Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit sets of network coding encoded packets user equipments (UEs), and each set of network coding encoded packets may be associated with a redundancy overhead. The base station may dynamically identify the redundancy overhead for transmitting sets of network coding encoded packets to each UE based on a failure rate associated with a previous transmission of network coding encoded packets to that UE. For example, the base station may determine a failure rate associated with a transmission of a first set of network coding encoded packets and may identify a redundancy overhead associated with one or more second sets of network coding encoded packets based on the determined failure rate. In some cases, the base station may identify different redundancy overheads for transmissions of network coding encoded packets to different UEs.

Abstract: A base station can maintain a transmission beam toward a user device, even in changing conditions, by realtime incremental feedback in 5G and 6G. The incremental feedback is a compact one-of-three request, from the user device, indicating a higher, keep-same, or lower adjustment of a transmission parameter such as the power or beam angle. The base station then adds or subtracts a predetermined increment to that transmission parameter, thereby improving reception with each downlink message. Such incremental adjustment continues with each message to the user device, until the optimum value is reached, at which time the user device selects the keep-same choice. For efficient optimization, the base station can vary the increment size, for example escalating to larger sizes upon repeated same-sign requests, and then de-escalating to smaller increments for fine-tuning and beam optimization. Many other aspects are disclosed.

Abstract: An information management method includes that a controller generates a first message carrying an address of a first next hop of a network device. The first message includes first identification information. The first identification information instructs the network device to delete, from a next hop table stored in the network device, an entry of the first next hop corresponding to the address of the first next hop. The network device receives the first message, and deletes the entry of the first next hop as indicated by the first identification information. The controller withdraw an unavailable next hop by separately sending information about the next hop to the network device without route prefix information, effectively saving a system resource occupied for route withdrawal message exchanging between the controller and the network device, and improving service processing efficiency.

Abstract: Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and apparatus for managing user equipment (UE) communications in a converged network by causing such UE to automatically select a “best” wireless network (cellular RAN/WiFi) without any user notification/interaction to the user of the UE, such as via the device user interface (UI). The best wireless network may be determined using contemporaneous QoS related measurements, or predicted QoS measurements such as provided by a RAN node or channel QoS model generated via machine learning techniques, which may also be used to determine a type of QoS needed for each application or service commonly invoked at the UE so as to automatically provide the best possible user experience without any user intervention.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and discloses a channel quality information determining method, an apparatus, and a system. The method may include: a terminal device obtains a configured TBS, and/or determines channel quality information of each of K segments of frequency domain resources based on the configured TBS and/or a time domain resource range. A frequency domain resource of the terminal device may be divided into N segments, where both N and K are integers greater than or equal to 1, and K is less than or equal to N. In some embodiments, the configured TBS may be fully considered when the channel quality information is determined, so that a network device properly may determine, based on the channel quality information, a frequency domain resource used to transmit a data packet.

Abstract: An ultra-lean, low-complexity 5G/6G procedure for adjusting transmission beam parameters for optimal reception by a particular user device. The transmitter can append multiple brief test signals to each message, using a different transmission parameter for each test signal. The receiver can reply (optionally in an acknowledgement) indicating which test signal was best received. The transmitter can then use the selected value of the transmission parameter for the next message, thereby successively approaching the optimal value. Each adjustment step can be a predetermined increment value, which is added or subtracted from the previous value depending on which test signal was selected by the receiver. As conditions change (or as the user device moves), the beam parameter can be updated again upon each downlink transmission, thereby tracking the user device's preferred transmission value in realtime.
