Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) D2D device transmits a coverage transition indicator when the UE device leaves a service area of base station and is no longer in coverage. The coverage transition indicator at least indicates that the UE device has left the service area and is no longer in coverage. Based on the coverage transition indicator, a determination can be made as to whether the D2D group to which the UE device belongs has transitioned to an out of coverage scenario from a partial coverage scenario.

Abstract: A network device may receive traffic to be processed by a routing component, and may determine temperatures of an ASIC and an HBM of the routing component at a first time. The network device may determine whether the temperature of the ASIC satisfies a first ASIC temperature threshold or a second ASIC temperature threshold, and may determine whether the temperature of the HBM satisfies a first HBM temperature threshold or a second HBM temperature threshold. The network device may selectively throttle processing of the traffic by a first quantity when the temperature of the ASIC satisfies the first ASIC temperature threshold or the temperature of the HBM satisfies the first HBM temperature threshold, or throttle the processing of the traffic by a second quantity when the temperature of the ASIC satisfies the second ASIC temperature threshold or the temperature of the HBM satisfies the second HBM temperature threshold.

Abstract: A method is performed at a switch fabric that communicates with a storage array target port. The method includes sending frames to the target port responsive to receiving buffer-to-buffer (B2B) credits that indicate a receive buffer at the target port is available for the frames. The method further includes, in response to detecting a credit stall at the target port, operating in a virtual lane mode. The operating in the virtual lane mode includes: determining whether a frame destined for the target port is a command frame or a data frame; based on the determining, marking the frame to indicate that the frame is destined for a particular virtual lane among virtual lanes of the receive buffer; and receiving from the target port a per-virtual lane B2B credit that indicates the particular virtual lane is available and, in responsive, sending the frame to that virtual lane on the target port.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for the secure creation of application containers for 5G slices. A MEC application in a MEC layer of a 5G network can be associated with a specific network slice of the 5G network. A backhaul routing policy for the MEC application can be defined based on the association of the MEC application with the specific network slice of the 5G network. Further, a SID for the MEC application that associates the MEC application with a segment routing tunnel through a backhaul of the 5G network can be generated. A MEC layer access policy for the MEC application can be defined based on the SID for the MEC application. As follows, access to the MEC application through the 5G network can be controlled based on both the backhaul routing policy for the MEC application and the MEC layer access policy for the application.

A system information block (SIB) may be received in the second type EPDCCH CSS. The UE or the WTRU may monitor a second type DCI, for example perhaps in the second type EPDCCH CSS.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for mobility procedures configured to maintain connectivity with a device, such as a user equipment (UE), when the UE moves between single-frequency network (SFN) areas. When the UE operates in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state or an RRC idle state, the UE may utilize hierarchical mobility. As the UE moves throughout the coverage area of the network, the UE may use mobility procedures for moving between a serving radio access network (RAN) notification area (RNA) and a neighboring RNA (e.g., inter-RNA procedures), and/or procedures for moving between SFN areas within the serving RNA (e.g., intra-RNA procedures), which may include procedures for moving between tracking areas (TAs). In some mobility procedures, the UE may skip decoding a system information block. In some mobility procedures, the UE may skip reading the system information. An SFN area may be a radio access network area code (RAN-AC).
