Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Some wireless communications systems may support a determination of user equipment (UE) capabilities, such as a category or a coverage level for broadcast or multicast content. In some cases, a radio interface may be configured to account for an indicated capability of a target UE. For example, a base station may receive an indication of a capability of a particular targeted UE. The capability of the targeted UE may be specified by a service provider to deliver multicast or broadcast content, and subsequently associated with a radio interface between the base station and the target UE. The radio interface may then be configured based on the indicated capability of the target UE, for example, by configuring a transport block size or bandwidth. The base station may then transmit broadcast or multicast content to the UE using the configured radio interface.

A method for indicating preemption in a communication system is disclosed. A method for operating a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, information indicating a first resource area, to which a preemption-capable resource belongs, for transmission of first data; receiving resource allocation information of second data from the base station; performing a monitoring operation for detecting a PI indicating a preempted resource for transmission of the first data in the first resource area, when the first resource area overlaps with a second resource area indicated by the resource allocation information; and performing decoding on the basis of the detected PI. Therefore, the performance of the communication system may be improved.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, predicting opportunities for a mobile communication device to access a network via available pathways during a first time period according to a history of network connectivity of the mobile communication device, selecting a first pathway of the available pathways according to the opportunities that are predicted for the mobile communication device to access the network via the available pathways during the first time period, and directing transmission of first data to the mobile communication device via the first pathway during the first time period, wherein a presence of a second data at the mobile communication device enables an application to access the first data at the mobile communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A data distribution system and method are described herein to improve the distribution of market information to subscribing client devices. Market information updates are provided to subscribing devices over a communication link every time a change in the market occurs. If a bandwidth limitation is reached on the communication link, the preferred embodiments switch to a second mode of transmission such that the market information updates are provided only at predetermined intervals. The preferred embodiment monitors the bandwidth consumption to determine what mode of transmission to apply, and in response, it can dynamically change between modes of transmission. By dynamically adjusting the mode of transmission to comport with the current network bandwidth, the preferred embodiments may provide a network friendly, data intensive, and fast response market information feed.

A management system implemented in a cloud computing environment for automatically managing a plurality of Wi-Fi access points in a network can receive information from each of the plurality of Wi-Fi access points. The system can analyze the received information from each Wi-Fi access point to determine at least one operation condition of at least one Wi-Fi access and determine at least one new operation setting for the at least one Wi-Fi access point based on the analyzed information. The system can remotely configure the at least one Wi-Fi access point based on the at least one new operation setting.

An arrangement for a wireless communication device is disclosed. The arrangement is adapted to set up an application connection between an application of an application layer of the device and a remote server. The device comprises a modem subsystem (comprising the application layer, a remote socket client and a remote socket API between the application layer and the remote socket client), an application processor (comprising a remote socket server and an IP stack, wherein the application processor is associated with a wireless communication access unit and the IP stack is adapted to connect to a communication network using the access unit), and a remote socket protocol communication channel between the remote socket client and the remote socket server. The application is adapted to send an application connection setup request to the remote socket client via the remote socket API. The remote socket client, the remote socket server and the remote socket protocol communication channel are collectively adapted to use a remote socket protocol to set up a remote socket connection between the remote socket client and the remote server via the remote socket server and via the IP stack, using the remote socket protocol communication channel and the wireless communication access unit, and to establish the application connection based on the remote socket connection. The remote socket client is further adapted to (in response to the application connection being established) send an application connection setup response to the application via the remote socket API.

In some examples, an apparatus may be usable in a first network and configurable to operate within a proximity of a second network that communicates traffic that interferes with data communication in the first network. The apparatus may include a calculation module configured to calculate a packet loss rate. The apparatus may include a determination module coupled to the calculation module and configured to determine whether the packet loss rate exceeds a particular threshold level. The apparatus may include a preamble module coupled to the determination module and configured to dynamically adjust a number of protective bytes included in a packet preamble in response to a determination by the determination module that the packet loss rate exceeds the particular threshold level. The protective bytes may be effective to reduce packet corruption due to turnaround time collisions between packets communicated in the first network and traffic communicated in the second network.

Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting a reference signal by a base station in a mobile communication system. The method includes generating, at the base station, information for a non zero transmission power reference signal including at least one resource element; generating, at the base station, bitmap information indicating a zero transmission power reference signal; and transmitting, at the base station, the information for the non zero transmission power reference signal and the bitmap information to a terminal.

Various approaches discussed herein enable establishing a wireless data connection between one or more devices. A signal to noise ratio (SNR) is determined for the wireless connection, based on an estimate of internal noise associated with a wireless networking component. Another SNR determination is then made, using data such as a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index value corresponding to the connection, and the difference between the two SNR determinations may be utilized to determine a noise estimate that takes both internal and external noise into account and is utilized as part of baseband signal demodulation.
