A method for method for managing a computer network is proposed, which comprises: performing data collection configuration for at least one network node of the computer network belonging to a set of one or more network nodes corresponding to a first depth level of a routing tree, the data collection configuration comprising: receiving respective first configuration data from at least one child node in the routing tree of the at least one network node of the computer network, wherein the at least child node corresponds to a second depth level of the routing tree which immediately follows the first depth level in a sequence of depth levels of the routing tree, and generating second configuration data based on the received first configuration data.

The present invention relates to a Zigbee or other multi-hop network that can become a bottleneck for certain applications, e.g. entertainment streaming to (multiple) areas in the areas (e.g. at home) where hopping is needed. By locally utilizing an temporary gateway (50) being present right in a data-hungry area, the overall performance across the network can be improved. Using this temporary gateway (50), (part of) the data can be routed 5 directly to/from the destination/source nodes (10, 40) thus freeing up capacity in the remainder of the network.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an open radio access network (O-RAN) distributed unit (O-DU) may generate, at an O-DU application that executes on the O-DU, a first message that does not make use of an O-DU accelerator of the O-DU that is in-line with the O-DU application. The O-DU may transmit, from the O-DU application to an O-RAN radio unit (O-RU), the first message via a passthrough of the O-DU accelerator, wherein the first message does not make use of the O-DU accelerator based at least in part on a payload of the first message being transferred unchanged by the O-DU accelerator to the O-RU. Numerous other aspects are described.

A wireless access node serves wireless User Equipment (UEs) and wireless Integrated Access and Backhaul Mobile Terminations (IAB MTs). A radio exchanges access communications with the UEs over a frequency channel. The radio receives an IAB request from one of the IAB MTs, and in response, a controller allocates the frequency channel into a UE subchannel and an MT subchannel. The radio now exchanges access communications with the UEs over the UE subchannel and exchanges backhaul communications with the wireless IAB MT over the MT subchannel. The controller reallocates the frequency channel when an IAB MT is added to give the new IAB MT its own MT subchannel. The controller reallocates the frequency channel when an IAB MT is removed to increase the size of the UE subchannel.

Systems and methods described include receiving traffic associated with a multi-access edge computing (MEC) application hosted at a MEC network; determining an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the MEC application, wherein the IP address indicates a priority of the traffic associated with the MEC application; modifying a header of the traffic to include the IP address associated with the MEC application; transmitting the traffic to a wireless station; and routing the traffic based on the priority associated with the MEC application.

A mobile accelerator system includes point of presences (POPs) that includes an entry POP. The entry POP receives a query to a content server from a mobile device via a dedicated transport channel. The entry POP determines a direct connection score for a direct connection between the mobile device and the content server that does not traverse the mobile accelerator system. The entry POP determines a POP connection score for a connection between the mobile device and the content server through the entry POP and a candidate exit POP. The entry POP determines a dynamic path ranking based on the direct connection score, the POP connection score, and other POP connection score(s) associated with other candidate exit POP(s). The entry POP determines at least a portion of a dynamic path between the mobile device based on the dynamic path ranking and routes data transfers through that dynamic path.
