Abstract: A base station that monitors one or more channel conditions of an unlicensed carrier to detect whether there is an interfering signal in the unlicensed carrier. The base station may detect an interfering signal that, for instance, is hidden from and difficult to detect by a WCD that has UL data to send. If the base station detects an interfering signal on the unlicensed carrier, it proceeds with transmitting a UL grant message to the WCD, however, the base station may configure the transmission of the UL grant message to the WCD based on the interfering signal. For instance, the base station may determine, based on the interfering signal, when to transmit the UL grant message, or may determine, based on the interfering signal, UL transmission parameter values to include in the UL grant message, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A novel technique is shown for throttling control traffic in a Software Defined Network (SDN) between a controller and network switches when the controller and/or one or more control channels are congested. In this technique, the controller's processing power and the limited control channel bandwidth are more efficiently managed by drastically cutting down the control traffic during times of congestion.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a service processing method, a related apparatus, and a system. The method includes: UE adds a service type indication of a service initiated by the UE to an RRC connection request and sends the RRC connection request to a base station, and adds the service type indication of the service initiated by the UE to a non-access stratum NAS request and sends the NAS request to a mobility management network element. In this way, when a network side performs congestion control or overload control, the base station may determine, according to the service type indication, that the service initiated by the UE is a voice service, a video service, or a short message service, accept the RRC connection request. Similarly, the mobility management network element may accept, according to the service type indication, the NAS request.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a communication-session (CS) module that monitors the status of a communication session and at least partially controls the status. The CS module provides a party participating in a communication session an indication of whether a status of a microphone the user is employing to participate in an audio and/or video communication session is in a mute (or off) state, or whether the microphone status is in a live (or on) state. Likewise, a CS module may indicate to a user whether a status of a camera that the user is employing to participate in a video communication session is in an off state, or whether the camera status is in an on (or live) state. As such, a CS module provides users reminders of whether or not the microphone and/or camera, is in a live state, a mute state, or is otherwise turned on or off.

Abstract: A method for protecting configuration data from a data bus transceiver operable in a subnetwork mode. The configuration data are provided for comparison with data bus message data arriving via a data bus. A reference checksum for the configuration data is generated and stored, and recurrently checked. In the event of an identified alteration, a wake-up signal and/or a piece of error information is output. During or after writing the configuration data to a configuration register via the data bus or directly before the change to the low-power mode of the electronic control unit, a checksum unit forms a checksum that is stored in a reference register. In the low-power mode of the electronic control unit, the checksum for the configuration is repeatedly recomputed and compared with the checksum stored in the reference register. If the recomputed checksum does not match the stored checksum, a wake-up process is triggered.
