Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless communication network may support mission critical (MiCr) communications and mobile broadband (MBB) communications with hybrid multiplexing (e.g., time division multiplexing (TDM) and frequency division multiplexing (FDM)). A base station may identify a first set of resources allocated for MiCr communications and a second set of resources allocated for MBB communications. The first and second set of resources may be multiplexed in the frequency domain, and the base station may transmit MiCr information over the first set of resources under normal data traffic conditions. As data traffic or other conditions associated with MiCr communications change, the base station may schedule MiCr transmissions on the second set of resources allocated for MBB communications, by puncturing the second set of resources for the MiCr communications.

Abstract: The cross-layer time synchronization method is a cross-layer synchronization approach that utilizes a timing recovery module at a physical layer (PHY), derives the information about the clock frequency offset from the timestamp-embedded message, and exploits it for synchronization at the higher layers. This approach either results in minimizing the cost of synchronization resulting in energy efficiency or improving the accuracy of the clock parameters' estimates by exploiting the PHY information. Some applications of this cross-layer technique include, but are not limited to, energy efficient wireless networks, cooperative networks or distributed MIMO networks.

The xSS may be omnidirectional, each having a same xPSS and different xSSS or xS-SCH or a different xPSS and same xSSS or xS-SCH or beamformed, each having different xPSSs and xSSSs or xS-SCHs or a same xPSS and different xSSS or xS-SCH.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing deadlock avoidance in a leaf-spine network are described. In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring traffic of a plurality of packets at a leaf switch in a network having a leaf-spine topology. The method includes marking a packet with an identifier associated with an inbound uplink port of the leaf switch when the packet is received from one of a first spine switch and a second spine switch. The method includes detecting a valley routing condition upon determining that the packet marked with the identifier is being routed to an outbound uplink port of the leaf switch to be transmitted to the first spine switch or the second spine switch. Upon detecting the valley routing condition, the method includes dropping packets associated with a no-drop class of service when a packet buffer of the inbound uplink port reaches a predetermined threshold.
