Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that provide highly available data-processing network functions for radio-based networks. In one embodiment, a tunnel host consistently routes network traffic associated with a range of network addresses in a radio-based network to a first instance of a data-processing network function instead of a second instance of the data-processing network function. A problem with the first instance of the data-processing network function is then detected. Additional network traffic associated with the range of network addresses is redirected from the first instance of the data-processing network function to the second instance of the data-processing network function.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for on-demand application-driven network slicing. In one embodiment, it is determined that an application implemented in a particular computing device has an increased quality-of-service requirement in order to send or receive data via a communications network. The increased quality-of-service requirement is greater than an existing quality-of-service provided to the application by the communications network. The application sends a request that causes capacity in a network slice having the increased quality-of-service requirement in the communications network to be allocated for the application. The data is transmitted to or from the application using the network slice.

A second WAP device is designated as a secondary device to the first WAP device on the first DFS channel. In response to detection of a radar event by the first WAP device: the first WAP device transitions to being the secondary device on the first DFS channel; the second WAP device transitions to being the primary device on the first DFS channel; and the second WAP device performs a channel availability check (CAC) on a second DFS channel and communicates availability of the second DFS channel to the first WAP device.

Abstract: Techniques for transmitting channel state information (CSI) are described. In an example, a device determines a condition associated with a link parameter of a link between the device and another device. Based at least in part on the condition, the device determines a CSI packet period. The device transmits, to the other device and based at least in part on the CSI packet period, a CSI packet over the link. Accordingly, when the conditions change, the CSI packet period can be adapted to the changes, thereby improving the CSI transmissions over the link given the most current conditions.
