Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives a message that indicates a sidelink (SL) communication resource configuration to be used by the UE for communicating SL control information and SL data between the UE and another UE. The UE transmits SL control information according to the SL communication resource configuration, and transmits SL data according to the SL communication resource configuration. The SL control information and the SL data are transmitted by the UE without the UE receiving, in a downlink control information (DCI), a grant of communication resources.

Abstract: A Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) network can be inexpensively extended by additional switches (220x) that do not have a full FCoE functionality, e.g. do not have full E-port functionality. The additional switches may or may not have unique Domain IDs. A virtual switch fabric can be extended by such additional switches.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to compression of pixel data using different quantization for different regions of a block of pixels being compressed. In some embodiments, compression circuitry is configured to determine, for multiple components included in pixels of the block of pixels being compressed, respective smallest and greatest component values in respective regions of the block of pixels. The compression circuitry may determine, based on the determined smallest and greatest component values, to use a first number of bits to represent delta values relative to a base value for a first component in a first region and a second, different number of bits to represent delta values relative to a base value for a second component in the first region. The compression circuitry may then quantize delta values for the first and second components of pixels in the first region of the block of pixels using the determined first and second numbers of bits.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for frame-based initiator device operations. A wireless device may be operating within a frame-based equipment communications system, where a frame may include a channel occupancy time period and a minimum idle period. An initiating device may be configured to initiate autonomous uplink communications during the channel occupancy time period of its frame, while the device may not initiate communications during an idle period of its frame. In some cases, a frame-based equipment communications system may include more than one initiating device, where the idle periods for different initiating devices may occur at different times. In some cases, the initiating device may be configured to initiate communications during the idle period for another initiating device. This may allow the wireless system to decrease system overhead associated with a minimum idle period per frame.

Abstract: A device determines a throughput for each network slice of multiple network slices in a mobile network over a number of time windows, and predicts a future throughput for each network slice of the multiple network slices based on the determined throughput. The device determines an available bandwidth of a Radio Access Network (RAN) of the mobile network. The device allocates a respective portion of the available bandwidth of the RAN to each network slice of the multiple network slices based on the predicted future throughput for each network slice.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting a PPDU on the basis of S-TDMA in a wireless LAN system are presented. In particular, an AP generates a PPDU, and transmits the PPDU to a first STA and a second STA. When a PPDU further comprises a third signal field, the third signal field comprises information about S-TDMA. The information about S-TDMA comprises STDMA indication information indicating that S-TDMA can be carried out, first symbol offset information about a first data field, and second symbol offset information about a second data field. The S-TDMA indication information comprises information indicating that the first and second data fields are assigned to a first RU. The first data field is transmitted from the first RU during a first symbol determined on the basis of the first symbol offset information. The second data field is transmitted from the first RU during a second symbol determined on the basis of the second symbol offset information.

Abstract: Managing prefix lists at edge devices can include detecting, at an edge device, a traffic flow that can include a packet that specifies a destination address. The edge device can measure a bandwidth associated with the traffic flow, identify a flow bandwidth threshold defined for the edge device, and determine if the bandwidth associated with the traffic flow satisfies the flow bandwidth threshold. If a determination is made that the bandwidth associated with the traffic flow satisfies the flow bandwidth threshold, the edge device can include the destination address in a prefix list stored at the edge device. If a determination is made that the bandwidth associated with the traffic flow does not satisfy the flow bandwidth threshold, the edge device can omit the destination address from the prefix list stored at the edge device.

Abstract: This application describes apparatus and methods for using edge-computing to control resource distribution among access channels, such as a retail banking center. Edge-nodes may be configured to move a product display in response to detected or expected customer traffic flow in or near a retail location. Edge-nodes may be configured to redirect resources provided by a cloud computing environment to or away from the retail location. Based on customer traffic flow, edge-nodes may direct customers/resources to a retail location and ensure the retail location provides a predetermined quality of service.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support chained sidelink transmissions. A transmitting user equipment (UE) may send, to a receiving UE, sidelink control information (SCI) that reserves resources for transmission from the transmitting UE as well as reserves resources for a response transmission from the receiving UE. The receiving UE may respond with a transmission using the resources that were reserved in the SCI and without sending its own SCI to reserve resources for the response. The latency between the transmitting UE sending the first transmission and receiving a response from the receiving UE may be reduced, because the transmitting UE reserved the resources for itself and the receiving UE with the same SCI.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may interrupt a user equipment (UE) during transport block (TB) encoding. The UE may cancel transmission (e.g., suppress processing) of a TB based on the interruption, such that a first subset of code blocks is encoded and a second subset is unencoded. In some cases, the UE may receive a re-transmission request for a code block including cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits for the TB, where the CRC bits are not prepared. In one example, the UE may modify the CRC bits (e.g., set them to a common value, drop them, etc.) to reduce processing time. In another example, the base station may request re-transmission of all preempted code blocks, supporting TB CRC calculation. In another example, the base station or UE may extend a processing timeline for the re-transmission to support TB CRC calculation.
