Abstract: Devices and methods of using a reduced complexity network protocol are generally described. An evolved NodeB (eNB) transmits an Attach Request to a mobility management entity (MME), which transmits a Create Session Request for transmission of non-IP (NIP) data of user equipment (UE) to a Packet Data Network (P-GW). The P-GW in response transmits a Create Session Response, with the UE ID if originating at the P-GW and free from a UE IP address and an Up Link Traffic Flow Template, to the MME, which transmits an Attach Accept to the eNB and UE. A UE identifier (UE ID) either originates at the UE and is transmitted in the Attach Request, or is generated by the eNB, MME or P-GW. The NIP data has a tunneling NIP data packet with a NIP header with the UE ID and a NIP user data packet free from TCP/IP encapsulation and header compression.

Abstract: A method implemented to provide a virtual network to tenants requiring bandwidth in a cloud computing environment is disclosed. The method starts with receiving a request for a task at a network device, the request including a first parameter indicating VMs required, a second parameter indicating bandwidths the required VMs need, a third parameter indicating a duration of the task, and a fourth parameter indicating a deadline of the task. The network device then selects a starting time and a bandwidth allocation of the task, where the bandwidth allocation is shrank to be smaller than the second parameter indicating, and where the selection aims at minimizing a measurement of cloud resource utilization considering consumptions of both VMs and bandwidth. Then the network device allocates VMs for the request at the starting time with the bandwidth allocated at a particular location in the cloud computing environment.

These burst transmissions may travel along a plurality of radio access pathways. In embodiments, the pseudo-random label assignments to the packets within the single transmission burst using a van der Corput sequence, or some other sequence for example a digit-reversed base-N representation of a packet sequence number, wherein N is a number of the selected ones of the plurality of radio access pathways, for example but not limited to a LTE or a Wi-Fi pathway.

Abstract: A RAN-based cellular integration architecture is described that eliminates or minimizes required core network support. A local access gateway (LA-GW) node, which may be a logical and physical node, may provide an interface, with a cellular base station, and may forward downlink and/or uplink local IP packets that are then redirected to the cellular link. Network Address Translation (NAT) and a “local access” field are used to support transmission of local access packets over the cellular link.

The device may cause a data packet to be sent to the STA at a second time, wherein the second time is based on the propagation delay.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a fixed device synchronizes with a downlink channel of a network, acquires a master information block including a last system update time; and executes cell selection without acquiring other system information if the last system update time is before the last system access time. Furthermore, the fixed device may listen only for system information block messages that it needs, and ignore other system information blocks.

In some embodiments, one or more system information blocks may be designated for fixed devices.

Abstract: System and techniques for uplink congestion mitigation are described herein. A packet acknowledgement (ACK) rate may be measured in a transmission queue to detect when the ACK rate exceeds a threshold. In response to the ACK rate exceeding the threshold, ACKs may be removed from the transmission queue in accordance with a time-based uplink reduction function. ACKs that remain in the transmission queue after ACKs are removed in accordance with the time-based uplink reduction function may then be transmitted.

Abstract: System and techniques for transmission controller protocol (TCP) receiver controller interruption mitigation are described herein. At a receiver device, a physical link degradation indication of a physical link may be obtained. In response to the physical link degradation indication, a transmission queue may be measured to determine bufferbloat that is a result of a temporary blockage of the physical link. The receiver device may then transmit, to a second device on the physical link, a TCP receive window size update that is smaller than a previous TCP receive window size.

The multi-RAT UE can initiate the inter-RAT WLAN-to-WWAN handover at the multi-RAT UE by performing random access with the eNB using the WLAN-specific dedicated PRACH allocation information.
