Abstract: A technique may improve LDP-IGP synchronization in a MPLS network when an interface of a router coupled to a communications link along a shortest path between a source router and a destination router becomes newly active. Specifically, an IGP adjacency may be held down over the newly active link while a LDP adjacency is established over the link. The router may inject a temporary, non-redistributable route having a large administrative weight into its routing table utilizing addresses learned during establishment of the LDP adjacency. The injected route ensures that there is a reachable route to a peer router so that LDP may converge. After LDP has converged and all needed label bindings have been distributed in the MPLS network utilizing the injected route, IGP executing on the router may advertise a normal cost metric for the link associated with the newly active interface, and IGP convergence may be completed.

Abstract: In a base station (100), when the number of layers employed is 1 and the employed antenna port and the antenna port used for transmitting the allocation control signal are the same, a transmission controller (102) sets a first data resource region inside a first resource region, in a resource block group (RBG), that can be used for the control channel or the data channel. When the number of layers employed is 1 and the employed antenna port and the antenna port used for transmitting the allocation control signal are different, a transmission controller (102) sets a second data resource region inside the first resource region in the RBG. The second data resource region is larger than the first data resource region.

Upon receiving an indication at the first node that a transmitted cell having a given sequence number was not properly received at the second node, the stored cells are retransmitted from the buffer starting from the cell with the given sequence number.

Abstract: Systems and methods for handling of an uplink transmission collision with an ACK/NACK signal are provided. The scheduled uplink transmission is refrained due to the collision. Subsequent non-adaptive retransmission for the scheduled uplink transmission may be refrained by delivering an ACK for the scheduled uplink transmission to high layers. Alternatively, subsequent non-adaptive retransmission for the scheduled uplink transmission may be refrained by setting the HARQ feedback for the scheduled transmission to ACK. In some implementations, a subsequent non-adaptive retransmission for the scheduled uplink transmission may be transmitted. If a subsequent non-adaptive retransmission is to be transmitted, the HARQ redundancy version for the subsequent non-adaptive retransmission is refrained from incrementing from the original redundancy version for the scheduled uplink transmission.
