Abstract: A scalable hierarchical low latency communication network architecture is disclosed. This architecture uses a novel multi-node, multi-packet block acknowledgement (ACK) wireless communication method. The method is used in a scalable hierarchical architecture for a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs. The one or more programs comprising instructions to perform the following steps: receive multiple data and control packets at a central hub from multiple nodes; create a single ACK packet for the multiple data and control packets received at the central hub from the multiple nodes; and communicate the single ACK packet that acknowledges reception of the multiple data and control packets to the multiple nodes.

Abstract: A data sending method, a data receiving method, a data transmit end, and a data receive end are provided. The data sending method includes: obtaining a transmission path used for data transmission, where the transmission path currently uses a first physical link group to transmit data; switching, based on a preconfigured link switching policy and transmission information of the transmission path, a physical link used by the transmission path from the first physical link group to a second physical link group; sending a first link switching notification message to a data receive end, where the first link switching notification message includes information indicating that the physical link used by the transmission path is switched from the first physical link group to the second physical link group; and continuing transmitting the data through a transmission path that uses the second physical link group.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling configuration of dual-connectivity service for a user equipment device (UE), where the dual-connectivity service would involve the UE being served concurrently by a first access node over a first connection according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and by a second access node over a second connection according to a second RAT. An example method includes selecting the second access node to be used in the dual-connectivity service of the UE, with the selecting being based cooperatively on (i) a power class of the UE and (ii) a quantity of receive antennas of the second access node. And the example method further includes, based on the selecting, configuring the dual-connectivity service for the UE.

Abstract: A method of enhanced handling of a Forbidden Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) list is proposed. When a UE tries to attach to a PLMN and receives an ATTACH Reject message having no integrity protection, it could be transmitted from a network entity trying to block the PLMN for providing service. Therefore, by introducing a temporary forbidden PLMN list and a timer T3247, UE can avoid adding the PLMN ID to the Forbidden PLMN list and avoid being blocked for network access. Instead, UE is only temporary refrained from selecting the PLMN ID and is able to retry for the network access after T3247 expiry. The temporary list together with T3247 mechanism thus gives UE more opportunity to try with the same PLMN ID at a different time and/or a different UE location, where the malicious blocking is no longer available.

Abstract: Techniques for dropping packets at congested network elements for no drop traffic are described. A network element in communication with a congested network element initiates a copy packet queue and stores a copy of each transmitted no-drop packet sent to the congested element. When the network element receives an indication that the congested element has dropped a no-drop packet, the network element begins retransmission of the dropped packets to the congested element from the copy packet queue, thus providing a lossless network while allowing for dropped packets.

Abstract: A wireless device receives one or more configuration parameters for uplink bandwidth parts (BWPs) of a cell. A first preamble, for a random-access procedure, is transmitted via a first uplink BWP of the uplink BWPs. A random-access response comprising a backoff indicator is received. A backoff window associated with the backoff indicator is started. A second uplink BWP of the uplink BWPs, that is different from the first uplink BWP, is selected for transmission of a second preamble during the backoff window. The wireless device transmits, via the second uplink BWP and based on the selecting, the second preamble for the random-access procedure.

Abstract: A system (11) is configured to maintain a list of devices (1,9) associated with the system, wherein for each first device (1) of the list which uses a second device (9) of the list as a relay to the mobile communication network, the relation between the first device and the second device is recorded in the list and a security endpoint is recorded for the first device. The system is further configured to receive encrypted information from a device, determine from the list whether the device is used by a further device as a relay, forward the encrypted information to a security endpoint associated with the further device upon determining that the device is used by the further device as a relay and the security endpoint is not the system, and decrypt the encrypted information upon determining that the device is not used by a further device as a relay.

Abstract: A node of an LSP may inform the ingress node of the LSP, for example via RSVP signaling, about its temporary unavailability for a certain time. In response, the ingress node can stop using any affected LSP(s) and divert the traffic to other LSPs. This provides a faster mechanism to signal traffic shift then traditional IGP overload which causes considerable churn into the network as all the nodes need to compute the SPF. It is sufficient for ingress node to be aware of this node maintenance and it can use information to divert the traffic to other equal cost multipath (ECMP) LSP(s), or other available LSP(s). If no alternative LSP path exists when the ingress node receives such a message, a new LSP can be built during this time and traffic diverted smoothly (e.g., in a make-before-break manner) before the node goes offline for maintenance.
