Abstract: A guard period for switching between uplink and downlink subframes is created by shortening an uplink subframe, i.e., by not transmitting during one or more symbol intervals at the beginning of the subframe interval. A grant message includes signaling indicating when a shortened subframe should be transmitted. An example method is implemented in a first wireless node configured to transmit data in transmit subframes occurring at defined subframe intervals and having a predetermined number of symbol intervals. This example method includes determining that a transmit subframe is to be shortened, relative to the predetermined number of symbol intervals and, in response to this determination, shortening transmission of the transmit subframe by not transmitting during a beginning portion of the subframe interval for the transmit subframe and transmitting during the remainder of the subframe interval.

Abstract: A communication system in which DRA control is aided by RL. An example embodiment may control one or more buffer queues populated by downstream and/or upstream data streams. The egress rates of the buffer queues can be dynamically controlled using an RL technique, according to which a learning agent can adaptively change the state-to-action mapping function of the DRA controller while circumventing the RL exploration phase and relying on extrapolation of the already taken actions instead. This feature may result in at least two benefits: (i) cancellation of a performance penalty typically associated with RL exploration; and (ii) faster learning of the environment, as the learning agent can determine the performance metrics of many actions per state in a single occurrence of the state. In an example embodiment, the communication system may be a DSL system, a PON system, or a wireless communication system.
