Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for addressing client constraints in dynamic subchannel operation (DSO). Some aspects more specifically relate to a DSO frame exchange between an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD that is operating in accordance with an enhanced multi-link single-radio (EMLSR) or an enhanced multi-link multi-radio (EMLMR) communication mode. In such aspects, the non-AP MLD may use a frame associated with a DSO frame exchange to trigger the non-AP MLD to perform an operation associated with the EMLSR/EMLMR communication mode. Some additional, or alternative, aspects more specifically relate to a DSO frame exchange between an AP MLD and a non-AP MLD that has disabled a communication mode associated with uplink multi-user (MU) communication. In such aspects, the AP MLD and the non-AP MLD may apply one or more constraints on the DSO frame exchange associated with the disabled uplink MU communication.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product utilizing autonomous vehicles as mobile edge data nodes for data storage and distribution. Information pertaining to data being generated and used in a smart city is collected to predict the data demand in a region of the smart city.

Furthermore, one or more available autonomous vehicles functioning as mobile edge data nodes to assist in servicing the predicted data demand in this region of the smart city are identified. Such identified autonomous vehicles may then be instructed to park in one of the identified available parking spots to assist in servicing the predicted data demand in this region of the smart city.
