Abstract: Some embodiments include an internet service provider (ISP) system capable of delegating network policy configuration tasks to ISP franchisee accounts. For example, the ISP system can establish, via a backhaul channel, a network tunnel from an access point hosting a local area network (LAN) to a gateway server connected to a wide area network (WAN). The ISP system can authenticate an ISP franchisee account operating a mobile device. The ISP franchisee account can configure, from the mobile device, a network usage policy associated with using the network tunnel, the gateway server, and/or application services available through the gateway server. The ISP system can authenticate a subscriber account operating a subscriber device to connect with the WAN from the LAN. The ISP system can enforce, at the gateway server, the network usage policy when the customer device is using the access point to access the WAN through the gateway server.

Abstract: Integrated circuits with wireless communications circuitry are provided. The wireless communications circuitry may include an input FIFO, an output FIFO, a processing module interposed between the input and output FIFOs, and dynamic power control circuitry that controls the performance of the processing module. The input and output FIFOs may provide fill level information to the processing module. The dynamic power control circuitry may analyze the current fill level information received from the input and output FIFOs and may increase the operating frequency and/or boost the power supply voltage of the processing module in response to detecting that the input FIFO is filling up faster than the output FIFO or may decrease the operating frequency and/or reduce the power supply voltage of the processing module in response to detecting that the output FIFO is filling up faster than the input FIFO.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for wireless communications. Configuration information including a resource start offset is received. Downlink control information (DCI) is received on an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) using at least one of control channel elements (CCEs). The DCI includes a resource offset for a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback. A resource of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is determined based on a first CCE of the CCEs, the resource offset in the DCI, and the resource start offset in the configuration information. A HARQ-ACK signal is transmitted on the PUCCH using the determined resource to a base station.

Abstract: The systems, methods and apparatuses described herein provide an apparatus configured for ensuring proximity of a communication partner. In one aspect, the apparatus may comprise a communication port and a processor. The processor may be configured to send a request to and receive a response from the communication partner via the communication port using modulated signals, measure a time period between sending and receiving using timings of modulated signals' symbols, and receive a secondary value from the communication partner. The secondary value may be verified to include at least a portion of the request and a portion of the response, and may have been sent with authenticating data to authenticate it. The time period may be compared with a predefined threshold calculated based on a predefined maximum allowed distance to the communication partner. In another aspect, an apparatus may be configured to ensure its proximity to a communication partner.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are described that provide for credit based flow control in a network in which a public buffer is supported at a receiver node, where a transmitter node can control the use of the public buffer. In particular, the transmitter node determines a buffer credit value (TCRi) for each virtual lane of the transmitter node. The buffer credit value (TCRi) is negative (e.g., less than 0) in an instance in which a respective virtual lane private buffer is fully used and thus reflects a loan of credits from the public buffer. In addition, the transmitter node knows the needed buffer size per virtual lane for transmitting a packet in advance based on the round trip time (RTT) and maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the packet and is precluded from consuming more space on the public buffer than required to meet RTT.

The apparatus may encode the number of sub-blocks using different code rates and/or different coding schemes. The apparatus may modulate the encoded sub-blocks using different modulation orders. The apparatus transmits the sub-blocks to a receiver.
