Abstract: In an embodiment, a method for signaling radio bearer and handling of control plane data transmission and reception for a 6G network architecture is disclosed. The method includes a flexible and simple network function for 6G providing a degree of freedom for network function placement due to cloudification and virtualization of network functions. The method further includes a network architecture for 6G where any network node communicates with any other network node being at RAN or core network function enabling a single anchor for the UE to exchange control signaling with network. The method further enables this new network architecture for 6G with design of a signaling radio bearer which is required to communicate between network and UE. The method further defined the procedure for handling of control plane message for transmission and reception between UE and network entity.

Abstract: An example security processing method includes receiving data packets at a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer from an upper layer and parsing header information of each of the data packets to determine a length of each of the plurality of headers within the corresponding header information and whether a security header is present or absent in the corresponding data packets. The method further includes identifying corresponding header information of the data packets in which the security header is present based on the determination. The method further includes encrypting, based on the determined header lengths, only each of the plurality of headers of the identified corresponding header information in which the security header is present, and thereafter transmitting the one or more data packets to a lower layer after adding information regarding each of the encrypted headers along with their encryption length into a PDCP header.

Abstract: Embodiments herein include a method for concurrently performing asynchronous operations over IPv4 and IPv6 in a mobile device. The method includes capturing a DNS query-pattern of a plurality of DNS queries for a plurality of services of an application in the mobile device. Further, the method includes performing a DNS lookup in a DNS cache, to obtain a DNS resolution over the IPv4 and the IPv6 based on the DNS query-pattern of the plurality of DNS queries for the plurality of services of the application. Further, the method includes storing the DNS resolution based on the DNS lookup in the DNS cache. Further, the method includes triggering a TCP connection using a pre-connected connection descriptor based on a domain name resolution. Further, the method includes storing the pre-connected connection descriptor corresponding to the TCP connection in a connection pool cache.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of Channel Quality Assisted (CQA) transport by a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) receiver in a wireless network. The method includes: monitoring quality of a wireless channel based on at least one of signal quality parameters and wireless channel events; detecting a fluctuation in the quality of the wireless channel; and sending an indication of the fluctuation in the quality of the wireless channel to a TCP transmitter configured to adjust at least one parameter of a transport layer based on the fluctuation in the quality of the wireless channel.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for managing quality of service (QoS) in a communication network. A plurality of data flows related to at least one application associated with a user equipment (UE) is received. At least one data flow that requires QoS management related to the at least one application is identified from the plurality of data flows based on an analysis of at least one of a plurality of attributes related to the at least one application. The at least one data flow is classified into a QoS class associated with the at least one application. The at least one data flow is prioritized based on the QoS class.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining ICN capability of a node/server. The ICN capability is determined based on DNS resource records or TCP options. The DNS resource records are DNS queries that are sent to a DNS server, for determining the ICN capability of the server. The DNS query includes a content to indicate the intent to determine the ICN capability. If the server is having ICN capability, a DNS response is received from the DNS server, which includes the content that is identical to the content in the DNS query. A server is selected, amongst multiple servers, for transferring ICN packets, based on locations and priorities of the multiple servers, indicated in DNS responses, and an order of issuance of DNS queries to the DNS server. TCP options in the header of TCP packets are used for determining ICN capability of the nodes/servers and parameters pertaining to the ICN capability.
