Abstract: A system and method to instruct a user equipment (UE) how Uplink Control Information (UCI) on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) should be transmitted with carrier aggregation. A semi-static signaling of a UCI mapping bit (via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter) is used by a base station such as an eNodeB to require the UE to transmit UCI using one of two pre-determined UCI transmission modes. The bit can be decided by the base station, considering, for example, the available bandwidth or quality of different Uplink Component Carriers (UL CCs) associated with the UE. This network-based solution allows the network to either configure a general rule of UCI transmission by the UE or to enforce the UCI transmission on the Uplink Primary cell (UL Pcell). Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

Abstract: A system that enables end-user devices that operate within different enterprise networks to exchange data with one another. In particular, the disclosed system uses unique IP addresses that are dedicated solely to supporting a predefined communication service between enterprise computer networks, in order to identify and route each data packet according to the communications service. As part of the communications service, the data packets are transmitted, for example, from a first local service provider network hosting a first enterprise network, through a participating backbone service provider network on the public Internet and based on deterministic routing, and to a second local service provider network hosting a second enterprise network. In handling the data packets in this way, the disclosed system creates an Internet wide-area-network (WAN): the data packets are transmitted over the Internet and conceivably over a large geographic distance between enterprise networks.

Abstract: Where first and second reference signals for a first and second communication system, respectively, are transmitted, resources that affect a reception apparatus compatible only with the first communication system can be minimized, and the throughput can be prevented from being deteriorated. As resources for a reference signal CSI-RS for LTE-A, last half symbols in a time direction of a resource unit RB/Sub-frame defined in a frequency-time domain are used, and the CSI-RS is allocated in a position up to the last two symbols or in the last symbol, or the like, of a particular RB/Sub-frame and transmitted when a reference signal 4RS for LTE is transmitted to a reception apparatus in addition to transmitting CSI-RS for LTE-A. The reception apparatus receives CSI-RS allocated in the last half symbol of RB/Sub-frame based on CSI-RS allocation information, measures channel quality by using this CSI-RS, and transmits and reports feedback information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may establish a configuration for at least one carrier based on multiple transmission time interval (TTI) lengths. Several TTI lengths may be associated in a TTI group, and aspects of the configuration may be the same for all TTIs having a TTI length in the TTI group.

Aspects of a TTI group configuration may include a common control channel format, resource allocation granularity, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, HARQ timing, soft buffer size, channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration, or an uplink control channel.

Abstract: User Equipment (UE) wirelessly attaches to a data communication network and receives a network address. The UE establishes a media session over the data communication network using the network address. The UE detects source radio signal strength of a source base station and target radio signal strength of a target wireless relay. The UE wirelessly transfers corresponding signal strength data the source base station. The UE wirelessly receives a handover command from the source base station, and in response, the UE wirelessly attaches to the target wireless relay. The UE wirelessly receives a new network address from the target wireless relay. The UE determines if the target wireless relay supports media session mobility, and if not, then the UE re-establishes the media session over the target wireless relay using the new network address.

Abstract: Virtualization software that includes a VDRB (virtual distributed router/bridge) module for performing L3 routing and/or bridging operations is provided. At least some of the VDRBs are configured as VDBs (virtual distributed bridge) for performing bridging operations between different network segments in a distributed manner. The bridging tasks of a network are partitioned among several VDBs of the network based on MAC addresses. MAC addresses of VMs or other types of network nodes belonging to an overlay logical network are partitioned into several shards, each shard of MAC addresses assigned to a VDB in the network. Each VDB assigned a shard of MAC addresses performs bridging when it receives a packet bearing a MAC address belonging to its assigned shard. A VDB does not perform bridging on packets that do not have MAC address that falls within the VDB's shard of MAC addresses.
