The method includes subsequently transmitting a message to request a resumed RRC connection to a subsequently selected base station, wherein the subsequently selected base station is selected in accordance with a cell (re)selection procedure for the terminal device performed while in the RRC suspended mode of operation.

Abstract: A system includes servers that are connected in series, and a top of rack (TOR) switch having a first TOR switch port and a second TOR switch port that are connected to a first end and a second end, respectively, of the series connected servers. A multi chassis link aggregation group may be established on the first TOR switch port and the second TOR switch port to transform the series connected servers into a single logical channel. A highest media access control address is determined from the servers to represent the single logical channel.

Abstract: Techniques described herein use a wakeup signal to indicate to a user equipment (UE) whether an upcoming control channel signal resource includes information relevant to the UE. In this way, the UE can wake up to perform complex control channel signal processing only when the control channel includes signals relevant to the UE, thereby conserving battery power and resources of the UE. Such techniques are particularly suited to MTC UEs, NB-IoT UEs, and/or the like, which may communicate with a network only occasionally, and which may be located in remote locations where changing or recharging a battery is difficult.

Abstract: In a routing table of a first system, a routing table entry for a first application is created by a controller application executing in a controller system, the first application intended for relocation, a second application in the set of applications not intended for relocation. At the second system responsive to commencing execution of the first application in the second system at a second time, a mapping entry is created by a controller application, the mapping entry causing the forwarded packet to be delivered to the first application at the second system. Responsive to a notification that the first application is executing in the second system, the routing table entry of the first system is modified by the controller application, the modified entry causing a packet addressed to the first application to be forwarded from the first system to the second system.

Abstract: Method for topology determination in a mobile communications site, wherein the mobile communications site has n nodes each having m ports. In ‘determining’ (S1), the number of existing nodes is determined. In ‘designating’, one of these nodes is designated as the master node and the others as slave nodes. In ‘selecting’, a slave node is selected as a test slave node and the communication of the other slave nodes is prevented. In ‘testing’, a test is performed to determine via which ports of the master node and via which ports of the test slave node a communication is possible. Thereafter, ‘selecting’ and ‘testing’ are repeated for the other slave nodes, wherein in the method step ‘selecting’, a different slave node is selected as the test slave node in each case. In the method step ‘generating’, a connection topology is then generated for the master node.

Abstract: A wireless communication network is self-provisioned using coordination of data plane behavior to steer stations to preferred access points. To do so, a policy concerning traffic flow for the wireless communication network is received. Data plane traffic flow is monitored at each of the plurality of access points distributed around the wireless communication network. At some point, it may be determined the data plane traffic flow at a first access point from needs to be reduced based on the data plane traffic flow relative to the policy. In response, a station is steered to a preferred access point using OpenFlow rules to affect data plane routing decisions at the access point (e.g., drop, delay, or reprioritize packets).
