Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a packet for a flow from a first application in a first workload to a second application in a second workload. The packet includes an inner header that includes layer 4 information for the first application. The method determines if a setting indicates an outer source port in an outer header should be generated using layer 4 information from the inner header. The setting is based on an analysis of packet types in the flow to determine if fragmented packets are sent. When the setting indicates the outer source port in the outer header should be generated using layer 4 information from the inner header, the method generates the outer source port using the layer 4 information for the first application from the inner header. The packet is encapsulated using the outer header, wherein the outer header includes the outer source port.

Abstract: A transmission beam change method is disclosed for a wireless communication transmitter adapted to transmit an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) signal using a transmission beam of a plurality of transmission beams available at the wireless communication transmitter. The method includes temporarily adapting an output power during a transmission beam change from one transmission beam to another transmission beam. In some embodiments, the transmission beam change is performed during a cyclic prefix (CP) of an OFDM symbol and the temporary adaptation is applied to only a part of the CP. Temporarily adapting the output power includes decreasing the output power to initiate the temporary adaptation and increasing the output power to terminate the temporary adaptation. In some embodiments, the temporary adaptation is performed during all transmission beam changes or only when an occurrence frequency of transmission beam changes is higher than a threshold value.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to transmitting and receiving a group wake-up signal (WUS) in conjunction with an ungrouped WUS. A base station may group one or more UEs in a UE group, while other UEs may not be assigned to a UE group. The configuration of WUS resources and WUS sequences for grouped UEs and other UEs is a challenge. The base station may transmit, to one or more UEs in the UE group, a resource allocation of a group WUS resource within a set of WUS resources associated with a paging occasion that is assigned to the one or more UEs in the UE group. A UE, after receiving the resource allocation, may determine a location of the group WUS resource within the set of WUS resources. The UE may monitor for a group WUS at the determined location in the resource allocation of the group WUS resource.

Abstract: In order to facilitate communication in a shared-license-access band of frequencies, an electronic device (such as an electronic device that implements a spectrum allocation service) allocates, to a radio node in a set of radio nodes, at least a first channel and a second channel in unallocated channels in the shared-license-access band of frequencies. Note that the first channel and the second channel are noncontiguous in the shared-license-access band of frequencies. Then, the electronic device monitors for transmissions by a higher-priority user than the set of radio nodes in the shared-license-access band of frequencies. When the transmissions are detected in the first channel, the electronic device instructs the radio node to discontinue use of the first channel, where allocation of at least the second channel allows uninterrupted communication by the radio node in the shared-license-access band of frequencies.
