Abstract: A user equipment (UE) implements improved communication methods which enable uplink (UL) transmissions consistent with an UL timeline. The UE may have a transmit duty cycle and may transmit acknowledge/negative acknowledge messages to a base station according to the transmit duty cycle. Additionally, the UE may be configured to determine signal-to-interference-plus noise ratio (SINR) between the UE and the base station and compare SINR to a threshold. The UE may transmit redundancy versions of data in consecutive sub-frames with a duty cycle of two transmissions per X+1 sub-frames if SINR is equal or above the threshold and redundancy versions using a duty cycle of one transmission per X sub-frames if SINR is below the threshold. Further, the UE may be configured to communicate a number of UL HARQ processes supported by the UE, receive first information in a first sub-frame, and send second information X sub-frames after the first sub-frame.

Abstract: A packet quota value, which indicates a maximum number of network packets that a network appliance processes before switching to a different task, is modified. Log data, which includes multiple log entries spanning a time interval, is accessed. Each log entry includes a processing time that indicates how much time the network appliance spent performing network traffic tasks before switching to the different task. The log data is analyzed.

Responsive to the analysis indicating that the current state of network traffic is lighter than a minimum state of network traffic that was observed during the time interval, the packet quota value is decreased.

Abstract: A remote procedure call chain is provided that replaces multiple consecutive remote procedure calls to multiple servers from a client by allowing a client to specify multiple functions to be performed consecutively at multiple servers in a single remote procedure call chain. The remote procedure call chain is executed by a sequence of multiple servers. Each server executes a service function and a chaining function of the remote procedure call chain.

After the last service function is performed, the last server in the sequence of servers sends the results of the executed service functions to the client that originated the remote procedure call chain.

Abstract: A radio device/user equipment determines that a later received grant of bundled uplink resources collides with an earlier received grant of bundled uplink resources. The earlier received grant has associated with it an active re-transmission process. In response to that collision determination, at least a re-transmission (HARQ) buffer associated with the earlier received grant is flushed. In one embodiment all HARQ buffers are flushed; in another the HARQ buffer associated with the earlier received grant is flushed while the one associated with the later received grant is not. Several ways are described to determine whether there is a collision: whether the later received grant aligns with a boundary of the resources granted by the earlier received grant, and whether there is an actual collision among the different HARQ processes. Calculating HARQ process numbers is also described where an offset is used to account for the grants allocating bundled TTIs.

Abstract: In wireless communication networks that use ARQ/HARQ feedback protocols, when a first device receives an apparent HARQ ACK from a second device, the first device may make a new transmission using a HARQ Channel ID whose previous usage was under conditions indicating a likelihood of error in the ACK. When the second device receives the new transmission, the reuse of that HARQ Channel ID in a new transmission rather than a retransmission lets the second device know that its previous NAK transmission was incorrectly received as an ACK.

Abstract: Time division multiplexing (TDM) partitioning is one of the inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) mechanisms considered for a heterogeneous network (HetNet) ICIC in a co-channel deployment. For example, in subframes that are pre-allocated to an evolved Node B (eNB), neighbor eNBs may not transmit, hence interference experienced by served user equipments (UEs) may be reduced. Semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) grants may have various available periodicities, which may not be compatible with TDM partitioning. Therefore, a UE may miss an SPS opportunity that was scheduled for a subframe that was not usable by the UE. Hence, using SPS grants with small periodicities in a heterogeneous network with TDM partitioning may require changes which may include adjusting the periodicities of the SPS grants, rescheduling of uplink SPS messages based on resource partitioning information (RPI), and/or determining RPI based on current SPS grants.

Acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (A/N) information is determined in accordance with the modulation symbol and the N spreading sequences.

Abstract: An error-recovery method to enable error-free message transfer between nodes of a computer network. A first node of the network sends a packet to a second node of the network over a link between the nodes, and the first node keeps a copy of the packet on a sending end of the link until the first node receives acknowledgment from the second node that the packet was received without error. The second node tests the packet to determine if the packet is error free. If the packet is not error free, the second node sets a flag to mark the packet as corrupt. The second node returns acknowledgement to the first node specifying whether the packet was received with or without error. When the packet is received with error, the link is returned to a known state and the packet is sent again to the second node.

When the display unit displays the operation screen and the console section receives from the user the instruction for transmitting the repair request to the external apparatus again, a CPU causes the repair request to be transmitted to the external apparatus.

Abstract: A first node that transmits TCP packets to and receives TCP packets from a second node splits a target TCP packet throughput across multiple consecutive time slots, each slot having a target throughput value. If a current slot's achieved throughput value does not match the current slot's target throughput value, the target throughput value for the current slot and/or a subsequent slot is adjusted. Transmit throughput from the first node to the second node is controlled by transmitting TCP packets from the first node to the second node according to a target throughput value for the current slot. Receive throughput from the second node to the first node is controlled by dynamically calculating an advertised receive window size according to a target throughput value for the current slot and communicating the advertised receive window size to the second node.

Abstract: A broadband powerline communication system makes use of knowledge of the spectrum characteristics of a local radio environment in order to improve system performance. A determination is made of the spectrum characteristics of a radio environment in the vicinity of the broadband powerline communication system that is transmitting data on modulated carrier frequencies. In order to avoid interference, certain ones of the carrier frequencies otherwise used by the broadband powerline communication system may be selectively masked based on the determination. The spectrum characteristics may be determined 1) in advance and used to compile a configuration database comprising frequency masking parameters; 2) by monitoring the local radio environment using the transmitter/receiver nodes of the system; or 3) based upon receipt of an indication from a conflicting user that the user is experiencing interference. Various combinations of these spectrum characteristic determination techniques may also be used.
