Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications network may set priorities for cell groups in dual connectivity. A higher priority cell group may reserve slots and indicate the reserved slots to the lower priority cell group, for example by a backhaul connection. The high priority cell group may also indicate additional, non-reserved slots, which the lower priority cell group may reserve or use for scheduling. One of the cell groups may transmit a slot format indication (SFI) to a user equipment (UE) in the dual connectivity to indicate the slot reservations. In some cases, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing parameter may be based on a number of reserved slots. In some cases, power control may be varied based on whether the UE is capable of simultaneous uplink and downlink transmission.

Abstract: A vascular stent (100) comprises a plurality of wave loops. In its natural state, in two of the wave loops which are adjacent in a group, a part of a wave crest of a lower layer wave loop are in a restrained connection with a part of a wave trough of an upper layer wave loop; the other part of the wave crest of the lower layer wave loop passes through the other part of the wave trough of the upper layer wave loop, and the other part of the wave crest and the other part of the wave trough are in a non-contact mutually-suspended connection. Some of the wave crests and wave troughs of the vascular stent (100) are in the non-contact mutually-suspended connection rather than the restrained connection, so that the maximum flexibility is provided to the stent, and meanwhile, the overall stability of the stent is guaranteed. The stent (100) can maintain a good shape during both implantation and the release process, so that safety during release is ensured.

A sum of provisioned and additional capacities associated with partitions on a computing node may be calculated. The computing node may be ranked, relative to other computing nodes, for maintaining new or relocated partitions based on the sum.
