Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a communication method applied to a first node includes: receiving first information from a second node, wherein the first information comprises an available space size in a first buffer space of the second node, the first buffer space is for buffering a data packet that is to be transmitted through a first path, the first path is a primary path for transmitting the data packet, and the second node is a next-hop node of the first node on the primary path; and in response to the available space size in the first buffer space being less than or equal to a first threshold, determining to transmit the data packet through a third node, wherein the third node is a next-hop node of the first node on a backup path for transmitting the data packet.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods applied to an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node. An example method includes receiving configuration information for setup of a distributed unit (DU) part of the IAB node and determining, based on a manner of receiving the configuration information, that a master node of the IAB node or a secondary node of the IAB node is a donor node of the IAB node.

Abstract: The invention provides a force stimulation loading device and a working method thereof, the force stimulation loading device comprises: a containing body, a stretching mechanism and a twisting mechanism; the containing body is suitable for containing a gel encapsulating cardiomyocytes, and is made of a non-rigid material; the stretching mechanism is suitable for stretching or squeezing the containing body from opposite sides of the containing body to apply a stretching or squeezing force to the gel; the twisting mechanism is suitable for twisting the containing body to apply a twisting stress to the gel; the force stimulation loading device of the present invention is capable of simultaneously applying the stretching or squeezing force and the twisting stress to the gel encapsulating the cardiomyocytes through the stretching mechanism and the twisting mechanism, that is, applying the stretching or squeezing force and the twisting stress to the cardiomyocytes at the same time.
