Abstract: A user equipment (UE) (e.g., an enhanced machine type communication (EMTC) UE) may identify several narrowbands associated with eMTC protocol based on a system bandwidth of a New Radio (NR) carrier. A base station may transmit an indication of a set of valid narrowbands for eMTC (e.g., based on coexistence considerations between eMTC and NR) to the UE. The base station may further transmit a frequency hopping pattern to the UE (e.g., associated with narrowbands within the set of valid narrowbands), and transmit one or more downlink transmissions according to the frequency hopping pattern. Additionally or alternatively, a base station may identify a subcarrier offset and/or resource block offset between resources (e.g., a resource grid) used for eMTC protocol and resources used for NR. The base station may transmit a frequency alignment parameter to the UE, and the UE may align narrowbands for eMTC accordingly.

Abstract: This invention concerns concepts for signaling resource allocation information to a terminal that indicates to the terminal assigned resources for the terminal. The terminal can receives downlink control information (DCI), which comprises a field for indicating the resource allocation information of the terminal. This resource assignment field within the DCI has a predetermined number of bits. The terminal can determines its assigned resource allocation information from the content of the received DCI, even though the bit size of the resource allocation field in the received DCI is insufficient to represent all allowed resource allocations. According to an embodiment, the received bits that are signaled to the terminal in the DCI represent predetermined bits of the resource allocation information. All remaining one or more bits of the resource allocation information that are not included in the field of the received DCI are set to predetermined value.

Abstract: This application discloses a congestion control method and related apparatus. In the congestion control method, a network device first obtains statistical information of a target egress queue within a first time period, where the target egress queue is any target egress queue in the network device. The network device determines an explicit congestion notification (ECN) threshold for the target egress queue within a second time period based on the statistical information of the target egress queue within the first time period, where the second time period is chronologically subsequent to the first time period. When a queue depth of the target egress queue exceeds the ECN threshold within the second time period, the network device sets an ECN mark for a data packet in the target egress queue.

Abstract: This application describes a link bit error-based processing method and apparatus. A network device may report, to a controller, a bit error rate at which an egress port on the network device is configured to send data traffic. In this way, the controller may collect and accumulate bit error rates at which data traffic is sent through all egress ports on a transmission path, to obtain an accumulated bit error rate of the transmission path. In this way, the controller may determine, based on the accumulated bit error rate of the transmission path, whether to switch a service flow on the transmission path to another transmission path. Therefore, the controller may switch a service flow transmitted on a transmission path with an excessively high accumulated bit error rate to another transmission path with a relatively low accumulated bit error rate for transmission.

The UE may identify, from the group index field of the identified DCI message, a group index value that indicates a first group, and the UE may transmit a feedback message that includes at least a codebook that is based on the group index value.
