Abstract: A transmitting device generates multiple small packets for a large packet and transmits them to a receiving device. Routing devices forward the multiple small packets to the receiving device. Each of the smaller packets, except the last packet, has a sequence indicator set. As a result, the receiving device is able to determine that each of the smaller packets is part of a larger packet and buffer the smaller packets or their payloads. When the last packet is received, the larger packet is complete and may be processed by the receiving device. The routing devices delay requests from other transmitting devices to transmit data to the receiving device until the last packet is sent to the receiving device. The routing devices may continue to route traffic to the receiving device on all virtual channels other than a virtual channel being used for the large packet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving a reference signal in a wireless communication system. In the method, in order to dynamically switch an uplink (UL) Demodulation-Reference Signal (DM-RS) according to the communication environment, such as CoMP and MU-MIMO, a parameter set for generation of a reference signal sequence is configured to include a Virtual Cell Identifier (VCID) parameter configured by information of a total of 9 bits and a cyclic shift hopping initial value parameter cinitCSH, which is 9-bit information representing one integer value among 510 integer values. Therefore, it may be possible to achieve dynamic transmission or reception of a reference signal and channel estimation through the dynamic transmission or reception of the reference signal even when the communication environment dynamically changes as in a Cooperative Multiple Point transmission and reception (CoMP) scenario.

Abstract: Methods and devices may be provided for aggregating component carriers in the licensed spectrum with at least one component carriers in the licensed exempt spectrum. Control information may be processed in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) while receiving and sending information on a primary component carrier (PCC) and a supplementary component carrier (SuppCC).

A SuppCC subframe of the shared channel on the SuppCC may be processed as per the identified resource assignment information associated with the downlink shared channel on the SuppCC.

Abstract: Latency Based Forwarding (LBF) techniques are presented for the management of the latencies, or delays, of packets forwarded over nodes, such as routers, of a network. In addition to a network header indicating a destination node for receiving the packet, a packet also includes an LBF header indicating the packets accumulated delay since leaving the sender, a maximum latency for the entire journey from the sender to the receiver and a minimum latency for the entire journey from the sender to the receiver. When a packet is received at a node, based on the accumulated delay, the maximum latency, and the minimum latency, the node places the packet in a forwarding queue to manage the delays between the sender and the receiver. The LBF can also indicate a policy for the forwarding node to used when determining the enqueueing of the packet.

Abstract: A mesh network flow control method comprising: allocating a receiving window of a certain size between a parent node and each child node; the child node transmitting a window request to the parent node prior to transmitting a packet; upon receipt of the request, the parent node extracting the sequence number of the request of the child node; comparing the sequence number with a sequence number of the packet last received; calculating the size of an available window and replying to the child node with the size; and the child node transmitting the packet according to the size. Another method includes: a root node broadcasting information concerning a connection state between the root node and a server in a management frame of Wi-Fi, such that through information communication within a network, each node within the network can obtain the information, and then devices within the network transmit packets to the root node, thereby avoiding occupancy of bandwidth by unnecessary packet-transmissions.
