Abstract: Systems and processes may be implemented to evaluate current network conditions with respect to a telecommunication device and to dynamically toggle the device between a Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) communication mode and a Carrier Aggregation (CA) communication mode. The device may use either the MIMO mode or the CA mode to exchange data with a network operator while remaining locked onto a primary base station. Thus, rather than being statically assigned based on a fixed priority to use a particular communication mode for data exchanges with the primary base station, for example assigning all MIMO 4×4 capable devices to use MIMO 4×4 throughout its time within a primary cell, a device may be dynamically assigned and re-assigned to use a plurality of different communication modes at different times based on which mode will achieve optimal performance.

Abstract: A process capable of facilitating network communication using forwarders or vforwarders interconnected via an overlay network is disclosed. The process, in one aspect, is able to receive a packet stream or network traffic from a customer premise equipment (“CPE”) using a point-to-point (“PTP”) connection via the overlay network.

Upon receipt of a processed packet stream in response to the packet stream from the service component, the processed packet stream is forwarded to another forwarder via a hop-to-hop (“HTH”) link through the overlay network in accordance with the processed packet stream.

Abstract: In wireless communications for multi-users, an access point may generate a trigger frame, which may include a trigger indication. The trigger indication may indicate whether a second trigger frame will be transmitted during a time interval. The trigger indication may use a single bit. The trigger frame may also include resource allocation for one or more stations. When the access point transmits the trigger frame, the station(s) may transmit an uplink frame(s) in response to the trigger frame. The access point may transmit a second trigger frame in the time interval. In response to the second trigger frame, the station(s) may transmit additional uplink frame(s) to the access point. The station(s) may save the resource allocation included in the trigger frame and utilize the same resource allocation for the uplink frame(s) and the additional uplink frame(s). Other methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: To transmit data packets over a shared data path, data packets of a first message and a second message are received and stored, respectively, in first and second queues. First and second data packets are then extracted from, respectively, the first and second messages. First and second priority values are calculated, respectively, for the first and second data packets and are associated thereto. If the first priority value is determined to be lower than the second priority value, then the first packet is transmitted over the shared data path. If the second priority value is determined to be lower than the first priority value, then the second packet is transmitted over the shared data path.
