Abstract: Some embodiments provide a forwarding element that parses a packet to selectively extract a set of header field values for a flow key. The forwarding element then uses the flow key to find a matching flow to process the packet. In some embodiments, the forwarding element chooses the set of header values following the match pattern of a set of one or more flows. The forwarding element of some embodiments chooses the set of header values based on a wildcard mask that is associated with a flow entry or a flow table mask that is associated with a flow table.

Abstract: An origination device (e.g., a base station) dual encodes a first set of data (1) according to a first set of encoding parameters corresponding to channel conditions associated with a first communication link, and (2) according to a second set of encoding parameters corresponding to channel conditions associated with a second communication link. The dual-encoded first set of data is transmitted to a signal forwarding device. The signal forwarding device decodes the dual-encoded first set of data, using decoding parameters that correspond to the second set of encoding parameters, to generate a single-encoded first set of data that is encoded according to the first set of encoding parameters. The signal forwarding device transmits a “single-encoded forwarded signal” to the destination device. The destination device decodes the single-encoded forwarded signal using decoding parameters that correspond to the first set of encoding parameters, which yields the first set of data.
