Generating a reconfiguration control message to transmit to the one or more UEs to signal the modification of the at least one parameter. The reconfiguration control message is one of a reconfigured downlink control information (DCI) that modifies an activation DCI or a redesigned format for DCI or MAC-CE.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may obtain forward error correction (FEC) information associated with an application data unit (ADU). The UE may adjust a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) characteristic, a radio link control (RLC) characteristic, or a physical layer hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) characteristic for transmitting a packet associated with the ADU based at least in part on the FEC information. Numerous other aspects are described.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for waveform indication using Downlink Control Information (“DCI”). One apparatus in a mobile communication network includes a processor and a transceiver that monitors for DCI outside a Discontinuous Reception (“DRX”) Active Time, where the DCI contains a waveform indicator. The processor determines a waveform type for a next occurring DRX Active Time, and the transceiver receives a downlink transmission on a physical downlink channel during the next occurring DRX Active Time using the determined waveform.

A Radio Network Node (RNN) and a method therein for providing improved robustness of a radio link between the RNN and a wireless device. The RNN and the wireless device operate in a communications network. The RNN transmits, towards the wireless device, a transmission with a first transmission mode associated with a first level of coverage extension. When a first period of time has elapsed, the RNN transmits, towards the wireless device, the transmission using a second transmission mode associated with a second level of coverage extension. The second level of coverage extension is higher than the first level of coverage extension.

A method for client steering in a multiple access point (AP) network is performed by a controller and comprises the steps of: receiving, from one or more APs, pieces of related information for the client steering; on the basis of the pieces of information, determining a particular candidate BSS for the client steering from among a plurality of BSSs; and transmitting a request message for the client steering to an AP operating the particular candidate BSS.

An optical module includes first circuitry configured to receive data transmitted from a host over an electrical communication link at a first data rate, the data transmitted from the host being either one of PCIe data and CXL data and change a data rate for transmission of data from the optical module, the data transmitted from the optical module being transmitted at a second data rate different from the first data rate. Second circuitry is configured to convert the data transmitted from the host at the first data rate from an electrical format to an optical format for transmission from the optical module at the second data rate and convert data received from an optical receiver at the second data rate from the optical format to the electrical format for transmission from the optical module to the host at the first data rate via the first circuitry.

The invention relates to a method for optimizing a capacity of a communication channel in a communication system comprising at least a transmitter (10), a receiver (11), and the communication channel (12) between the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitter (10) uses a finite set of symbols Ω={ω.sub.1, . . . , ω.sub.N} having respective positions on a constellation, to transmit a message including at least one symbol on said communication channel (11). The communication channel (11) is characterized by a conditional probability distribution ρ.sub.Y|X(y|x), where y is the symbol received at the receiver (12) while x is the symbol transmitted by the transmitter. More particularly, the conditional probability distribution ρ.sub.Y|X(y|x) is obtained, for each possible transmitted symbol x, by a mixture model using probability distributions represented by exponential functions. An optimized input distribution p.sub.x(x) is computed, based on parameters of the mixture model, to define optimized symbols positions and probabilities to be used at the transmitter for optimizing the capacity of the channel.

Techniques are directed to using communication metric data associated with multiple modulation schemes to achieve a link quality metric that is representative of the link as a whole, across the multiple modulation schemes that may be employed on the link. A calculation of a link quality metric may be triggered by a network layer transmission attempt, with communication metrics accumulated at the link layer of the link. A filter used to calculate the link quality metric may be updated based on network layer transmission attempts, based on successful and/or unsuccessful transmissions at a Media Access Control (MAC) layer of the link. More generally, a calculation of link quality may be triggered by a higher layer transmission attempt while being calculated based on transmission attempts at a lower layer of the link.

In view of the communication applications, the waveform selection can be, at least in part, adapted based on the extent to which data is to be embedded.
