Abstract: Wireless devices may perform modified carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) techniques in order to increase reliability while maintaining a reasonable latency for communications. The wireless devices may perform listen-before-talk (LBT) techniques using an adaptive transmission threshold (e.g., an adaptive CSMA threshold). The transmission threshold may be compared to a measured signal strength magnitude to determine whether the frequency channel is quiet enough for transmission of a packet. The transmission threshold may be initially set to equal a minimum value. The wireless device may increase the transmission threshold after each instance of LBT failure to allow the wireless device to get progressively more likely to transmit the packet each time LBT fails.

Abstract: A key requirement for 5G and 6G networking is reliability. Message faults are inevitable, and therefore procedures are needed to identify each fault location in a message and, if possible, to rectify it. Disclosed herein are artificial intelligence AI models and procedures for mitigating faults in wireless messages by (a) evaluating the signal quality of each message element according to waveform features and modulation deviations, (b) evaluating the fault probability of each message element by seeking correlations, which may be subtle, among the various waveform measurements including polarization and frequency offset, and (c) correcting the faults according to the message type, apparent format, intent or meaning, typical previous messages of a similar type, correlations of bit patterns and symbol sequences, error-detection codes if present, and other content-based indicators uncovered during model development.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, a first wireless node (e.g., an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node) may receive, from a parent base station, system information that is indicative of two random access procedure configurations. The first random access procedure configuration may be for a two-step random access procedure and the second random access procedure configuration may be different from the first random access procedure configuration (for example, an IAB-specific, a user equipment (UE)-specific, or a four-step random access procedure). The first wireless node may determine to use the first random access procedure configuration (e.g., for establishing a wireless backhaul connection with the parent base station) and may perform the two-step random access procedure with the parent base station accordingly.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to support transmitting a network coded combined message to a second wireless device that may have missed at least one sidelink message included in another network coded combined message. A first wireless device may identify that the sidelink messages are configured for network coding based on information associated with the sidelink messages. Control information associated with the network coded combined message may indicate that the network coded message is a network coded combined retransmission of the sidelink messages, and may further include information identifying the sidelink messages and devices that transmitted the sidelink messages. The first wireless device may combine the sidelink messages into the network coded combined message and may transmit the control information and the associated network coded combined sidelink message to the second wireless device, which may support decoding of one or more missed sidelink messages.

Abstract: A process includes a port of a bridge providing a reference clock signal to a first end of an interconnect extending between the first port and a network interface controller. The reference clock signal propagates over the interconnect to provide, at a second end of the interconnect, a delayed reference clock signal at the network interface controller. Pursuant to the process, the bridge senses a timing of the delayed reference clock signal. The process includes communicating management traffic between a network interface of a baseboard management controller and the network interface controller via the interconnect. The communication of the management traffic includes the port, responsive to the sensing of the timing of the delayed reference clock signal, synchronizing communication of data with the first end of the interconnect to the delayed reference clock signal.

Abstract: A communication system (500) has a plurality of communication apparatuses (100). A management verification unit (110) verifies whether or not a communication apparatus (100) is a network management master. A grandmaster verification unit (120) verifies whether or not the communication apparatus (100) is a grandmaster. When the communication apparatus (100) is the network management master and the grandmaster, a setting unit (130) sets in an apparatus priority (21) a threshold (23) indicating that a priority is higher than a priority of a current grandmaster. When the communication apparatus (100) is the network management master and not the grandmaster, the setting unit (130) transmits a network setting message that includes the threshold (23) to be set for a priority of another communication apparatus that is the grandmaster.

Abstract: High-frequency communications in 5G and especially 6G will require precise synchronization of user devices with the base station, including periodically setting the user device clock time and clock rate to mitigate oscillator drift. The base station can assist user devices by periodically providing a timing signal containing a mid-symbol timestamp point, which is a signal that includes an abrupt change in phase or amplitude centered in the symbol-time. A receiver can analyze the timing signal and determine precisely the time of arrival of the timestamp point, and correct the receiver's clock to ensure that uplink messages will then arrive at the base station synchronized with the base station's resource grid. In addition, the base station can provide two timing signals in which the mid-symbol timestamp points are separated by a predetermined separation, thereby assisting the user devices in adjusting their clock rates.

Abstract: A first timing error of a network device is determined based at least in part on a first received network message from a timing synchronization source. At a first instance, it is determined whether the first timing error exceeds a threshold. In response to a determination at the first instance that the first timing error exceeds the threshold, a clock of the network device is corrected based at least in part on the first received network message. A second timing error of the network device is determined based at least in part on a second received network message from the timing synchronization source. At a second instance, it is determined whether the second timing error exceeds the threshold. In response to a determination at the second instance that the second timing error does not exceed the threshold, the clock of the network device is allowed to function without correction.
