Abstract: Aspects directed towards steering of roaming (SoR) are disclosed. In one example, a communication from a public land mobile network (PLMN) is received by a user equipment (UE) in which the communication indicates an acceptance of a UE registration with the PLMN. This example further includes performing a determination of whether an SoR indicator associated with a home PLMN (HPLMN) is embedded within the communication.

Abstract: Sensor nodes each equipped with a directional antenna configured to form a set of beams of predefined directions, with respect to a global reference direction, during beam cycles timed according to a global time reference form a sensor network. An electronic compass determines the global reference direction and a Global-Positioning-System (GPS) receiver provides the global time reference. The directional antenna is implemented as a phased-array antenna. During each beam period within a beam cycle, a phased-array controller determines a phase vector as a function of the geometrical arrangement of antenna elements and angular displacement of a reference direction of a node from the global reference direction. The phase vector is supplied to phase shifters coupled to the antenna elements to form a beam of a specified direction. During each beam period, all sensor nodes form beams of a same direction thus guaranteeing inter-nodal communication among neighboring nodes.

Abstract: It is disclosed a method for performing a performance measurement on a packet flow transmitted along a path through a packet switched communication network. Two or more measurement points are implemented on the path. Each measurement point calculates a sampling signature for each received packet by applying a hash function to a mask of bits of the packet. Then, it selects a number of measurement samples amongst the received packets, the measurement samples being selected as those packets whose sampling signatures comprise a portion of length S equal to a predefined sampling value. While performing the selection, the measurement point counts the number of selected measurement samples and retroactively adjusts the length based on this number. Then, the measurement point provides measurement parameters relating to the selected measurement samples.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for identifying transitory WiFi users and providing a differential treatment of such users in terms of delaying associating steps between user stations (STAs) and an access point (AP). A transitory user refers to a user or user device that connects to a WiFi AP but does not run applications that require association or assigning IP addresses, such as short-term or temporary connected WiFi users that are on the move. In an embodiment, a STA connects to an AP. Upon the STA indicating its transitory behavior to the AP or the AP detecting criteria of transitory behavior of the STA, the STA obtains a delay time value from the AP. The STA then delays sending an association request to the AP, or alternatively, the AP delays handling the association request from the STA in accordance with the delay time value.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for a Fifth Generation New Radio (5G NR) enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). These techniques include a user device transmitting a request to a base station for a UE-specific PDCCH format. In aspects, the user device transmits an uplink Radio Resource Control (RRC) message or a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE). The base station can then grant the user device a particular PDCCH format, based on the request, by using downlink RRC messages or a MAC CE. This allows the user device to identify the UE-specific PDCCH format and an appropriate aggregation level with which to decode messages on the PDCCH. These techniques reduce the amount of power consumed when decoding the messages on PDCCH in comparison to conventional techniques that rely on blind decoding.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel architecture for capturing contextual attributes on host computers that execute one or more machines and providing the captured contextual attributes to middlebox service engines executing at the edge of a physical datacenter. In some embodiments, the middlebox service engines run in an edge host (e.g., an NSX Edge) that provides routing services and connectivity to external networks (e.g., networks external to an NSX-T deployment). Some embodiments execute a context header insertion processor that receives contextual attributes relating to network events and/or process events on the machines collected using a guest-introspection (GI) agent on each machine. In some embodiments, the context header insertion processor uses these contextual attributes to generate a header including data regarding the contextual attributes (a “context header”) that is used to encapsulate a data message that is processed by the SFE.
