Abstract: Techniques for determining that a configuration change in configurations for a network device has occurred to result in changed configurations for the network device. The techniques include creating a policy for the network device by a network controller that manages one or more network devices. The network controller may obtain data from the network device, and update the network device policy based on the obtained data. In some examples, the network controller may compare the network device configurations state with the network controller intent to determine if an Out-of-Band (OOB) configuration change has occurred in the configuration of the network device. Finally, the controller may synchronize the network device to the controller based on the updated policy.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to, e.g., a method performed by a user equipment, UE, for handling signal measurements. The UE determines whether one or more conditions are fulfilled for indicating that a radio condition is below a certain level.

Abstract: In a wireless network, a base station may configure a victim user equipment (UE) experiencing interference with a periodic measurement resource using Layer 3 (L3) signaling, and the UE may report cross-link interference (CLI) measurements to the base station using L3 messages. However, using L3 signaling to configure interference measurement and reporting may result in an inflexible interference measurement configuration and a long latency to report CLI and/or self-interference feedback. Furthermore, although Layer 1 and/or Layer 2 (L1/L2) CLI reporting may be more suitable to track and adapt to dynamic changes in interference conditions, L1/L2 signaling increases control signaling and CLI management overhead at the base station. Accordingly, some aspects described herein relate to an adaptive L3 CLI measurement and reporting framework, where L3 messages may include one or more adaptive fields to support flexibility in configuring CLI measurement and/or CLI reporting parameters.

Abstract: A method for congestion control in a data communication protocol employing acknowledged communication may include measuring a flight size. A transmission rate may be measured. A trend of the flight size may be determined. A trend of the transmission rate may be determined, and the trend may be derived from a transmission rate gradient calculation, in which either the transmission rate measurements or the transmission rate gradient calculations or both may be filtered to reduce their temporal variability. Whether there is a congestion may be detected according to the determined trend of the transmission rate and the trend of the flight size. Upon detection of the congestion, a change may be made from a current congestion control state to a new congestion control state. Data may be transmitted while respecting a maximum amount of unacknowledged data which the transmitting node may transmit. An apparatus is also disclosed.
