Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for probabilistic estimation and prevention of muting occurrence in VoLTE. In operation, a system estimates a muting probability associated with a current state of a newly initiated call between calling user equipment (UE) and called UE by computing a muting contribution per interface between the calling UE and the called UE utilizing a muting probability estimation algorithm. Further, the system determines possible corrective actions to be performed specific to the current call state utilizing a correlation algorithm for prevention of muting occurrences.

Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and wireless apparatuses are disclosed for a TXOP duration field disable setting in a HE preamble, such as HE-SIG-A. An apparatus of a wireless device can include processing circuitry configured to decode a HE PPDU received from a second wireless device, the HE PPDU including a first TXOP duration field in a PHY portion of the HE PPDU. The processing circuitry can detect whether the TXOP duration field includes a disable flag based on bit values of the TXOP duration field. The disable flag can indicate absence of duration information in the TXOP duration field. Upon detecting the disable flag, a response HE PPDU can be encoded for transmission to the second wireless device. The response HE PPDU can include a second TXOP duration field with a disable flag within a PHY portion of the response HE PPDU.

Abstract: A wireless device in a wireless communication system is configured to perform measurements on a set of candidate links for supporting a network node in the system to make a decision as to which of the candidate links is to be a target link for a link switch. The wireless device reports (e.g., at the physical layer) measured candidate links one link subset at a time in order of the wireless device's preference for the target link, until the wireless device receives a target indication signal indicating which of the candidate links in the set is to be the target link. Any given link subset reports one or more candidate links which the wireless device has measured for the decision. Responsive to receiving the target indication signal, the wireless device performs the link switch to the indicated target link.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network receives in-situ operations administration and management (iOAM) data regarding a plurality of traffic flows in the network. The iOAM data comprises entropy values for the plurality of traffic flows. The device receives network topology information indicative of network paths available in the network. The device generates a machine learning-based entropy topology model for the network based on the received iOAM data and the received network topology information. The entropy topology model maps path selection predictions for the network paths with entropy values. The device uses the entropy topology model to cause a particular traffic flow to use a particular network path.
