Abstract: Provided is a channel detection notification method when a LTE system works at an unauthorized frequency band, a system and a base station. The channel detection notification method includes the follows. A primary cell base station receives RRM measuring results of multiple base stations at the unauthorized frequency band reported by a terminal; according to the RRM measuring results of the multiple base stations, a secondary cell base station is selected for the terminal; if it is determined that downlink traffic reaches a set first traffic threshold value, the secondary cell base station is informed to conduct downlink channel detection at the unauthorized frequency band; and if it is determined that uplink traffic reaches a set second traffic threshold value, the secondary cell base station and/or the terminal is informed to conduct uplink channel detection at the unauthorized frequency band.

Abstract: A packet broker deployed in a visibility fabric may intelligently assign identifiers to data packets that are routed through sequences of one or more network tools for monitoring and/or security purposes. More specifically, the packet broker may apply packet-matching criteria to incoming data packets to determine a predetermined sequence of network tools through which the data packets are to be guided. For example, the packet broker may guide a data packet through a predetermined sequence of network tools by translating an internal identifier added to the data packet to an external identifier before transmission to each of the network tools, and translating the external identifier to a different internal identifier each time the data packet is received from each of the network tools.

Abstract: A method and apparatus schedule uplink transmissions with reduced latency. A number of symbols used for UL transmissions in a TTI can be compared to a threshold value of symbols. An indication can be sent from a device on a sidelink channel. The indication can indicate the location of symbols used for an UL transmission when the UL transmission occupies a number of symbols less than the threshold value. Both a sidelink transmission and the UL transmission can be transmitted in the TTI when the UL transmission occupies the number of symbols less than the threshold value. Only the UL transmission can be transmitted in the TTI when the UL signal occupies a number of symbols that are at least the threshold value.

Abstract: Embodiments pertain to methods and devices for multi-device link aggregation. Embodiments may implement shared packet data network (PDN) connections to enable an application on a host UE to both create a first connection to a PDN gateway and to create a second connection to the PDN via a second UE. In one example embodiment, a UE includes flow routing circuitry configured to communicate data traffic via multiple different communication paths as part of the shared PDN connection to a PDN gateway. A cellular modem of the UE is configured to communicate a first portion of the data traffic with the PDN gateway as part of the shared PDN connection. Connectivity circuitry of the UE separate from the cellular modem is configured to communicate a second portion of the data traffic with the PDN gateway via a second UE, wherein the second portion of the data traffic is different than the first portion of the data traffic.

Abstract: A Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Software-Defined Network (SDN) communicates across network boundaries with other NFV SDNs to support a data communication service. An NFV orchestrator transfers forwarding graphs for service, NFV, and SDN Network-to-Network Interfaces (NNIs) to an SDN controller. The SDN controller converts the forwarding graphs into forwarding instructions and transfers the forwarding instructions for the service, NFV, and SDN NNIs to an NFV SDN switching system. The NFV orchestrator uses the NFV NNI to transfer its forwarding graphs over the NFV SDN switching system across the network boundary to another NFV orchestrator. The SDN controller uses the SDN NNI to transfer its forwarding instructions over the NFV SDN switching system across the network boundary to another SDN controller. The NFV SDN switching system uses the service NNI to transfer user data across the network boundary to another NFV SDN switching system.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method for cross-channel scheduling of high efficiency (HE) multi-user (MU) frame transmission. In some embodiments, channel information and client station information may be obtained for data transmission. An MU frame containing a data field of a first type and two data fields of a second type may be configured to carry scheduling information relating to one or more channels for the data transmission. It may be determined that a current scheduling setting of the two data fields of the second type leads to unbalanced payload between the one or more channels. The two data fields of the second type may then be adjusted for a balanced channel mapping, and the data field of the first type may be adjusted to reflect the balanced channel mapping. Data based on the adjusted data field of the first type and the adjusted two data fields of the second type may be transmitted via the one or more channels.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided contention based uplink data transmission. In one novel aspect, the contention-based uplink data channel is used to transmit the data directly to the network. In one embodiment, the UE selects an UL data channel from a set of preconfigured uplink contention based data channels and sends the UL data transmission on the selected UL data channel. In one embodiment, the contention based UL data has a narrow bandwidth with a long CP such that the TA is not needed from the base station. In another embodiment, a small signaling payload is included in the CB UL data transmission if the size of the data contents cannot be fit in the UL data channel. In one embodiment, the signaling payload is the BSR. The UE, subsequently, receives an UL grant and sends the remaining data contents using the allocated data channel in the UL grant.

Abstract: A method for communication includes establishing, using an end-to-end reliable transport context, a channel for exchange of data packets over a network between a first network interface controller (NIC) of a first computing node on the network and a second NIC of a second computing node on the network. The first NIC accepts first and second work items for execution on behalf of different, first and second sender processes, respectively, that are running on the first computing node. The first and second work items are executed by transmitting over the network from the first NIC to the second NIC, using the end-to-end reliable transport context, first and second messages directed to different, first and second receiver process running on the second computing node, using the same end-to-end reliable transport context. The second message is sent before receiving from the second NIC any acknowledgment of the first message.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an uplink resource sharing method, base station and terminal, wherein, the uplink resource sharing method comprises: performing the LBT on a granted subframe, allocated to a terminal by a base station, by the terminal; transmitting data if the LBT is finished on the granted subframe; and performing the LBT on another subframe if the LBT is not finished on the granted subframe. The present invention solves the problem of resource waste caused by the fact that the terminal cannot finish LBT in a frame allocated to the frame by a base station, and reduces a probability of increase of an uplink grant number caused by failing of uplink scheduling.
