Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a method of assigning resources to eNodeBs in a mobility management entity (MME) pool, including determining a first relative capacity for a first eNodeB based on at least one of latency between the first eNodeB and a first MME and the location of the first eNodeB. A second relative capacity may be determined for a second eNodeB based on at least one of latency between the second eNodeB and the first MME and the location of the second eNodeB. The first and second relative capacities may be indicative of relative capacity values greater than zero. The relative capacities may be provided to the first and second eNodeBs, and a portion of traffic sent from the first and second eNodeBs to the first MME may be based on the first and second relative capacities, respectively.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for reflective quality of service (QoS) control and management at a user equipment (UE). The method can include creating a derived QoS rule belonging to a session and having a QoS flow identifier (QFI). The derived QoS rule includes a precedence value that is set to one of a precedence value associated with a session identifier (ID) of the session received from a core network (CN) of a wireless communication system during a session establishment procedure for establishing the session, a precedence value associated with the QFI received from the CN during the session establishment procedure for establishing the session or when a downlink QoS flow having the QFI is added to the session, or a precedence value that is defined by an operator of the wireless communication system.

Abstract: An MTC method includes: a base station receives a terminal identity and business registration information from a terminal, the business registration information including a business type and service subscription information; the base station allocates time-frequency reporting resource information to the terminal according to the business registration information; the base station sends the time-frequency reporting resource information to the terminal; and the base station receives an uplink data packet from the terminal according to the time-frequency reporting resource information. In the embodiment, the base station allocates the time-frequency reporting resource information to the terminal to ensure that the terminal sends the uplink data packet to the base station. Such a scheduling process is simple and consistent, which can reduce complexity and power consumption of MTC, and can further reduce deployment cost of an MTC system and prolong the service life of battery-powered equipment.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for executing a reference signal time difference measurement (RSTD) measurement-related operation by a terminal in a wireless communication system, which is a measurement-related operation executing method comprising the steps of: receiving RSTD measurement information from two or more helper UEs (H-UEs); using the received RSTD measurement information to correct the RSTD measurement information measured by the terminal; and transmitting the corrected RSTD measurement information to a base station.

Abstract: A network system control method includes intercepting a flow modification message sent by a controller from a network protocol path between a switch and the controller so as to obtain a new flow entry; accessing a flow table of the switch so as to obtain a plurality of flow entries; inserting at least one redundant flow entry according to the new flow entry and the plurality of flow entries; performing an aggregation operation to the new flow entry, the plurality of flow entries and the at least one redundant flow entry so as to generate a set of aggregated flow entries; and updating the flow table using the set of aggregated flow entries.

Abstract: A virtual boresight vector for an antenna array can be calculated. The virtual boresight vector defines the direction an antenna array is pointing and can be used to ensure that angle of arrival measurements are performed with high accuracy. The virtual boresighting process can include positioning a calibration node at two different locations in order to obtain different covariance matrices. With the covariance matrices and based on knowing the angle between the two locations, an angle of arrival node can perform a process to calculate a precise angle between the antenna array and the second location.
