Abstract: An application server side network predicts, based at least on a feedback of traffic latency, a congestion in a traffic between the application server side network and at least one user equipment (UE) of one or more UEs in a radio access network (RAN) of the application server side network based on a total RAN network load and traffics between the application server side network and the one or more UEs. The application server side network controls the congestion in response to an increase in a queueing delay in the traffic between the application server side network and the at least one UE as well as an increase in a data rate and quality of service (QoS) parameters of the traffic, with the traffic including an extended reality (XR) traffic associated with an XR client-side application executed on the at least one UE.

The network also transmits a report of failure or a request for retransmission to the UE in an event of a network transmission failure.

Abstract: Various solutions pertaining to reporting of best wideband (WB) channel quality indicator (CQI) in mobile communications are described. An apparatus implemented in a user equipment (UE) calculates a value of a modified wideband channel quality indicator (WB-CQI) with respect to a wideband based on CQI values of a subset of subbands of a plurality of subbands in the wideband.

In calculating the value of the WB-CQI, the apparatus excludes one or more subbands from the plurality of subbands to result in the subset of subbands used in calculating the value of the WB-CQI. A respective CQI value of each of the excluded one or more subbands is lower than a respective CQI value of each of the subset of subbands.
