Abstract: A wireless IEEE 802.11 communication protocol under CSMA/CA for enhanced full duplex (FD) station (STA) operations. PPDU preambles are configured to incorporate STA identification and corresponding resource unit (RU) or multiple resource unit (MRU) information. An FD AP indicates STA identification and corresponding RU/MRU index of a transmission destination in the FD preamble of a downlink (DL) PPDU; while a FD non-AP STA indicates its own STA identification and corresponding RU/MRU index in the FD preamble of a uplink (UL) PPDU. The disclosed technology mitigates many issues in regard to fake collisions, partial RU fake collisions, and real collisions, toward improving communications and efficiency and reducing latencies.

Abstract: Light and/or Inactive state connectivity and/or autonomous mobility techniques are contemplated. A WTRU may, for example, have an inactive/idle mode, a light connected/loosely connected/Inactive mode and/or a connected/fully connected/Active mode. A WTRU in light connected mode may have a WTRU context stored in a RAN. A WTRU may perform an area monitoring procedure while in light connected state. A WTRU may engage in autonomous mobility during light connectivity. A WTRU may move within a logical area (e.g., a RAN paging area), perhaps without notifying the network. The WTRU may provide notice when it has moved outside a logical area (e.g., update RAN paging area). Mobility in light connected state may be network controlled (e.g., to enable handover when data transfer may be allowed and/or ongoing). A WTRU may be reachable during a light connectivity state. A WTRU may engage in autonomous mobility during light connectivity and/or an Inactive state.

The one or more alternative NF (service) instances may be equivalent NFs (services) of the same NF (Service) Set as the NF (service) instance. The address may be used for communication of messages to the NF (service) instance, and the one or more alternative addresses may be used for load balancing or backup failure.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of optimizing a usage distribution in a communications network uses a quantum concept processor. A set of traffic demands for a transfer of determined data volumes between origin nodes and destination nodes among the plurality of communication nodes is captured. The traffic demands are split into sub-demands. A set of optional communication paths for an individual routing of each sub-demand is specified. The edges within the set of optional communication paths are assigned a respective usage capacity limit. Fractional capacity usages of the edges are calculated based on the respective usage capacity limit. The calculated fractional capacity usages are formulated as terms of a quadratic stress function. An optimized routing is determined by using a quantum concept processor, thereby selecting for each sub-demand one communication path from the set of optional communication paths such that the quadratic stress function is minimized.
