Abstract: A method for distributing transmission path information, including: distributing, by a first routing bridge which stores a MAC address of a host on a local link, transmission path information of the host on the local link to a remote routing bridge of a non-local link, the transmission path information including the MAC address of the host on the local link and identification information of a second routing bridge, so that the remote routing bridge learns the transmission path information from the first routing bridge. The present application further provides corresponding routing bridges. The present application may enable the remote routing bridge to timely learn the transmission path information of the host under the condition that a data packet sent by the host is not received, so as to send data to the host according to a new transmission path.
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for facilitating remote participance in a community. A method may include causing an anchor terminal located at a first location to use a proximity-based wireless communication technology to participate in an ad hoc community formed at least in part by the anchor terminal and one or more further terminals at the first location using the proximity-based wireless communication technology to communicate with each other. The method may further include causing the anchor terminal to maintain a connection to a structured network, thereby enabling a remote terminal to participate in the community. The method may additionally include, in an instance in which the remote terminal participates in the community, causing the anchor terminal to serve as a gateway between the terminals participating in the community at the first location and the remote terminal. A corresponding apparatus is also provided.

Abstract: HARQ parameters (e.g., maximum HARQ retransmission values) may be adapted. Cross-layer control and/or logical channel control may be used to select a maximum number of HARQ retransmissions, for example based on packet priority and/or QCI values. Respective priorities of video packets may be used to select one of a plurality of logical channels associated with a video application that may be established at a source wireless hop and/or a destination wireless hop. The logical channels have different HARQ characteristics. Different maximum HARQ retransmission values may be determined for select logical channels, for example such that packets of different priorities may be transmitted over different logical channels. One or more of the channels may be associated with one or more transmission queues that may have different priority designations. Video packets may be reordered (e.g., with respect to transmission order) within the transmission queues, for example in accordance with respective HARQ parameters.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns movements, such as handovers, of user equipments (UEs) 120a-e from one radio cell 130a to another radio cell 130b. Disclosed herein are methods as well radio network nodes 110a, 110b. A radio network node 110a, 110b may, for example, select the most suitable UE(s) 20a-e to move from a source radio cell 130a to a target radio cell 130b in case the traffic load in the source radio cell 130a is below or equal to the traffic load of the target radio cell 130b. Hereby it is made possible to improve the resource utilization.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed in a transmitting node (12) for transmitting at least one burst of energy to one or more receiving nodes (10,13) in a wireless communication network (1). The transmitting node (12) comprises a number of transmit antennas being more than one and wherein the at least one burst of energy carries a payload for one or more receiving nodes (10,13). The transmitting node (12) determines a shift, for one or more transmit antennas, in one or more signal characteristics of a burst of energy of the at least one burst of energy. The shift indicates one or more additional information bits, in addition to the payload, for a first receiving node (10). The transmitting node further transmits, over the one or more transmit antennas, the burst of energy of the at least one burst of energy with the shift in the signal characteristic carrying the payload to one or more receiving nodes (10,13) in the wireless communication network (1).

Abstract: A network interface controller includes a host interface, which is configured to be coupled to a host processor having a host memory. A network interface is configured to receive data packets from a network, each data packet including a header, which includes header fields, and a payload including data. Packet processing circuitry is configured to process one or more of the header fields and at least a part of the data and to select, responsively at least to the one or more of the header fields, a location in the host memory. The circuitry writes the data to the selected location and upon determining that the processed data satisfies a predefined criterion, asserts an interrupt on the host processor so as to cause the host processor to read the data from the selected location in the host memory.
