Abstract: A method and an orchestration server for packet data network service slicing over a network infrastructure for real-time IP services are provided. The method comprises providing an orchestration server that has knowledge of a whole connectivity status of a network infrastructure and that is configured to manage service nodes. The server receives a session request for a real-time IP service from a UE device located in a given region and requests to one or more service nodes of said given region whether it has/they have network resources. Each of the one or more service nodes compute a QoS measurement thereof in terms of KPIs including latency, jitter and bandwidth, the QoS measurement being computed by a software module that is implemented on a virtual machine deployed on the service node; and tag a plurality of interfaces. The orchestration server selects a given service node in view of said QoS measurement.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for reference signal sequence detection by a user equipment (UE). The reference signal sequence may indicate one or more control channel candidates that are to be monitored for control information transmissions to the UE. A base station may transmit control information with a set of parameters for two or more reference signal sequences that are each associated different subsets of decoding candidates within a search space occasion. The UE may monitor the search space occasion and detect a first reference signal sequence and may identify a first subset of the two or more subsets of control channel candidate locations for a blind decoding procedure based on the detection of the first reference signal sequence.

Abstract: A message transmission method is provided. User equipment may receive a power saving message from a network device, where the power saving message carries indication information of a short message, and the short message includes at least one of the following: a public warning system notification or system information modification information. Then, the user equipment obtains the short message from the power saving message. In this way, when the user equipment is in a connected state, the user equipment may obtain the short message by using the power saving message, for example, a PoSS, instead of by monitoring a paging PDCCH; and when the UE is in a sleep state, the UE is not woken up to monitor the paging PDCCH. This reduces power consumption of the user equipment in the connected state.
