Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a node (AP2, U11) in a wireless communication system (1), where the node (AP2, U11) is adapted to communicate with at least two other nodes (AP1, AP0) in the wireless communication system (1), and where the other nodes (AP1, AP0) are first type nodes (AP1, AP0) which are adapted to communicate with each other by means of backhaul communication. The node (AP2, U11) is adapted to receive a signal (xA) transmitted from an adjacent first type node (AP1), where the (xA) has been forwarded from at least one farther first type node (AP0). In case of unsuccessful decoding of the signal (xA), the node (AP2, U11) is adapted to request re-transmission (NACK) of the signal (xA), and to receive a re-transmission of the signal (xA) directly from a farther first type node (AP0).

Abstract: A vehicle information service implemented on one or more computers of a service provider network implements a first application programmatic interface (API) that allows a client to define inclusion parameters and a sample size for a fleet of vehicles from which vehicle data is to be collected. The vehicle information service also implements a second API that notifies the client when the requested vehicle data has been collected from the vehicle fleet. Additionally, the vehicle information service provides the client access to the collected vehicle data. The vehicle information service manages the collection of the vehicle data from the client defined vehicle fleet without requiring further client involvement and notifies the client when the collection of the vehicle data is complete.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an uplink grant that schedules uplink shared channel transmissions of a first length. The UE may then determine the actual lengths of the transmissions, which may differ from each other and the scheduled length (e.g., due to conditions of the communication environment, such as the location of slot boundaries). The UE may also identify uplink control information to be multiplexed on the uplink shared channel (e.g., when the scheduled transmission overlaps with a control channel or based on an uplink grant for the uplink control information). The UE may multiplex the uplink control information on the uplink shared channel so as to maintain the same rate-matching scheme and the same coding scheme for each of the transmissions, and transmit the uplink control information in at least one of the transmissions.

Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of efficiently utilizing an output buffer is provided. The NIC can be equipped with an output buffer, a host interface, an injector logic block, and an allocation logic block. The output buffer can include a plurality of cells, each of which can be a unit of storage in the output buffer. If the host interface receives a command from a host device, the injector logic block can generate a packet based on the command. The allocation logic block can then determine whether the packet is a multi-cell packet. If the packet is a multi-cell packet, the allocation logic block can determine a virtual index for the packet. The allocation logic block can then store, in an entry in a data structure, the virtual index, and a set of physical indices of cells storing the packet.

The method includes receiving, from a user equipment (UE) a message having a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) format and comprising a MAC protocol data unit (PDU) structure, the message being formed by multiplexing one or more MAC service data units (SDUs). The method further includes generating a response message to the received message by multiplexing a MAC random access response (RAR) with one or more MAC SDUs. The method then transmits the response message to the UE.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance network traffic management. In one implementation, a first host identifies a packet to be transferred from a first virtual machine on the first host to a second virtual machine on a second host. In response to identifying the packet, the first host identifies a source logical port for the first virtual machine, and transferring a communication to the second host, wherein the communication encapsulates the data packet and the source logical port. Once the packet is received by the second host, the second host may use the source logical port to determine a forwarding action for the packet.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for wireless communications. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit a multicast message to a group of user equipment (UEs), and the UEs may provide feedback for the multicast message. In some implementations, the base station may configure the UEs to transmit feedback for multicast messages. In some example, the UEs may transmit group-negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback information for multicast messages that are not successfully received at the UEs. In some other examples, each UE may be configured with UE-specific uplink control channel resources for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for a multicast message. In some implementations, a UE may support feedback for both unicast and multicast messages. The semi-static codebook for unicast, multicast, or both may account for whether the UE is capable of concurrently receiving unicast and multicast messages in a slot.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for transmitting and receiving sidelink information.

Hence, supporting multiple unicast sessions or groupcast sessions by the same device may be achieved.
