Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing allocations and signaling for different types of communications within a wireless communication system. An eNB and/or a UE may be configured to operate within the wireless communication system using two or more different types of communications. The different types of communications may differ, for example, based on round trip time (RTT) between transmission and acknowledgment of receipt of the transmission, a transmission time interval (TTI) for wireless transmissions, and/or duty cycle timing of wireless transmissions. Reserved resources within a system bandwidth may be identified for a first type of communications, and all or a portion of remaining resources within the system bandwidth may be allocated for other communications that may differ from the first type of communications based on, for example, RTT, TTI, and/or duty cycle timing.

Abstract: A power control method for device-to-device communication includes dynamically backing off transmit power value for synchronization signals and discovery messages when the distance between the two devices is less than a pre-determined threshold. The threshold distance may correspond to a distance where the receive power may exceed a pre-determined value. Embodiments may loop the transmit power of synchronization signals between a default transmit power value and backed-off values in consecutive slots of each frame.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a call prompt method. A first interface that shows that a first terminal is in a call with a second terminal is displayed on the first terminal. If a third terminal initiates a call to the first terminal at this moment, a second interface indicating the call initiated by the third terminal is displayed on the first terminal, and a sound is output, where the sound includes a call voice and a prompt tone of the initiated call. If the call initiated by the third terminal to the first terminal is rejected, the call voice is output on the first terminal and the prompt tone stops to be output. Additionally or alternatively, if the third terminal stops initiating the call, the first interface is displayed on the first terminal, and the call voice between the first terminal and the terminal continues to be output.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a network device may be adapted to operate within a virtual private cloud where network address translation (NAT) is performed through virtual machines and each network address translation is handled differently by a different NAT control logic unit. The network device features one or more hardware processors, and a memory that stores at least a plurality of network address translation (NAT) control logic unit and demultiplexer logic. The demuliplexer logic, when executed, receives an incoming message and, based at least in part on information within the incoming message, determines a selected NAT control logic unit to receive at least a portion of the information within the incoming message. The selected NAT control logic unit handles address translation for routing of a message based on the incoming message to a public network.

Abstract: In an apparatus of a communication network first packets of a data flow in a first direction are acquired, each having a first service chain identifier identifying a first chain of services which have been applied to the first packets in the first direction of the data flow. The first service chain identifier represents a classification result of classification functions used for selecting the first chain of services. Based on the first service chain identifier, a packet filter is calculated, which is associated with a second chain of services to be applied to second packets of the data flow in a second direction of the data flow when the second packets enter the communication network in the second direction.

Abstract: A call switching method includes: when a first terminal device detects an input operation that is of initiating a call request to a second terminal device, or when a first terminal device receives a first call request that is initiated by a second terminal device by using a second-type communications network, detecting whether both the first terminal device and the second terminal device are in a first-type communications network; and when the first terminal device detects that both the first terminal device and the second terminal device are in the first-type communications network, initiating a second call request to the second terminal device by using the first-type communications network, or sending first prompt information to the second terminal device.

Abstract: A wireless local area network station (STA) changes a receiver operating mode (ROM) and saves power by influencing when a ROM-conforming access point (AP) transmission takes place. The STA evaluates candidate delay regimes after a negotiation exchange with the STA. The STA then instructs the AP of a selected delay regime which the AP is permitted to use when transmitting data according to the changed ROM. The ROM can involve a change in the system bandwidth demodulated by the STA and/or the number of spatial streams demodulated by the STA. The delay regime can allow the AP to transmit with little or no delay based on the changed ROM, or the delay regime may require a fixed time delay before the AP transmits according to the changed ROM.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for utilizing training sequences on a replica lane are described. A transmitter is coupled to a receiver via a communication channel with a plurality of lanes. One of the lanes is a replica lane used for tracking the drift in the optimal sampling point due to temperature variations, power supply variations, or other factors. While data is sent on the data lanes, test patterns are sent on the replica lane to determine if the optimal sampling point for the replica lane has drifted since a previous test. If the optimal sampling point has drifted for the replica lane, adjustments are made to the sampling point of the replica lane and to the sampling points of the data lanes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for feeding back hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information. In the method provided by the present disclosure, an evolved Node B (eNB) transmits Downlink Assignment (DL-GRANT) within a time-frequency bundling window, which corresponds to an uplink subframe feeding back HARQ-ACK. A UE receives DL-GRANT scheduling downlink HARQ transmission in the time-frequency bundling window corresponding to respective uplink subframe for feeding back HARQ-ACK in turn, obtains a DL DAI in the DL-GRANT, and determines a mapping value of each DL DAI; then, maps HARQ-ACK bits of the time-frequency bundling window corresponding to respective uplink subframe for feeding back the HARQ-ACK to corresponding bits of a feedback bit sequence according to the mapping value of the DL DAI; and transmits the HARQ-ACK on an available uplink carrier. The present disclosure also provides a method for feeding back HARQ-ACK information.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to perform mission critical communications with an eNodeB is disclosed. The UE can transmit a physical random access channel (PRACH) signal to the eNodeB that indicates a mission critical communication to be performed between the UE and the eNodeB. The PRACH signal can be transmitted in accordance with a first transmission time interval (TTI). The UE can receive a random access response (RAR) message from the eNodeB that includes a timing advance (TA) and a resource allocation for the mission critical communication. The RAR message can be transmitted from the eNodeB using a second TTI. The UE can perform the mission critical communication with the eNodeB in an uplink using the TA and the resource allocation indicated in the RAR message. The mission critical communication can be performed using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and in accordance with the second TTI.

Abstract: A method of control Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) reporting and discovery using AT commands is proposed. In communications networks, the MTU of a communication protocol of a layer is the size (in bytes or octets) of the largest protocol data unit that the layer can pass onwards. In an IP network, IP packets may be fragmented if the supported MTU size is smaller than the packet length. In accordance with one novel aspect, the packet data protocol (PDP) context of a packet data network (PDN) connection comprises MTU information. By introducing MTU information to the PDP contexts, TE can use AT commands to query MTU parameters from the network and thereby avoid fragmentation. TE can also use AT command to set MTU parameters and thereby control MTU discovery.
