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: Embodiments herein provide methods and systems for achieving D2D communications through unlicensed spectrum. The D2D-U operations can be achieved through multiple approaches. In the first approach, the devices can communicate with each other without any involvement of network. In the second approach, the network provides partial assistance to the devices such as allocating time and frequency resources for D2D-U communication. In the third approach, the network completely controls D2D-U operations between the devices. The embodiments include allocating time and frequency resources for transmission of PSBCH, PSDCH, PSCCH, and PSSCH. The allocations of the time and frequency resources meet regulatory requirements of minimum bandwidth utilization for unlicensed band operation. The embodiments include distributing power in narrow frequency sub-bands of D2D-U spectrum, in order to maximize transmission range of D2D-U communications.

Abstract: A method for receiving data, by an end-STA from a root AP, may comprise receiving, from a relay AP, a first beacon frame comprising a relay information element. The relay information element may include a field which indicates whether a root AP BSSID field indicating a BSSID of the root AP is included in the beacon frame. The end-STA may transmit an association request to the relay AP and may receive an association response from the relay AP if the relay AP is allowed by the root AP to associate with the end-STA. The end-STA may receive, from the relay AP, traffic indication map (TIM) indications, of which at least one of the TIM indications may be for the end-STA. The one of the TIM indications may indicate that the data is available for the end-STA. The end-STA may then receive the data from the relay AP.

Abstract: A network edge device may be placed at a location to participate in a VLAN using a specific VLAN ID without expressly programming the network edge device to use that specific VLAN ID. The network edge device is connected to a network to receive ingressing frames from the network and to send egressing frames to the network. The network edge device copies a specific VLAN ID from an ingressing VLAN message into memory and subsequently reads the specific VLAN ID from the memory for use in tagging frames egressing from the network edge device with the specific VLAN ID so that the egressing frames are VLAN conformant. The network edge device may communicate with non-edge devices at the same location as the network edge device.
