Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selecting a beam mode and/or beam for communicating with one or more devices are described. The beam mode selection maybe and sometimes is between a broad beam mode of operation and a narrow beam mode of operation with respect to a particular device. Communication with one or more device may happen at a given time with the preferred beam mode and/or choice for an individual device sometimes being replaced with a beam mode and/or beam choice which is preferable from an overall system perspective, e.g., because it allows data transmission and/QoS requirements to multiple devices to be supported better than would be achieved if the preferred beam mode and/or beam selection made with respect to an individual device was used. The beam mode and/or beam selected for traffic data communication sometimes is different from the beam mode and/or beam used for communicating control channel information.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station used for wireless communication. The UE first receives a first signaling and a second radio signal, and then processes a first radio signal by a first operation. The first signaling is correlated to a first synchronization sequence. The first signaling is used for determining at least one of {first signature sequence, second synchronization sequence}. The first signature sequence is used for generating the first radio signal. The receiving timing of the second radio signal is used for determining the transmitting timing of the first radio signal. The second radio signal is associated with the second synchronization sequence. The first synchronization sequence differs from the second synchronization sequence. The first operation is transmitting, or the first operation is receiving. According to the present disclosure, both system performance and transmission efficiency are improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for narrow-band communication. In some aspects, a base station determines a quantity of resource elements to allocate to a user device for wireless communication based on a state of the user device. The base station selects, from a resource block, resource elements for the user device that include the determined quantity of resource elements and a portion of subcarriers of the resource block. The base station then communicates, to the user device, an identification of the selected resource elements that includes respective frequencies and time locations of the selected resource elements within the resource block.

Abstract: Some embodiments establish for an entity a virtual network over several public clouds of several public cloud providers and/or in several regions. In some embodiments, the virtual network is an overlay network that spans across several public clouds to interconnect one or more private networks (e.g., networks within branches, divisions, departments of the entity or their associated datacenters), mobile users, and SaaS (Software as a Service) provider machines, and other web applications of the entity. The virtual network in some embodiments can be configured to optimize the routing of the entity's data messages to their destinations for best end-to-end performance, reliability and security, while trying to minimize the routing of this traffic through the Internet. Also, the virtual network in some embodiments can be configured to optimize the layer 4 processing of the data message flows passing through the network.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, devices and systems for generating accurate timestamps for wireless communications signals that can be used to correct the clocks of base stations for wireless communications systems. A radio signal timestamping unit (RSTU) receives a wireless signal including timing information broadcast by a base station. The RSTU includes a local clock that is in communication with a high-precision time source and provides high-accuracy timing information to one or more base stations to maintain accurate clock synchronization among the plurality of base stations. The timing synchronization information can be determined at least in part based on the propagation delay of the wireless signals received at the RSTU.

Abstract: The present application discloses a long-distance transmission method for an Ethernet switch including a network switching module, an MCU module and a dial code module. The MCU module is connected to the network switching module and the dial code module. The dial code module is configured for providing two configuration inputs for a normal mode and a long-distance mode for user equipment. The MCU module is configured for monitoring a configuration input state of the dial code module in real time. When detecting that the dial code module is in the configuration input for the normal mode, the MCU module configures a network port of the network switching module to be in a self-negotiation mode.

Abstract: A user equipment starts a first timer in response to detecting a physical layer problem with a radio link between the user equipment and a node of a cellular network. Responsive to detecting a handover measurement event, the user equipment also starts a second timer and sends a measurement report to the node. The starting of the first and second timers causes the first and second timers to simultaneously elapse. Responsive to one of the simultaneously elapsing timers expiring, the user equipment sends a radio link failure report, to the node, indicating which of the simultaneously elapsing timers expired.

Abstract: A method implemented by a station (STA) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) to disregard a Network Allocation Vector (NAV) maintained by the STA. The method includes receiving a first Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) from an Access Point (AP), where the first PPDU elicits an immediate response from the STA, determining whether the NAV maintained by the STA was previously set using a duration indicated in a second PPDU that originated from a same Basic Service Set (BSS) as a BSS that the STA is associated with, and transmitting a third PPDU to the AP as an immediate response to the first PPDU without regard for the NAV maintained by the STA in response to a determination that the NAV maintained by the STA was previously set using the duration indicated in the second PPDU that originated from the BSS that the STA is associated with.

Abstract: A second device that is in communication with a first device receives transmissions of the first device and detects a SILENCE period status of the first device, which corresponds to a status wherein the first device has no speech samples to be transmitted towards the second apparatus. The second device determines the type of the received transmissions, counts the number of received transmissions of a first type, and times a time interval between the last received transmission of the first type and the last received transmission of a second determined type. At reception of a transmission of the first type, the second device detects whether the first device is in the SILENCE period status on an evaluation of the counted number of transmissions of the first type and the time interval of the last received transmission of the first type and the last received transmission of the second type.
