  • Patent number: 11558879
    Abstract: For efficiently handling network traffic via a fixed access, classification of UL data traffic in a communication device may be accomplished in a reflective mode by detecting identifiers of outgoing uplink data packets which are complementary to identifiers of incoming downlink data packets. The downlink data packets are already assigned to the traffic classes. The outgoing uplink data packets carrying the complementary identifier are assigned to the same traffic class as the incoming downlink data packets. For this purpose, the communication device is provided with a traffic classificator. In the reflective mode, the traffic classificator locally generates uplink packet classification rules by monitoring received downlink data packets.

  • Patent number: 11528112
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured to determine a frequency location of a reduced frequency bandwidth within a full system frequency bandwidth for an uplink transmission. The reduced frequency bandwidth is based on a received MTC physical downlink control channel. The WTRU is configured to determine a frequency location of an uplink resource in a first subframe based on at least one of a subframe number of the first subframe, a transmission repetition number associated with the first subframe, or a coverage enhancement level of the WTRU. The WTRU is configured to send a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission in the uplink resource in the first subframe in a same frequency location in both slots of the first subframe. A format of the PUCCH transmission is limited to a subset of PUCCH formats available for a WTRU operating in the full system frequency bandwidth.
