  • Patent number: 11425714
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may transmit or otherwise indicate a semi-static slot format configuration and a dynamic slot format configuration to a user equipment (UE). The UE may determine a slot format configuration based on the received semi-static and dynamic slot format configurations. In some cases, the UE may replace certain resources of the semi-static slot format configuration with resources from the dynamic slot format configuration depending on a certain embodiment. Additionally or alternatively, the base station may transmit an anchor slot configuration to the UE, which may indicate which resources of the semi-static slot format configuration can be overridden or replaced by the dynamic slot format configuration.

  • Patent number: 11349719
    Abstract: This application discloses a method and an apparatus for adjusting a bandwidth of a transmission channel in flexible Ethernet. When the bandwidth of the transmission channel needs to be increased, bandwidths of all nodes are successively increased based on a direction reverse to a flow direction of service data, and when the bandwidth of the transmission channel needs to be decreased, bandwidths of all nodes are successively decreased based on the flow direction of the service data. In this way, a probability of a loss of service data transmitted from upstream to downstream is reduced in a process of adjusting the bandwidth of the transmission channel, and this improves reliability of service data transmission.
