The uplink data transmission method includes: receiving resource indication information transmitted by a base station; the resource indication information indicating availability of using the semi-persistent resources at one or more TTIs or subframes by the first UE; determining a transmission resource from the semi-persistent resources according to the resource indication information when uplink data is needed to be transmitted; and transmitting the uplink data by using the transmission resource. Hence, not only latency of the uplink data may be reduced outstandingly, but also the semi-persistent resources may be allocated to other UEs with no waste of semi-persistent resources as much as possible, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency and transmission latency performance of the UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide a short data, low latency service using a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) network. A network device receives, in a core network, an attach request from an end device and detect whether a packet size range for data transmissions from the end device is within a configured size threshold. The network device directs, when the packet size is within the configured size threshold, routing of the data transmissions via a control plane function of an edge network to a local instance of an application server in the edge network. The network device directs, when the packet size is over the configured size threshold, routing of the data transmissions via a user plane function of the edge network to a local instance of an application server in the edge network.

Abstract: In a wireless communication network that implements the RRC Resume procedure, an eNB sends to a radio network device, previously connected, given a Resume ID, a paging message or Random Access Response message including an RRC Resume directive. The RRC Resume directive comprises at least an indication whether or not the radio network device should perform an RRC Resume procedure. If RRC Resume directive indicates the radio network device should not perform an RRC Resume procedure, the radio network device performs an RRC Connection procedure. If the RRC Resume directive indicates the radio network device should perform an RRC Resume procedure, it may include additional information to optimize or otherwise assist the RRC Resume procedure. In this manner, RRC Resume signaling is avoided when the eNB knows that it will not be successful, such as if a prior RRC connection context is not available or readily retrievable, or is invalid.

The terminal feeds back the third channel information to a base station. Some channel information is selected and fed back by means of a feedback factor.

Abstract: The present application relates to a method for detecting and determining a failure probability (pA) of a radio network. The method is characterized in that devices of the radio network cyclically transmit operating parameters to a central computer wherein each transmitted operating parameter comprises an operating value of the respective device and a detection time point (t) of the operating value. All transmitted parameters and values can be viewed at any time by accessing the central computer. The central computer cyclically stores the operating values of all operating parameters detected within a predefined time interval (T) as the respective operating constellation and checks the radio network for a failure (A). The central computer cyclically creates a model based on the stored operating constellations and failures (A), which assigns a failure probability (pA) to each possible operating constellation.
