Abstract: A network core software defined networking (SDN) enabled onboarding of microservices in a 6G network is provided to enable a one-time registration of a device with a network. Rather than having a core network facilitates establishing communications channels every time a device attaches or connects to the mobile network, the SDN enabled onboarding system disclosed herein can onboard the device, authenticate the device, register the device with the network, and determine addressing for the device. When the device reconnects to the network, the device has already been onboarded, and so the device does not need to go through these steps again, but can rather immediately start communicating with desired network service.

Abstract: The present invention provides a control information transmission resource determining method in a D2D communication. In this method, a location of a subframe used for a SA transmission is determined in a SA resource pool by a TRP. In the subframe, a frequency domain resource used for the SA transmission occupies a part of symbols or PRBs in the entire subframe, and a location of the frequency domain resource is determined by a central control node assigning way, a randomly selecting way, a resource-hopping way or a mapping way between a time domain resource and a frequency domain resource. According to the method above, data transmission delay can be effectively reduced, data transmission reliability can be ensured, and V2X communication requirements can be achieved by small changes in a current system.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for channel quality estimation in consideration of interference control and coordinated communication in a cellular system. A base station receives an SRS transmitted by a terminal to thus measure received power, and then configures, for the terminal, a CSI process which may measure SINRs for base stations having higher SRS received power. If the terminal feeds back, to the base station, channel quality information for the configured CSI process, the base station determines an SINR and a MCS to be applied to data transmission in consideration of a received CQI and a CoMP transmission scheme, and applies the determined SINR and MCS to thus transmit data.

Abstract: Methods of upgrading a mesh network device reduce the amount of memory required on such devices. A network device may identify a neighbor network device in response to receiving a request to perform an upgrade, and send a message configured to cause the neighbor network device to function as a recovery node. The network device may then perform the upgrade without retaining a backup image in memory. If the neighbor network device determines that the upgrade failed based on messages not received from the mesh network device being upgraded, the neighbor network device may recover the network device being upgraded by providing a file corresponding to the upgrade. The neighbor network device may determine that the upgrade failed if no response is received to a challenge message or if no indication of success is received after a time expires.
