The respective direction is relative to an orientation (?i) of the second communication device. The respective direction of transmission (di) is a selected direction of transmission (di,?i). The first communication device then initiates transmission of a new radio signal, based on the obtained set of correspondences.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to configuring reference signals to support an interruption of a high-priority transmission to a low-priority transmission are provided. A base station (BS) transmits, to a user equipment (UE), a configuration for determining whether to communicate a first reference signal after a communication of first data is interrupted by a communication of second data having a higher priority than the first data. The BS communicates, with the UE, the first data in a transmission time interval (TTI). The BS communicates, with the UE, the second data in the TTI before the communicating the first data has completed. The BS communicates, with the UE based on the configuration, a first reference signal in the TTI after communicating the second data.

Abstract: A method for a conditional handover (CHO) is described in some of the present embodiments. The method may receive from a source base station (e.g., a gNB or an eNB) one or more CHO commands that each is associated with one or more triggering conditions for a CHO to a target cell associated with a target base station (e.g., a target gNB or a target eNB). The method may continuously evaluate the triggering condition(s) associated with each received (and valid) CHO command. When the method determines that at least one of the triggering conditions has been fulfilled, the method may execute the CHO command that is associated with the triggering condition in order to connect to one or more candidate target cells associated with the CHO command.

The method includes: receiving a packet from a first node, wherein the packet comprises a multicast control message and an access loop identifier; obtaining, according to a multicast Internet Protocol (IP) address in the multicast control message, a multicast Media Access Control (MAC) address; obtaining an identifier of a first port according to the access loop identifier, wherein the first port is an egress port, on the multicast path, of the first port; sending a first forwarding entry to the first node, wherein a destination address of the first forwarding entry is the multicast MAC address and egress port information of the first forwarding entry is the identifier of the first port.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mechanism for maintaining a single lookup table entry for symmetric/bidirectional flows. Multiple recipes are stored for each flow. A recipe is employed to select address information from an incoming packet header based on the packet's direction. The address information and an index are employed to generate a lookup key to find the single lookup table entry with the pertinent switching information. The recipe further indicates action pointers in the lookup table entry that are specific to direction. The action pointers point to an address in an action table that contains instructions for actions that are applied to the packet during switching based on the packet's direction.

Abstract: An origination device (e.g., a base station) dual encodes a first set of data (1) according to a first set of encoding parameters corresponding to channel conditions associated with a first communication link, and (2) according to a second set of encoding parameters corresponding to channel conditions associated with a second communication link. The dual-encoded first set of data is transmitted to a signal forwarding device. The signal forwarding device decodes the dual-encoded first set of data, using decoding parameters that correspond to the second set of encoding parameters, to generate a single-encoded first set of data that is encoded according to the first set of encoding parameters. The signal forwarding device transmits a “single-encoded forwarded signal” to the destination device. The destination device decodes the single-encoded forwarded signal using decoding parameters that correspond to the first set of encoding parameters, which yields the first set of data.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting and correcting uplink-only problems is disclosed. The system comprises one or more of the following modules: uplink problem detection module, maximum permissible limit module, and uplink improvement calculation and actions module. The uplink problem detection module detects uplink-only problems using values of one or more parameters related to bearer performance. For instance, the uplink problem detection module continuously monitors the uplink performance by checking uplink transmission error and when a threshold is crossed, declares an uplink problem. The maximum permissible limit module limits the actions by uplink improvement calculation and actions module so that other parts in the system are not negatively affected. The uplink improvement calculation and actions module determines and performs the actions to improve the uplink transmission error situation detected by the uplink problem detection module.

Abstract: Embodiments of a network User Equipment (nUE), wearable User Equipment (wUE), and methods for sidelink communication are generally described herein. The nUE may transmit a control channel that allocates a subframe as either a downlink subframe or an uplink subframe for a sidelink communication between the nUE and a wearable User Equipment (wUE). When the control channel allocates the subframe as a downlink subframe, the nUE may contend for access to channel resources. The contention may include transmission of a transmitter resources acquisition and sounding (TAS) channel in a physical resource block (PRB) and an attempted detection of a receiver resources acquisition and sounding (RAS) channel from the wUE in the PRB. When the control channel allocates the subframe as an uplink subframe, the wUE may contend for access to the channel resources.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards overcoming a radio link interruption event, for example caused in the mmWave spectrum by a physical blockage between user equipment and a communications network distributed unit. Described is executing an inter-distributed unit beam switch in response to a radio link interruption trigger when no beams are available to support the user equipment from the distributed unit currently serving the user equipment. The inter-distributed unit beam switch may be performed by notifying a flow control process of the radio link interruption, which can switch to a different distributed unit such as selected by beam quality measurements.
