Abstract: A network environment includes a communication management resource, a first wireless station, and a second wireless station. The communication management resource initially allocates a first wireless channel to the first wireless station; the first wireless channel is selected from multiple available wireless channels. The communication management resource detects that a second wireless station is a substitute to the first wireless station. For example, the second wireless station is substituted as a replacement to the first wireless station. In response to the detecting that the second wireless station is a substitute to the first wireless station, the communication management resource allocates the first wireless channel to the second wireless station.

Abstract: The present specification discloses a data processing method, apparatus, medium and device. The method includes: receiving a QUIC data packet that is sent by a first device and that includes a CID; parsing the CID and determining a routing address based on a parsing result; and routing the received QUIC data packet to a second device based on the routing address, so the second device processes the QUIC data packet. When a data packet sent by a transmitting end device is received, a routing address of data transmission is determined by processing the received data packet, to quickly establish a data transmission channel between the transmitting end device and a receiving end device. As such, stored context information is not required, and connection errors caused by exceptions such as restarting and scaling in/out on a load balancer will not occur, thereby effectively improving processing efficiency of data transmission by using the QUIC protocol.

Abstract: In a wireless network, a user equipment (UE) may skip an uplink transmission associated with a dynamic uplink grant. In such cases, when the UE skips an uplink transmission that would have been concurrent with a downlink transmission, the UE may perform one or more mode-dependent control operations. For example, because the uplink transmission would result in a full-duplex operation if the UE were to perform the uplink transmission, the UE may reset a timer associated with switching from a full-duplex mode to a half-duplex mode and/or perform one or more mode-dependent control operations in the full-duplex mode. Alternatively, because the UE refrains from performing the uplink transmission that would have resulted in a full-duplex operation, the UE may maintain the timer associated with switching from the full-duplex mode to the half-duplex mode and/or perform the one or more mode-dependent control operations in the half-duplex mode.
