Abstract: A video encoding device (e.g., a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) may transmit an encoded frame with a frame sequence number using a transmission protocol. The video encoding device, an application on the video encoding device, and/or a protocol layer on the encoding device may detect a packet loss by receiving an error notification. The packet loss may be detected at the MAC layer. The packet loss may be signaled using spoofed packets, such as a spoofed NACK packet, a spoofed XR packet, or a spoofed ACK packet. A lost packet may be retransmitted at the MAC layer (e.g., by the encoding device or another device on the wireless path). Packet loss detection may be performed in uplink operations and/or downlink operations, and/or may be performed in video gaining applications via the cloud. The video encoding device may generate and send a second encoded frame based on the error notification.

Abstract: An illustrative orchestration system is configured to provide, to a user equipment (UE) device communicatively coupled to a federation of compute clusters, cluster selection data for a subset of compute clusters from the federation of compute clusters. The cluster selection data is configured to facilitate the UE device in characterizing the compute clusters of the subset with respect to a service optimization policy. The orchestration system is further configured to receive, from the UE device, an orchestration request indicative of a compute cluster selected by the UE device based on the characterizing of the compute clusters of the subset. The orchestration system is configured to then orchestrate, in response to the orchestration request, fulfillment of a service request to be performed by the selected compute cluster for the UE device. Corresponding methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.

If the first time interval is less than a threshold time interval, the processor is to: signal, through the wireless station, to the UE device to be in a connected state; execute the task; and send a result of the execution, through the wireless station, to the UE device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed to perform rate adaptation in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU may receive an encoded data stream, which may be encoded according to a Dynamic Adaptive HTTP Streaming (DASH) standard. The WTRU may request and/or receive the data stream from a content server. The WTRU may monitor and/or receive a cross-layer parameter, such as a physical layer parameter, a RRC layer parameter, and/or a MAC layer parameter (e.g., a CQI, a PRB allocation, a MRM, or the like). The WTRU may perform rate adaption based on the cross-layer parameter. For example, the WTRU may set the CE bit of an Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) field based on the cross-layer parameter. The WTRU may determine to request the data stream encoded at a different rate based on the cross-layer parameter, the CE bit, and/or a prediction based on the cross-layer parameter.

Abstract: An exemplary user equipment (“UE”) device provides a service request to an orchestration system associated with a federation of compute clusters available to fulfill the service request. The UE device also identifies a service optimization policy associated with a user preference for balancing performance priorities during fulfillment of the service request. In response to the service request, the UE device receives cluster selection data from the orchestration system. Based on the cluster selection data, the UE device characterizes compute clusters, within a subset of compute clusters represented in the cluster selection data, with respect to the performance priorities. Based on the service optimization policy and the characterization of compute clusters in the subset, the UE device selects a compute cluster from the subset to fulfill the service request. The UE device then provides an orchestration request indicative of the selected compute cluster to the orchestration system.
