, and methods and computer programs therein to handle separate aperiodic CSI reports for one or more static subframes, in which the direction of signal transmission is fixed, and one or more flexible subframes, in which the direction of signal transmission is variable. The method performed by a UE comprises receiving a trigger for an aperiodic CSI report as part of an uplink grant from a radio node in a static downlink subframe, said trigger indicating a CSI subframe set related to the one or more static subframes. The method further comprises reporting to the radio node, in a CSI reporting subframe, a result of an aperiodic CSI measurement for a CSI reference in the CSI subframe set. The method further comprises receiving a second trigger that relates to the one or more flexible subframes and reporting the results to the radio node.
