Abstract: A high speed but power-efficient electronic communications protocol may comprise dual simplex links, each operating in a differential high-speed mode and each capable of a low-speed signaling mode. When both links operate in high speed mode, signaling is performed in-band, with signals embedded as metadata attached to transmitted packets. When one of the links is put into a low-power mode, the return-path signaling may be performed on the two wires previously used for high-speed transmissions. One wire may be used for flow control or other signaling, while the other wire may be used for a wake command, which may initiate the low-power mode to be elevated to a high-speed mode. Multiple lanes may be organized to operate in parallel for each link, allowing for a very high speed communications protocol that may be easily switched into and out of a low-power state without additional sideband wiring.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques at a user equipment (UE) provide for efficiently falling back to a half-duplex mode from a full-duplex mode when a level of interference is high. In particular, the UE may measure the level of interference at the UE (e.g., caused at least partially by self-interference between transmissions and receptions at the UE), and the UE may fall back to a half-duplex mode if the level of interference is above a threshold. In one example, the UE may transmit channel state information (CSI) reference signals (CSI-RSs) on resources allocated for interference measurements, and the UE may perform measurements on the CSI-RSs to identify a level of interference. In another example, the UE may transmit a data packet on resources allocated for interference measurements, and the UE may decode the data packet to identify a level of interference.

The access network device may learn of the network slice identifier, and when the access network device does not support the network slice, search, in an access network device corresponding to a neighboring cell, for a target second access network device that supports the network slice.
