Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe transmitting data in wireless communications. A set of packets for transmission in a defined sequence can be received where the set of packets includes two or more packets. It can be detected that a packet, of the set of packets, is a prioritized packet type. The packet can be prioritized for transmission ahead of its order in the defined sequence based on the detection of the prioritized packet type. The packet can be transmitted ahead of its order in the defined sequence to an access point.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with wake-on-frame mechanisms are described. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a central processing unit (CPU) that performs routing related processing on packets prior to sending the packets to one or more destination devices and a switch configured to send packets to the CPU. The switch is configured to, in response to receiving a new packet for the CPU, determine whether a wake-on-frame mechanism is enabled. When the wake-on-frame mechanism is enabled, the switch causes an interrupt signal to be sent to the CPU, such that receiving the interrupt signal will cause the CPU to wake up. When the wake-on-frame mechanism is disabled, the switch sends the packet to the CPU.

Abstract: Techniques for contention window size (CWS) adaptation (CWSA) are discussed. One example apparatus can comprise a processor that can receive HARQ messages UEs in response to PDSCH transmissions in one or more reference subframes. The HARQ messages can comprise HARQ-ACK values that denote a HARQ-ACK state for a transport block associated with License Assisted Access (LAA) operation, wherein each of the HARQ-ACK states is one of a DTX state, an ACK state, a NACK state, or an “any” state. The processor can also; determine a metric value for each of the HARQ-ACK states; calculate a CWS adjustment metric based on the determined metric values; increase a CWS to a next higher allowed value when the CWS adjustment metric is greater than or equal to a threshold; and reset the CWS to a minimum allowed value when the CWS adjustment metric is less than the threshold.

Abstract: An improved procedure and associated hardware to allow a satellite to switch antenna coverages according to predefined repetitive sequences and to align switching of the antenna sequence with ground data sequence switching. The principle of synchronisation of the sequence switching is based on the anticipation of the exact time at which change in beam hopping sequence occurs at the satellite, such that a change to a beam hopping sequence can be reflected in ground data sequence switching without losing connectivity between the satellite and ground segment.

Abstract: A location for application processing is selected based on latency measurements associated with a mobile network. Instead of performing application processing at a predetermined location within a network, the application processing for an application is located within the network based on latencies measured within the network as well as other considerations. For instance, the determination of the location within the network can be based on latency measurements, target latency specifications of an application, the availability of computing resources at a location, and the like. A latency aware routing controller selects one or more locations to perform application processing. The locations may include computing resources located at or near the wireless base station (BS), between the base station and other locations within the network, at the core network, at the Internet, and/or at other locations to provide applications with the computing resources to perform the application processing.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein are directed towards using generic control information in a three-party wireless communication system to schedule a data transmission and reception of the data transmission. A scheduler node transmits the generic control information, comprising identification information that identifies a user equipment device as a transmitter node, and scheduling information that schedules a data transmission. For unicast data transmissions, the generic control information further identifies a receiver node, and can schedule transmission of an ACK/NACK from the receiver node corresponding to receiving the data transmission. A control procedure can be configured in a user equipment device by linking a channel configuration dataset to a resource configuration dataset, which in turn is linked to a channel transmit and receive configuration dataset. Reconfiguration is achieved by changing the linking(s) between one or more different available datasets.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for utilizing a CIC value field in signaling information of a communication to provide an identification of the ingress network to an egress or receiving network of a long distance telecommunications network. The system and method provides for the provisioning of a signaling CIC for an ingress trunkgroup or network to a telecommunications network for downstream signaling purposes by overriding a received CIC value with a provisioned CIC value specific to the ingress network. This provisioned CIC value identifies the ingress network to the long distance network to the egress network for use by the egress network.

The server device includes a control unit configured to provide a plurality of lists in which an available frequency and transmission power of the frequency are described for each predetermined range determined on a basis of a predetermined criterion so that the frequency is not set in an overlapped manner in the same predetermined range, to an external device which uses the frequency.

Abstract: A method of managing default QoS rules for PDU session is proposed. A PDU session defines the association between the UE and the data network that provides a PDU connectivity service. Each PDU session is identified by a PDU session ID, and may include multiple QoS flows and QoS rules. There can be more than one QoS rule associated with the same QoS flow. A default QoS rule is required to be sent to the UE for every PDU session establishment and it is associated with a QoS flow. Within a PDU session, there should be one and only one default QoS rule. In one novel aspect, UE behavior and error handling for proper QoS rule management is defined for PDU session establishment and modification procedures to enforce the one and only one default QoS rule policy.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a centralized overlay-network cloud gateway and a set of centralized services in a transit virtual private cloud (VPC) connected to multiple other compute VPCs hosting compute nodes (VMs, containers, etc.) that are part of (belong to) the overlay network. The centralized overlay-network cloud gateway provides connectivity between compute nodes of the overlay network (e.g., a logical network spanning multiple VPCs) and compute nodes in external networks. Some embodiments use the centralized overlay-network cloud gateway to provide transitive routing (e.g., routing through a transit VPC) in the absence of direct peering between source and destination VPCs. The overlay network, of some embodiments, uses the same subnetting and default gateway address for each compute node as the cloud provider network provided by the virtual private cloud provider.
