Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for managing code block interleaving and de-interleaving in wireless communication systems. A transmitter detects one or more conditions related to transmissions to be made from the transmitter and decides, based on the detection, to disable an interleaver while processing the transmissions, the interleaver used to spread code blocks over available resources. A receiver detects one or more conditions relating to the transmissions from the transmitter and determines, based on the detection, whether an interleaver was used at the transmitter while processing the transmissions. The receiver decides whether or not to de-interleave code blocks of the received transmission based on the determination.

Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to reporting power headroom of an apparatus such as a user equipment (UE). For an apparatus that uses beamforming, the power headroom associated with the beam the apparatus is using for wireless communication (e.g., with a base station) may be lower than the power headroom associated with another beam that the apparatus could use for the wireless communication. The disclosure relates in some aspects to using one beam for wireless communication and using the power headroom for another beam for a power headroom report. In this way, the apparatus may always report its full transmit power capability.

The wireless relay exchanges a first portion of the user data with an internet over a wireless communication network. The wireless relay exchanges a second portion of the user data with the internet over a Local Internet Protocol Access (LIPA) network. The wireless relay tracks the exchanged user data by media type and network type. The wireless relay transfers network usage data to a network server. The network usage data indicates first amounts of the user data by the media type that were exchanged with the internet over the wireless communication network. The network usage data indicates second amounts of the user data by the media type that were exchanged with the internet over the LIPA network.

Abstract: A technique for identity governance (IG) data exchange includes receiving, by a first adapter, an identity governance message from a first identity governance resource for transmission of the identity governance message to a second identity governance resource. The first adapter analyzes the message and, based on the analysis, selects a routing policy to apply to the message. Based on the routing policy, the adapter determines a select input queue from a plurality of input queues to receive the message and writes the message to the select input queue. The message is then routed from the select input queue to an output queue, and then a second adapter transfers the message from the output queue to the second identity governance resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for upgrading wireless network devices, such as access points (APs). When a first AP needs an upgrade, a network controller of the first AP may identify and select a neighbor AP. The radio(s) of the neighbor AP can be split into multiple logical radios, at least one of which includes a backup virtual AP (VAP). The backup VAP can support client devices originally supported by the first AP, allowing those client devices to roam to the neighbor AP while the first AP is upgrading, and without needing to re-associate with the neighbor AP. From the client device perspective, it appears as though they are still being supported by the first AP. Upon upgrading the first AP, the client devices can roam back to the first AP (without needing to re-associate with the first AP). No downtime is experienced, and no RF holes are generated.

Abstract: A controller may create pseudo-slices to provide differentiated levels of service and/or execution of services at different edge locations within an Evolved Packet Core (“EPC”) network based on existing identifiers that are used to configure control plane and/or user plane function of the network. Each pseudo-slice may allow User Equipment (“UE”) to directly exchange user plane traffic with remote nodes in the core network for latency insensitive services, or with local nodes at the closer edge locations for low latency services. The different classes of service provided by the controller may be based on an Access Point Name (“APN”), Quality-of-Service Class Identifier (“QCI”), Service Provider Identifier (“SPID”), Allocation and Retention Priority (“ARP”), and/or other request or profile identifiers. The controller may also create pseudo-slices to leverage Fifth Generation (“5G”) connectivity when exchanging the user plane traffic in an EPC network that supports 5G Non-Standalone Access (“NSA”).

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for the UE to minimize the need to expend resources in conducting signal measurements for SCell by limiting the number of beams that may be scanned and reported back to the network. For example, in instances when the UE has been configured with an active transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state by the network, the UE may be configured to communicate on a limited set of beams (e.g., one beam for transmission (Tx) and another for receiver (Rx)). As such, the UE, during the periodic measurements, may limit the signal measurements to a limited set of beams from all available beams in order to conserve resources based on a determination that the UE is configured with TCI state.

Abstract: A communication unit and discoverable unit communicate according to a protocol in which unit addresses are not of a predetermined length. The communication unit sends a discovery request to the discoverable unit. The discoverable unit receives the discovery request and generates a discovery response. The discovery response comprises an address field of length unknown to the communication unit, populated with an address of the discoverable unit. The discovery response also comprises a flag following the address field. The discoverable unit sends the discovery response to the communication unit. The communication unit receives the discovery response and determines the address field length by counting the number of bits prior to the flag.
