Abstract: At least partly different values are used for a transmission parameter—e.g., modulation and coding or repetition count—between an initial transmission and a retransmission.

Abstract: Techniques of performing a dynamic link adaptation protocol and specifically providing a channel quality indicator, CQI, are disclosed.

Abstract: Method carried out in a User Equipment (1), UE, for controlling uplink transmission of data to a base station (110) of a wireless network (100), comprising: transmitting (806), to the base station, a buffer status report (85), BSR, indicative of a buffer data level value; transmitting (806), to the base station, information (86) indicative of packet arrival rate of data entering the transmit buffer; receiving (811) uplink resource information (87) from the base station, in response to the BSR and said information; and transmitting (812) data (88) from the buffer using the received resource information.

Abstract: A method of operating a wireless communication device (101) includes, when operating in a connected mode (301), prior to a transition (309) to a disconnected mode (302, 303): receiving, from a communications network (100), at least one downlink message (4021, 4011) comprising configuration information indicative of at least one configuration of a sporadically-on transmission (900) of a reference signal (901, 4001). The method also includes, when operating in the disconnected mode (302, 303) in accordance with a discontinuous reception cycle (390): monitoring for the reference signal (901, 4001) sporadically transmitted by the communications network (100) in accordance with the at least one configuration. The reference signal (901, 4001) is suitable for maintaining synchronization in a further communication with the communications network (100) during an on-period (396) of the discontinuous reception cycle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a soft robot is provided. In one system, a robotic device includes a flexible body having a fluid chamber, where a portion of the flexible body includes an elastically extensible material and a portion of the flexible body is strain limiting relative to the elastically extensible material. The robotic device can further include a pressurizing inlet in fluid communication with the fluid chamber, and a pressurizing device in fluid communication with the pressurizing inlet, the pressurizing device including a reaction chamber configured to accommodate a gas-producing chemical reaction for providing pressurized gas to the pressurizing inlet.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for routing traffic in a packet data network (PDN). A method includes determining whether the mobile device has an active long-lived data traffic session over an original PDN connection between the mobile device and a first PDN gateway (P-GW); if the mobile device has an active long-lived data traffic session, then routing any new long-lived data traffic session over the original PDN connection; and if the mobile device does not have an active long-lived data traffic session, then routing any new long-lived data traffic session over a location-based PDN connection established based at least in part on a current location of the mobile device. In other words, the mobile device initiates and maintains all long-lived data sessions (for which service continuity is essential) to only one PDN connection.
