Publication number: 20230412516Abstract: Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products that may be implemented in wireless communications. In one representative method, the WTRU may send one or more age of information (AoI) preferences for a traffic flow to a network entity, and the WTRU may receive one or more AoI rules for the traffic flow from the network entity. The WTRU may receive a packet associated with the traffic flow, and the received packet may include an indication of AoI of the packet. The WTRU may send one or more additional AoI preferences to the network entity, such as upon determining that any of the AoI preferences and/or AoI rules are not satisfied based on the indication of AoI. The indication of AoI may correspond to a processing state of the packet along a path in a network and/or to a time since the packet was created.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2021Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Chonggang Wang, Shamim Rahman, Xavier De Foy

Publication number: 20180176853Abstract: Wireless channels and timeslots are allocated in a distributed and reactive manner by network devices. A source device sends to neighbor devices a track discovery request indicating a destination and data bandwidth / channel and timeslot requirements. The neighbors conditionally forward the message until it reaches the destination device. The forwarded message includes information about the devices traversed by the message. Messages will not be forwarded if the recipient lacks sufficient resources to accommodate the data bandwidth requirements. The destination selects a path to be a communications track based upon characteristics of the one or more paths by which the request was received, and sends a reply back to the source device along the selected path. Once established, tracks may be kept alive, updated, and/or repaired via messaging among the devices along the track.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2016Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Zhuo CHEN, Chonggang WANG, Xu Li, Quang LY, Shamim RAHMAN, Vinod Kumar CHOYI, Rocco DI GIROLAMO, Lijun DONG
