Abstract: A system for monitoring and resolving issues associated with network connectivity. A first device may connect to an access point to communicatively couple with other computing devices on a network, such as a remote device. The first device and/or the remote device may monitor, in real-time, a health of network connection to provide one or more recommendations for resolving connectivity issues and/or instructing a second device to establish a connection with the first device. The connection may permit the first device to communicatively couple to the remote device via the second device.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to obtaining a duplex mode of a scheduled entity, selecting a downlink-uplink (DU) slot interpretation to be applied by the scheduled entity to a slot including a DU symbol based on the duplex mode of the scheduled entity, and transmitting the DU slot interpretation to the scheduled entity. The DU symbol may be configured to include a downlink transmission and an uplink transmission within a same carrier bandwidth. Other aspects relate to receiving a message, indicating that the slot is formatted with a DU symbol, selecting a DU slot interpretation to be applied to the slot including the DU symbol based on a duplex mode of the scheduled entity, and applying the DU slot interpretation to the slot.

Abstract: A UE may identify slots to transmit and/or receive information related to one or more HARQ processes in frame structure that includes both sub-band full duplex slot types and time division duplex slot types. Based on a first slot used for control information, a UE can identify a second slot for PUSCH or PDSCH communication based on an offset between the first slot and the second determined by calculating slot offsets (e.g., based on parameters received from a base station). In some aspects, a UE may exclude certain slot duplex types (e.g., SBFD or TDD) when calculating slot offsets. In some aspects, a UE may calculate slot offsets differently for different HARQ processes corresponding to one frame. In some aspects, slot offset behaviors may be based on priority of information associated with a HARQ process.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for using opportunistically delayed delivery of content to address sub-optimal bandwidth resource usage in network infrastructures that allow subscribers to share forward link resources. According to some embodiments, content is identified as delayable and assigned to a delaycast queue and/or service flow. For example, a server system of a satellite communications system identifies content that can be delayed to exploit future excess link capacity through multicasting and to exploit subscriber-side storage resources. Some implementations attempt to exploit any excess link resources at any time, while others exploit unused bandwidth only during certain times or when a certain threshold of resources is available. Various embodiments also provide content scoring and/or other prioritization techniques for optimizing exploitation of the delaycast queue.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for the pseudo-cooperative load balancing and/or distribution of traffic and/or other types of data by independent nodes. Techniques described herein may be considered “pseudo-cooperative” in that the resulting distribution of traffic and/or other data may resemble load balancing techniques in which various nodes, that serve as an ingress for data for distribution and/or other types of processing, communicate with each other (e.g., share context information) in order to perform load balancing in a coordinated or cooperative manner. In contrast, nodes in accordance with some embodiments described herein may perform load balancing with the same or similar results (e.g., a relatively even distribution of traffic and/or other data), without communicating with each other, thus saving time, processing resources, and/or other resources.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for activating a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) duplication and a node device. The method includes: receiving, by a second node, a notification message transmitted by a first node when the first node configures a PDCP duplication for a bearer; after the second node receives the notification message, changing or determining, by the second node, an activation or deactivation state of uplink (UL) PDCP duplication of the bearer.

The satellite provides a number of satellite beams, and each satellite beam includes multiple cells. The base station communicates with the UE via a satellite using a narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) waveform and an enhanced protocol. In particular, the base station and UE perform carrier aggregation by adding and/or deleting carriers in a cell, and the base station and UE perform a higher-order modulation and coding scheme (MCS) processing to support high data rates for user data transport.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support procedures for configured grants. Generally, the described techniques may relate to restricting a number of retransmissions used during a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process or managing potential scheduling conflicts for the HARQ process from dynamic grants and configured grants. A device (e.g., a user equipment) may initiate a timer or a counter associated with a HARQ process for indicating that transmission attempts for the HARQ process are permitted. The device may identify a transmission occasion of a configured grant in an unlicensed frequency spectrum band that is associated with the HARQ process and may determine that the timer associated with the HARQ process is active. The device may perform a transmission attempt over the transmission occasion of the configured grant based on determining that the timer is active.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for on-demand multicast control channel (MCCH) messages are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, system information indicating an MCCH message configuration. Based on receiving the MCCH message configuration, the UE may transmit a request for an MCCH message. For example, the UE may transmit the request for the MCCH message by a random access preamble or a radio resource control (RRC) message. After transmitting the request, the UE may receive the MCCH message in accordance with the MCCH message configuration. That is, the base station may receive the request and transmit the MCCH message in response to the request. The MCCH message may indicate a multicast service radio bearer (MRB) configuration for receiving multicast traffic. Thus, the UE may receive multicast traffic from the base station in accordance with the MRB configuration.
