The method comprises transmitting, to the one or more receiver nodes, using another antenna port and the same carrier frequency, a delayed version of the reference signal sequence. The delay is non-zero and less than a symbol duration of the communication system.

Abstract: An enterprise device identity proxy between an SMF and an Enterprise's device profile store supports N7 protocol for enterprise policy delivery between a central management service (CMS) and an enterprise policy service. In particular, when a user equipment (UE) requests a data service, the enterprise device identity proxy receives AAA transactions from the SMF running the enterprise policy service over a secondary authentication interface, stores the results in a data store, and uses business rules set forth by the CMS to transform Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) Attribute Value Pairs (AVPs) into a valid N7 response to the SMF. The enterprise device identity proxy enables an enterprise to treat a device with cellular connectivity using the same rules that would apply to other access/connection types without the complexity and cost of deploying a 3GPP policy service to support N7 protocol for policy delivery.

Abstract: Malformed VLAN packets can be detected by programming suitable rules in a TCAM in the packet processing pipeline. In some deployments, for example, the TCAM rule(s) can match on the parsed EtherType metadata. More specifically, the match can be based on the EtherType metadata being set to a value equal to known VLAN TPIDs, such as 0x8100, 0x88a8, rather than being set to a standard EtherType.

Abstract: A proxy sensing-based channel access procedure is discussed for shared spectrum networks. Within a given network, a distribution of proxy nodes may be deployed around a network operating area. A control node, which controls the proxy sensing mode for the network, may configure the active network nodes to conduct communications via the shared communication spectrum without first performing any type of channel sensing on the shared communication spectrum. The control node may then also configured the proxy nodes to perform channel sensing on the shared spectrum for the entire network. Using the reported channel sense results from the proxy nodes, the control node may determine whether detected interference is occasional or persistent, and whether to take some action to modify the communications or operations of the network.

Abstract: A radio communication system includes a radio access network (1) and a radio terminal (2). The radio access network (1) includes a first base station (11) that manages a first cell (110) and a second base station (12) that manages a second cell (120).

The radio access network (1) is configured to transmit, to the radio terminal (2), first control information that relates to an access stratum and is necessary for the dual connectivity involving the bearer split. It is thus possible to provide, for example, a control procedure or signalling necessary for starting dual connectivity involving a bearer split.
