Abstract: This application provides a network fault locating method and apparatus in an IP network. In this solution, a router automatically reports status information, and a controller determines, based on the status information, whether a communication path is faulty. If a fault exists, the controller may indicate a router on the communication path to perform fault locating. The fault locating can be completed without waiting for manual intervention, so that operation and maintenance efficiency in the IP network is improved. After completing the fault locating, the router reports location information of a fault point to the controller, and the controller may perform troubleshooting at the fault point, so that the fault can be quickly rectified.

Abstract: A baseline difference is determined between a slave line card time stamp corresponding to a slave line card frame sync signal and a master line card time stamp corresponding to a master line card frame sync signal. The slave line card generates subsequent slave line card time stamps for subsequent slave line card frame sync signals and the master line card generates subsequent master line card time stamps for subsequent master line card frame sync signals. Current differences are determined between subsequent slave line card time stamps and the subsequent master line card time stamps and the current differences are compared to the baseline difference. When a mismatch difference occurs (current difference differs from the baseline difference), the mismatch difference causes a phase-locked loop in the master line card to be adjusted or an offset to be provided to the master line card time of day counter.

Abstract: The method for transmitting control information in a mobile communication system includes: determining a control channel resource for transmitting control information by means of the data channel region; and transmitting the control information using the determined control channel resource. A capacity for control information, which increases for multiple user multiple-input multiple-out (MIMOs) in a heterogeneous network environment, for heterogeneous network interference control using carrier aggregation, for frequent use of a multicast-broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe, and for a CoMP transmission control, may be satisfied. Further, an adaptive resource allocation based on a requested capacity for control information may be enabled, and the efficient utilization of resources may also be enabled.

Abstract: In a first participant in a network—such as an ad hoc wireless network—a facility performs peer regulation of the network. The facility monitors behavior of a second participant in the network that has appointed itself a routing participant for the network. Among the monitored behavior, the facility identifies behavior of the second participant that is inconsistent with its routing participant status. In response to this identifying, the facility sends a message to participants of the network including a third participant indicating that the second participant is no longer a routing participant.

Abstract: In a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, a first station (STA) may transmit first information related to a maximum value of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) index supported by the first STA, and second information related to a time limit related to the HARQ index. The HARQ index may be used for an HARQ operation of the first STA, and the time limit may be used for a maximum storage time of an HARQ buffer related to the HARQ index. The first STA may perform an association with a second STA on the basis of the first information and the second information.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for the granular, interference aware selection of modulation and coding schemes (MCS) per-sub-band, per-stream, and in some examples, per-user. In some examples, channel condition metrics regarding wireless communication conditions, including interference conditions, from a communication node of a wireless access system may be received. Based at least on the received channel condition metrics indicative of interference, a multidimensional interference margin generator may determine a per-sub-band per-stream margin. A modulation and coding scheme may be selected based on the per-sub-band per-stream margin. In some examples, the selected modulation and coding scheme may be transmitted to various modulators/demodulators, encoders/decoders, and/or other communication nodes within the wireless access system. In some examples, a scheduler may select an allocation based at least on the per-sub-band per-stream margin.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for compressing the size of SIDs to be smaller than a complete IPv6 address (or “micro SIDs”), and scaling micro SIDs across a multi-domain environment using micro SID-domain-blocks. Segment routing over IPv6 (SRv6) uses 128-bit IPv6 addresses as SIDs for segment routing. According to this disclosure, multiple SRv6 SIDs may be expressed in a compact format such that a 128-bit IPv6 address, such as the destination address field of the IPv6 header, may store multiple micro SIDs. Further, SID-domain-blocks may be assigned to each domain in a multi-domain network such that micro SIDs may be expressed in the context of a given domain, rather than being shared in the global multi-domain network. In this way, lists of domain-specific SIDs may be fully expressed in the IPv6 destination address of the packet to scale micro SID into large, multi-domain networks.

The controller may be configured to obtain historical RF spectral data over time, position and RF channel, as the first and second radios move relative to one another, determine at least one power null from the historical RF spectral data, and dynamically select an RF channel from among the plurality thereof based upon the at least one power null.

Abstract: Systems and methods to identify a growth classification/categorization for a geographic area that helps a network provider to solve for what types of planning opportunities are available at various area granularities is disclosed. The system computes values for a set of growth criteria for a geographic area. The growth criteria are related to planning, usability, customer experience, sales, population, and so on. Based on the growth-criteria values, the system identifies a classification/categorization for the area. For example, the system classifies an area as an invest area (e.g., requiring engineering action), a grow area (e.g., requiring sales action/being sales ready), a defend area (e.g., requiring engineering and sales actions to continue current trend), or a fix area (e.g., likely requiring both engineering and sales actions to improve current trend). Based on the area classification, the system can then provide actionable insights to drive improvement in network coverage and customer experience.

Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive configuration information for a first set of resources and a second set of resources for a grantless physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. The WTRU may determine data for transmission using the grantless PUSCH transmission. Based on the data, the WTRU may select resources from the first set or the second set for the grantless PUSCH transmission. Further, the WTRU may send the grantless PUSCH transmission including the data using the selected resources. In an example, the sending of the grantless PUSCH transmission may be part of a random access procedure. The random access procedure may be a two-step random access procedure. The random access procedure may be a random access channel (RACH) procedure. The random access procedure may depend upon a double contention pool setting, and the setting may address at least one of a data pool or a control pool.
