Abstract: Aspects include receiving, at an input/output (I/O) processor, a transport control word (TCW) that includes an instruction to perform physical port mirroring. It is identified, by the I/O processor, a first port to be mirrored and a second port to perform the mirroring. The second port is a physical port on a host bus adapter (HBA). In response to outbound data being sent to the first port for transmission to a first target device and to the instruction specifying outbound port mirroring, the I/O processor sends a copy of the outbound data to a second target device via the second port. In response to receiving inbound data at the first port and to the instruction specifying inbound port mirroring, a copy of the inbound data is transmitted to the second target device via the second port.

Abstract: A radio access network (RAN) configured to support real-time communications over a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connection is described herein. When a request for a data transmission is received and a real-time communication session over the LTE connection is established, the RAN utilizes the LTE connection, not a New Radio (NR) connection, for the data transmission. When a request for a further real-time communication is received and there is an active data transmission session over the NR connection, the RAN performs at least one of ceasing to allocate traffic to the NR connection for downlink or reconfiguring the data transmission session to send data over the LTE connection.

A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a first SSB from an entity in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) at a first time and frequency location. The method generally includes determining one or more time and frequency locations of one or more other SSBs from the entity in the NTN based on the first time and frequency location. The method generally includes monitoring for the one or more other SSBs at the determined one or more time and frequency locations.

Abstract: An access point (AP) may be configured by processing circuitry to operate as a coordinator AP for performing BSS channel level coordination. The coordinator AP is configured to assign non-overlapping channels to one or more coordinated APs of overlapping BSSs to schedule time-sensitive traffic to help ensure bounded latency, jitter and reliability per BSS. In some embodiments, the AP may be configured for performing transmission level coordination and may initiate a coordinated transmission opportunity (TXOP) for resource assignment to control contention access among managed BSSs. To perform the BSS channel level coordination, the coordinator AP is configured to encode a multi-AP trigger frame (M-TF) to initiate the coordinated TXOP. The M-TF may be encoded to include a time-sensitive operation IE indicating how each STA is to access the channel within the coordinated TXOP.

The slave logic may enable the multiple devices having the slave logic to manage operations of the distributed devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein improve a customer experience for non-standalone cellular networks by displaying a secondary cell group (SCG) network icon after data activity ends while a user device likely remains in SCG coverage. When connected to the SCG, the user device detects inactivity on the connection and initiates a first timer, based on the detecting, while continuing to present an SCG-related icon. If the first timer expires while the user device is in an idle state, the user device initiates a second timer, while continuing to present the SCG-related icon. If the user device detects an active connection before expiration of the second timer, the user device initiates a third timer while continuing to present the SCG-related icon. If the user device fails to detect a connection to the SCG before expiration of the third timer, a master cell group (MCG)-related icon is displayed.
