Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure discloses a terminal including a transmission and reception unit and at least one processor.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for determining a priority ranking for channel state information (CSI) reports based at least in part on a reliability parameter, a latency parameter, or both of resources allocated to a user equipment (UE). In some wireless communications systems, ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC) services may be interspersed with enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services. The UE may perform a CSI report prioritization procedure to account for reliability parameters, latency parameters or both. In some cases, CSI reporting for resources associated URLLC services may receive higher priority than CSI reporting for eMBB services. The UE may be configured to determine reliability parameters and/or latency parameters based on signaling received from the network or from determining changes to one or more configurations of the UE. In some cases, the priority ranking of the CSI report may be based at least in part on a slot set identifier.

Abstract: An authentication method, network switch, and network device are provided. In one example, a method is described that includes receiving a first signal indicative of a data lane being activated and configured to carry data to or within the network switch, receiving a second signal indicative of an authentication lane being established in the network switch or a device connected to the network switch, where the authentication lane is different from the data lane, and enabling data transmission across the data lane only in response to receiving the second signal indicative of the authentication lane being established.

Abstract: Some aspects described herein relate to transmitting, by a first node to a second node, indications of one or more groups of component carriers (CCs) that share an analog receiver beamformer or analog transmitter beamformer at the first node. Some aspects additionally or alternatively relate to receiving, by the first node from the second node, indications of one or more groups of CCs that share an analog receiver beamformer or analog transmitter beamformer at the second node. The nodes may beamform antenna resources for communications based on the indications.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and devices (e.g., routers) that add in-network services to a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network. A method can include a router of the MPLS network receiving a packet and modifying the packet by adding one or more MPLS extension headers, adding a header of the extension header(s), and adding an indication within an MPLS label stack that one or more MPLS extension headers have been added to the packet. The method can also include the router forwarding the packet as modified to another router of the MPLS network. In certain embodiments, an extension header label (EHL) within a label value field of a label stack entry indicates that one or more MPLS extension headers have been added to the packet. In other embodiments, a forward equivalent class (FEC) indicates that one or more MPLS extension headers follow the MPLS label stack.

Abstract: An available network address is acquired from a network address resource pool associated with the application system according to determination that a workload at a set of network ports of the application system meets a predetermined extension condition, the network address resource pool comprising network addresses configured to be assigned to the application system. A network port available at the application system is selected. A communication channel for accessing the application system is established based on the network address and the network port. According to determination that an access request for accessing the application system is received from an access device, the access request is responded to by using the communication channel. The communication channel provided by the application system to the access device can be dynamically adjusted in real time according to a workload related to data access of the application system.

Abstract: A transmitter device of a bus-based communication system may add one or more padding bits, associated with providing traffic flow confidentiality for communication of a payload on a communication bus, either to the payload on a transport layer, or to one or more first frames on a data link layer. The one or more first frames may include a transport layer payload associated with the payload. The transmitter device may transmit one or more second frames, including a data link layer payload associated with the one or more first frames, on the communication bus. A receiver device of the bus-based communication system may receive the one or more second frames on the communication bus. The receiver device may process the one or more padding bits from either the one or more first frames on the data link layer, or from the payload on the transport layer.
