Abstract: Systems and methods include steps of determining a state of a network based on telemetry data; determining a value of a reward associated with the state; determining an action to take on the network to bring the network to a next state that is expected to have a better than or equal to value of the reward; and causing the action to be implemented in the network. The steps can also include continuing the determining steps and the causing step.

Abstract: A technique for performing or providing random access, RA, to a radio access network using an unlicensed channel (400) is described. As to a method aspect of the technique, a first listen-before-talk (LBT) operation on the unlicensed channel is performed. The first LBT operation indicates that the channel is occupied at a beginning (412) of a RA resource (410) for transmitting a RA message signal (304). A second LBT operation on the unlicensed channel (400) indicates that the channel (400) is idle within a part (414) of the RA resource (410) for transmitting the RA message signal (304). The RA message signal (304) is transmitted in response to the second LBT operation.

Abstract: An occupant detection system for an interior cabin area of a vehicle includes one or more signal conversion devices including conversion circuitry and a wireless control module including a multi-band transceiver having two or more transceivers. The wireless control module executes instructions to continuously send, by a first transceiver, signals on a first frequency band. The wireless control module executes instructions to receive, by a second transceiver, signals on a second frequency band from a signal conversion device. The wireless control module compares original training symbols from the signals on the first frequency band with training symbols from the signals on the second frequency band to determine a change in value of in one or more channel state information (CSI) parameters, and determines one or more occupants are present within the interior cabin area of the vehicle based on the change in one or more CSI parameters.

Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for efficiently buffering data units within a network device. A traffic manager or other network device component receives Transport Data Units (“TDUs”), which are sub-portions of Protocol Data Units (“PDUs”). Rather than buffer an entire TDU together, the component divides the TDU into multiple Storage Data Units (“SDUs”) that can fit in SDU buffer entries within physical memory banks. A TDU-to-SDU Mapping (“TSM”) memory stores TSM lists that indicate which SDU entries store SDUs for a given TDU. Physical memory banks in which the SDUs are stored may be grouped together into logical SDU banks that are accessed together as if a single bank. The TSM memory may include a number of distinct TSM banks, with each logical SDU bank having a corresponding TSM bank. Techniques for maintaining inter-packet and intra-packet linking data compatible with such buffers are also disclosed.

A base station may configure and/or transmit a beam failure recovery medium access control control element (BFR MAC CE) to a wireless device to configure particular cells to use particular assigned candidate beams from a pool of shared candidate beams during beam failure recovery operations. The BFR MAC CE may provide orthogonality in beams that may be designated for use by active cells out of a shared pool of beams that may not be orthogonal across all potentially available cells.

Abstract: A network management system can include multiple network interfaces. For example, the network management system can include a first network interface that can receive a stream of network packets associated with users. The network management system can include a second network interface for transmitting the received stream of network packets. The network management system can shape the stream of network packets before transmission. The network management system can assign the network packets into classes. The classes may have a configured hierarchical relationship. The classes may also have an operational hierarchy based on bandwidth usage during operation. The network management system can shape the stream of network packets based on operational hierarchy of classes and configured hierarchical relationship.

The apparatus may stop the second timer when the first timer expires. The apparatus may stop the second timer at the activation of a type 2 configured grant.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for monitoring and verifying latency on TSN-configured networks. The disclosure describes a novel and inventive time capture location protocol that supplements existing TSN protocols. This supplemental TSN protocol details a way to capture the time at which a message arrives at various points in a TSN-configured network. The captured times allow for monitoring and verification of TSN based features and their underlying systems, including run-time diagnostics to detect problems and delays.

Abstract: A method for execution by a processor of a host having an external interface for connection to at least one other network element of a packet-based data network, the host storing a routing table and implementing a container connected to a bridge, the container being addressable by an internal address on a bridge network associated with the bridge. The method includes obtaining an indication of a request for the container to join a multicast group. In response to the obtaining, a request is sent via the external interface for the host to join the multicast group. The routing table may be modified so as to make the bridge a next hop for future packets obtained from the external interface and destined for the multicast group. The routing table may also be modified so as to make the external interface a next hop for future packets that are obtained from the bridge, whose source address is the internal address of the container and that are destined for the multicast group.

Abstract: A method, base station (BS), user equipment (UE), apparatus, and computer program product for wireless communication are provided. An aggressor BS may cause a remote interference condition for a victim BS, and the victim BS may transmit a reference signal to the aggressor BS to enable a remote interference management (RIM) operation to be performed. However, the aggressor BS may be unable to identify the victim BS based at least in part on the reference signal, and may fail to transmit a reference signal as a response. Further, when the aggressor BS does transmit a reference signal, the victim BS may be unable to identify the aggressor BS. This may reduce an effectiveness of RIM operations. In some aspects, BSs may transmit reciprocal reference signals including identification information to enable effective RIM operations.

Abstract: A client device in a wireless network accesses a queue comprising Transmission Control Protocol Acknowledgement (TCP ACK) packets. At least some packets include packet descriptors with a flow identifier indicating a corresponding TCP flow, and a TCP ACK Generation Count. The device inspects a packet descriptor of a first TCP ACK packet, and identifies a first flow identifier and a first TCP ACK Generation Count. The device accesses entries in a data structure that each includes a first field and a second field respectively storing a flow identifier and a TCP ACK Generation Count. The device determines that a condition is satisfied, comprising that an entry in the data structure includes a flow identifier and a TCP ACK Generation Count matching the first flow identifier and the first TCP ACK Generation Count, respectively. In response to the determination, the device marks the first TCP ACK packet to be dropped.
