Abstract: At times a UE may have a data transmission that needs to extend beyond a resource grant in an ULRB portion of a slot. The UE may receive resource region reservation information from a base station and determine when to extend an UL transmission from the ULRB portion of a slot into the ULCB portion of the slot based resource region reservation information. The resource region reservation information may indicate ULCB resources which are reserved for PUCCH, PRACH, PUSCH, SRS, or other transmissions. The UE may determine to refrain from extending the data transmission into the ULCB when at least a portion of the data transmission would overlap reserved resources as indicated by the resource region reservation information.

Abstract: Techniques for loop prevention while allowing multipath in a virtual Layer 2 (L2) network are described. In an example, a network interface card (NIC) supports the virtual L2 network. The NIC is configured to receive, via a first port of the NIC, an L2 frame that includes a source media access control (MAC) address and a destination MAC address. Based on a loop prevention rule, the NIC transmits the L2 frame via its ports except the first port. In an additional example, the NIC is further configured to send an L2 frame to a host via the first port of the NIC. The L2 frame can be a bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Upon receiving a BPDU from the host via the first port, the NIC determines that the BPDU is looped back and disables the first port.

The interest message specifies criteria identifying data units from an area of interest, e.g. an intersection, which are to be aggregated and comprises at least one parameter specifying how the data units are requested to be aggregated. A second system (1) is configured to receive the interest message from a sender, e.g. a router (21), determine whether the system will return an aggregation of data units matching the criteria, and return a data message comprising an aggregation of data units matching the criteria to the sender (21) if the processing means have determined that the system will return an aggregation of data units matching the criteria. The data units are aggregated in the data message in dependence on how the data units were requested to be aggregated.

Abstract: A technique of managing communications among multiple modules of a munition includes receiving, by a first module of the munition, a first set of messages from a second module of the munition. The first set of messages is received in a first protocol used for communicating among the modules of the munition over a computer network.

The technique still further includes providing the second set of messages from the interface module to an operational component of the first module, the operational component then responding to the second set of messages for performing a function of the munition.
