Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor a narrowband (e.g., a single carrier, anchor carrier, etc.) for a control message that includes a grant for downlink data transmissions. The narrowband containing the control message may be a portion of a system bandwidth. The UE may then monitor a wideband (e.g., all or multiple carriers of the system bandwidth) for data according to the control message. Monitoring the wideband may include additional or alternate circuitry being powered (e.g., receiver circuit switching) to enable reception on an increased range of frequency spectrum. In some examples, a gap or narrowband data transmission may be scheduled between the control message and the grant to allow grant processing and receiver circuitry switching at the UE. In some cases, the control message and data transmission may be received in the same or different transmission time intervals (TTIs).

Abstract: An embodiment first network node has a data flow table identifying forwarding rules to be applied to incoming data packets. The first network node is configured to allow for manipulation of the data flow table via control messages received via a control connection to a controller. The first network node is further configured to determine an occurrence of a network event or compliance with a condition specified by the controller. The first network node is further configured: to establish a control connection to a second network node in case that the network event occurs or the condition is met and to exchange control messages with the second network node via the control connection.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for configuring dual-connectivity by a terminal, The method may include: performing configuration by adding a secondary base station signaling radio bearer (SRB); receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message including radio resource configuration information associated with a secondary base station or a secondary cell group through the secondary base station SRB; and transmitting a failure information message to a master base station when it is not possible to comply with the radio resource configuration information included in the RRC message.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for using one or more gateway systems for integrating multiple load control systems running multiple versions of software such that the load control systems may appear to a user and be controlled by the user as a unified load control system. Gateways that manage or have managed the same resource may be organized into a Gateway Group. Gateway Groups names may be used for prefix attachment to facilitate routing. For example, a Composite Gateway may receive a request associated with a resource from a user. The Composite Gateway may determine which Gateway actively manages that resource and/or is the Gateway is a member of a Gateway Group. The composite Gateway may then apply one or more policies to facilitate the request. For example, if the Composite Gateway receives an information request, it may apply an authorization policy, a routing policy, and/or an aggregation policy.

Abstract: A method for reporting uplink control information (UCI) by a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The method includes storing information on whether a simultaneous physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission is supported. The method also includes, when the simultaneous PUCCH and PUSCH transmission is not supported and in case of a channel collision between a PUCCH and a PUSCH, transmitting, by the UE, the UCI using the PUCCH in an overlapping portion between the PUCCH and the PUSCH, and dropping the overlapping portion of the PUSCH.

Abstract: A system for video playback switching in response to changing network conditions. The system includes streaming, from a distribution device such as a server, respective index files for a low bit rate version and a high bit rate version of the video file, to remotely executing instantiations of a low bit rate media player and a high bit rate media. Playback of the video file is begun by the high bit rate media player receiving and playing the high bit rate version from the server. Upon an indication of impeded network conditions, a transition point is selected, wherein the transition point indicates where downloading of the high bit rate version stops and where downloading of the low bit rate version begins. The low bit rate media player is then positioned to begin playback at the transition point. The stream of the video file is then switched to the low bit rate player upon encountering the transition point.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for transitioning between short DRX and long DRX cycles based on service type to improve performance (e.g., reduce delay) while limiting power consumption. In one example, the UE switches to a long DRX cycle after a DRX Short Cycle Timer, or drxShortCycleTimer, expires. The UE may also switch to a long DRX if the UE receives long DRX MAC control element (CE) from a gNB. In another example, a gNB may configure a radio bearer from a set of radio bearers (data radio bearer (DRB) and/or signal radio bearer (SRB)), denoted by S, to trigger the UE to enter a short DRX cycle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to reporting the channel state information in a communication system. The channel state information is reported from the user terminal to a base station. Accordingly, the user terminal determines a first channel state information value from a first set of values (levels) and a second channel state information value from another set of values, preferably a larger set of values. Then a difference or other relative measure is calculated between the first and the second channel state information value and transmitted to the base station.

Abstract: A base station receives a set of network information of a cellular network that relates to wireless traffic handled by the base station, A first class of the wireless traffic and a second class of the wireless traffic share a particular frequency division to access the cellular network by using different time divisions of the particular frequency division.

The base station allows the second class of the wireless traffic to use time divisions of the particular frequency division that are not used by the first class of wireless traffic to access the cellular network.

Abstract: A base station dynamically controls whether or not to serve a WCD on an in-band carrier defined within occupied bandwidth of a host carrier, with the dynamic controlling being based on whether the base station is operating in a capacity-mode on the host carrier, such as whether the base station has beamforming enabled on the host carrier and/or the base station is serving one or more relay nodes on the host carrier. If the base station is operating in a capacity-mode on the host carrier, then the base station could responsively transition a WCD from being served on the in-band carrier to instead being served on a guard-band carrier defined within a guard-band of the host carrier, or to being served on another carrier that is not an in-band carrier defined in the occupied bandwidth of the host carrier.
