Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to assisting forwarding of multicast traffic over Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) from a multicast source to a host multi-homed to multiple provider edge (PE) devices. Embodiments are based on the inclusion of an Ethernet Segment Identification (ESI) to EVPN type-6 routes advertised by PE devices which received a multicast Join message. Other PE devices receiving such routes are able to determine whether they belong to the ES identified by the ESI and to determine whether they are designated forwarders (DFs) for the host. Furthermore, PE devices which are the DFs are configured to re-originate the EVPN type-6 routes, i.e. re-send the advertisements, indicating themselves as DFs. This ensures that a remote PE device associated with the multicast source will also send multicast traffic to such DF PE devices, which, in turn, would allow the multicast traffic to successfully reach the host.

Abstract: Maintaining time alignment with multiple carriers is contemplated. A group of uplink carriers (UL CC sets) that operate with a single Timing Advance (TA) may be determined, and a TA value may be applied to a specific UL CC set. A wireless transmit/receive unit's (WTRU) capability of using multiple TAs may define a group index of a few bits for each UL CC set. A TA Command received in a Random Access Response message may be used to apply the TA value to each UL carrier of the UL CC set. The WTRU may determine which UL CC set the TA value applies to based on which DL carrier the command was transmitted from. The WTRU may determine which UL CC set the TA value applies to based on the Group Index being explicitly provided in the command. The WTRU may release multi-CC configurations upon Time Alignment Timer (TAT) expiry.

Abstract: Wireless communications are described. A central unit control plane (CU-CP) node of a base station may activate and/or deactivate packet duplication based on status information from self-monitoring, from a distributed unit (DU), from a wireless device, and/or from a central unit user plane (CU-UP) node. The CU-UP node and/or the DU may activate and/or deactivate packet duplication based on status information from self-monitoring, from each other, from the wireless device, and/or from the CU-CP node. The CU-UP node and/or the DU, after activating and/or deactivating packet duplication, may report the activation and/or deactivation to the CU-CP node.

The access point further determines, based on at least the first information and the second information, a pattern indicating a recurring signal quality that the station associates with each RU. The access point uses the pattern to allocate one of the RUs for communicating with the station.
