Abstract: A system for selecting a communication mode for a transmitting node to communicate with a receiving node in a mesh network is provided. For example, a transmitting node can gather mode selection data that describe communication conditions of the transmitting node and the receiving node. Based on the mode selection data, the transmitting node can determine a first white list of modes that can be used by the transmitting node to successfully transmit data packets to the receiving node. The transmitting node also determines a second white list of modes that can be used by the receiving node to send acknowledgment packets successfully to the transmitting node. The transmitting node further identifies overlapped modes between the first and second white lists of modes. The transmitting node can then select one of the overlapped modes for transmitting data packets to the receiving node.

Abstract: A control device of a telecommunications network can receive a session-initiation message and determine a context identifier associated with at least one of a calling-party identifier and a called-party identifier of the message. The control device can retrieve calling-party identification information from an information server based at least in part on the calling-party identifier and the context identifier. The control device can determine a second session-initiation message comprising the calling-party identification information based at least in part on the session-initiation message and send the second session-initiation message via the telecommunications network. An information server can receive a query and select, based at least in part on context information thereof, a calling-party identification information value associated with a calling-party identifier in the query. The information server can send, via the network, a response comprising the calling-party identification information value.

One method includes receiving a first response from a second mesh network device and a second response wirelessly from the second mesh network device, the first response associated with a first request to establish a first wireless path with a third mesh network device and the second response associated with a second request to establish a second wireless path with a fourth mesh network device. The method determines that the first response and the second response include a same sequential number (SN) for the second mesh network device. The method forwards the first response to the third mesh network device and forwards the second response to the fourth mesh network device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a D2D capable a communication method and to a transmitting user equipment, which transmits data to a receiving user equipment over a direct link data channel, uses the services of the eNodeB in order to have resources allocated for transmitting said data. To this end the UE sends to the eNB scheduling information using resources of a subframe dedicated for standard uplink communication through the eNodeB, rather than using resources on the subframe dedicated to D2D data transmission. In order to allow the eNB to distinguish whether the received scheduling request is for allocating resources for transmitting data over the direct link channel or over the eNB, UE may send along with the scheduling information also identification information associated to the scheduling information.

Abstract: A differentiated routing system includes an electronic service in communication with an ingress gateway that receives a communication service, such as a call from a terminal, over a trunk. The service receives a request from the ingress gateway for establishing a communication service for the calling party terminal. The service obtains information associated with the calling party terminal, which may be based on the trunk and its relationship to a customer, in which the information is to be used for applying at least one of a routing decision and policy decision to the communication service, and appends a tag to the request based on the information. The service may then transmit the request appended with the information to a routing device, which may then use the information when providing the service.

Abstract: Systems and methods of expanding indication capabilities of existent PPDU preamble fields. The “GI+LTF Size” field is redefined to indicate a new combination of GI duration and HE-LTF size. The redefinition is indicated when the values of the two other existent fields, in combination, indicate an invalid scenario because the two values should have been mutually exclusive. Particularly, the DCM field and the STBC field are both set to the “enabled” mode as an indication for redefine the “GI+LTF Size” field. Upon receiving such a PPDU, a receiver is configured to resolve the PPDU as neither DCM nor STBC is enabled. Rather, the receiver interprets the particular combination of DCM and STBC values as an indication that the “GI+LTF Size” field is redefined to indicate the new combination of GI duration and HE-LTF size.

Abstract: A management node and method at the management node provide automatic PCI allocation to sites in a RAN by iteratively identifying a selected cell site to be allocated a PCI group. From a group of cell sites in the RAN that have already been allocated a PCI group, the method obtains, for each PCI group, a closest neighbor site having a least distance from the selected cell site. The method allocates a PCI associated with a closest neighbor site based on whether any of the closest neighbor sites meet criteria including, with respect to the selected cell site, a respective distance greater than a cluster distance, a lack of coverage overlap between any respective sectors, a tier relationship that is two or greater and a respective distance greater than an average cell footprint, and a lack of sectors that face any sectors of the given cell site.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for configuring a retransmission protocol on the uplink between a network node and a relay node in a mobile communication system, the configuration being performed at a network node or at a relay node, and to the corresponding relay node apparatus and network node apparatus capable of configuring the retransmission protocol. In particular, the number of transmission processes is determined based on the position of time intervals available for the transmission and may be selected in order to control the round trip time of the retransmission protocol. Once the number of transmission processes has been configured, the transmission processes are mapped on the available time intervals in a predefined order and repetitively.

Abstract: Policy based dual connectivity traffic steering is described herein. A master Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base station may operate in conjunction with a secondary New Radio (NR) base station to provide dual connectivity to user equipment (UE) operating in an environment. The LTE base station can steer traffic between the LTE base station and the NR base station based at least in part on policy information received at the LTE base station. The policy information can indicate, for a particular UE and for a particular Quality of Service (QoS) Class Identifier (QCI), whether the LTE base station can transfer a communication to the NR base station. Thus, traffic steering determinations can be based on the policy information, quality identifiers, device capability, signal strength(s), load level(s), and the like, thereby providing a flexible framework for steering wireless traffic in a dual connectivity environment.
