Abstract: A well cementing method is described for improving cementing quality by controlling the hydration heat of cement slurry. By controlling the degree and/or rate of hydration heat release from cement slurry, the method improves the hydration heat release during formation of cement with curing of cement slurry, improves the binding quality between the cement and the interfaces, and in turn improves the cementing quality at the open hole section and/or the overlap section. The cementing method improves cementing quality of oil and gas wells and reduces the risk of annular pressure.

Abstract: A method includes: receiving, at a first layer of a protocol stack, multiple code blocks from a base station, the multiple code blocks is a portion of a transport block and is associated with an error rate; transmitting, to a second layer of the protocol stack, the multiple code blocks; and determining, at the second layer and based on the error rate, whether to (1) store the multiple code blocks in memory or (2) process the multiple code blocks. A method for saving power in a physical (PHY) layer-to-medium access (MAC) layer interface and a network device, and a system are also provided.

Abstract: Methods for providing a layer-2 data stack solution in a data plane and associated devices are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes (i) determining, among a plurality of data stack solutions that are selectable, which layer-2 data stack solution is selected and (ii) causing, according to the selected layer-2 data stack solution, the layer-2 micro controller to intervene with a data plane hardware module that is configured to implement a specific layer-2 data stack function. Each of the plurality of data stack solutions represents a distinctive intervening configuration of a layer-2 micro controller. The layer-2 micro controller is coupled to a number of data plane hardware modules that are configured to implement different layer-2 data stack functions. The intervening configuration of the layer-2 micro controller is indicative of a level of control of the layer-2 micro controller over the data plane hardware modules.
