Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for initiating, at a first wireless audio device, a handover interval including one or more extended synchronous connection-oriented (eSCO) windows, buffering a set of one or more audio (e.g., microphone) data packets during the handover interval, discarding at least a portion of the set of one or more audio data packets during the handover interval, receiving a handover indication from a second wireless audio device during an extended retransmission portion of a first eSCO window of the handover interval, and transmitting one or more audio data packets during a second eSCO window that is subsequent to the handover interval.

Abstract: A first communication device receives an aggregated data unit from a second communication device. The aggregated data unit aggregates (i) one or more sets of multiple data units, each set of multiple data units to be acknowledged by a respective block acknowledgement and (ii) one or more single data units, each single data unit to be acknowledged by a respective single acknowledgement. The first communication device generates a block acknowledgment frame that includes (i) block acknowledgement information to acknowledge the one or more sets of multiple data units, and (ii) single acknowledgment information to acknowledge the one or more single data units, where the block acknowledgement frame omits an indication that the block acknowledgement frame includes the single acknowledgement information. The first communication device causes the block acknowledgement frame to be transmitted to the second communication device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for reporting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE). The method includes identifying two interference measurement resources, if the UE is configured with two CSI subframe sets by a base station (BS); obtaining CSI based on an interference measurement resource within a subframe set; and reporting the obtained CSI associated with the subframe set to the BS.

Abstract: In a Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) system, a user equipment (UE) can be configured to transmit signals with multiple access (MA) signatures. If a base station configures multiple MA signatures to a UE, the UE can select one or more MA signatures, then transmit signals in parallel, serial, or in hybrid ways. Due to the flexibility and complexity of the UE selecting MA signatures without an explicit configuration from the base station, additional control overhead is provided to support parallel HARQ processing. In addition, a new DCI format is disclosed that supports multi-branch NOMA transmission, which allows multiple ACK/NACKs within a DCI. Further, using the techniques disclosed herein, a base station can explicitly indicate ACK-NACKs without being assisted by a HARQ ID field.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques allow for transmitting a signal stream from a sender to a receiver in an environment including multiple senders and receivers. The technique for the sender decomposes a data stream from the sender into multiple substreams, encodes a substream by a codeword, further superimposes multiple codewords to form a signal stream in an asynchronous manner, and transmits the signal stream to the receiver. A codeword can span over multiple blocks. The receiver receives a first codeword stream from a first sender, receives a second codeword stream from a second sender, the two codeword streams may be received at the same time as one signal, and decodes the first codeword stream and second codeword stream over a sliding window of multiple blocks.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a data processing apparatus, a data processing method, and a program capable of achieving reduction in costs of a reception device that receives a GSE packet. A GSE-Lite packet construction section constructs GSE-Lite packet including GSE-Lite signaling, which is signaling for identifying whether data is the GSE-Lite packet in a data link layer of an open systems interconnection (OSI) reference model, by using, as a target, only a protocol data unit (PDU) whose maximum size is limited to a predetermined limit size of 4096 bytes or less, where the GSE-Lite packet is a generic stream encapsulation (GSE) packet having the PDU placed in a data field. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a case of transmitting the GSE packet and a case of receiving the GSE packet.

Abstract: A method and device for processing a packet are provided in this disclosure. According to an example of the method, an HTTPS packet is received from a user host, and a non-online user session entry matching the HTTPs packet is searched for according to a source IP address and a destination IP address of the HTTPS packet. In case that the non-online user session entry is found, a token is obtained from a first token bucket if determining that a user session corresponding to the non-online user session entry has no token, where the number of tokens in the first token bucket is set based on processing capability of a CPU of the access gateway device. When the token is successfully obtained, the HTTPS packet is sent to the CPU for processing. When the token has failed to be obtained, the HTTPS packet is abandoned.

Abstract: A monitoring device/module monitors a plurality of nodes in a data center network, and determines one or more latency distributions of response times for messages exchanged between pairs of nodes of the plurality of nodes. The network monitoring device determines a network topology, including one or more communication links interconnecting nodes of the plurality of nodes, consistent with the one or more latency distributions. The network monitoring device also determines a representative response time for each communication link based on the one or more latency distributions, and compares a current response time a message exchanged between one pair of nodes to the representative response time for the communication link interconnecting the one pair of nodes. The network monitoring device identifies a network anomaly when the current response time deviates from the representative response time for the communication link interconnecting the one pair of nodes by a threshold amount.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a process for general-purpose ring buffer handling in a network controller. Specifically, general purpose ring buffers are used in software queue on both the host domain and the network controller to carry out user-defined protocols. The protocols define the relationship of the ring buffers in the host domain and the network controller domain (e.g. how data is moved and processed). The protocols minimize interruptions to the network controller. Furthermore, the implementation of ring buffers in the network controller domain also provides additional resources to the host domain for carrying out the user-defined protocols.
