An apparatus for monitoring a performance of an Ethernet data stream, EDS, said apparatus comprising: an evaluation unit adapted to evaluate sync headers and block type fields of line code vectors of the Ethernet data stream, EDS; and a counter unit adapted to increment at least one performance counter in response to the evaluated sync header and the evaluated block type field of each line code vector of the Ethernet data stream, EDS.

A method for determining two bits errors in transmission of 128 bits and the device for realization of this method is provided. By the method and device, the two error bits transferred bits can be determined and corrected by using least bits in operation. Therefore, the amount of data in transmission is increased with a least quantity and thus the transmission quality is not affected.

The described technology is generally directed towards adaptively changing which transmission scheme a user equipment is to use based on a Doppler metric (e.g. Doppler frequency) as evaluated against a threshold Doppler value. A network instructs a user equipment to use a Rank-1 precoder cycling transmission scheme if the Doppler metric of user equipment is above a threshold value, or to use a closed loop MIMO transmission scheme if the user equipment has a Doppler metric below the threshold value. The network can instruct the user equipment via a suitable message, or by switching off TPMI and notifying the user equipment thereof.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique of fusing a 5G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system with an IoT technology and a system thereof.

The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for inserting an index into a code block as a unit in which a channel code is executed and transmitting the same.

The invention provides a body-worn monitor featuring a processing system that receives a digital data stream from an ECG system. A cable houses the ECG system at one terminal end, and plugs into the processing system, which is worn on the patient's wrist like a conventional wristwatch. The ECG system features: i) a connecting portion connected to multiple electrodes worn by the patient; ii) a differential amplifier that receives electrical signals from each electrode and process them to generate an analog ECG waveform; iii) an analog-to-digital converter that converts the analog ECG waveform into a digital ECG waveform; and iv) a transceiver that transmits a digital data stream representing the digital ECG waveform (or information calculated from the waveform) through the cable and to the processing system. Different ECG systems, typically featuring three, five, or twelve electrodes, can be interchanged with one another.

Various embodiments disclosed herein provide techniques for deciding when to use FEC to transmit a message between node devices in a mesh network. In various embodiments, a method includes receiving, by a communication application executing on a first node of a mesh network, a message; determining, by the communication application, a second node in the mesh network to transmit the message to, the second node being a neighbor of the first node; determining, by the communication application based on a history of forward error correction (FEC) and non-FEC transmissions with the second node, that FEC or non-FEC should be used to transmit the message; and transmitting, by the communication application, in response to determining that FEC or non-FEC should be used to transmit the message, the message to the second node using FEC or non-FEC.

Embodiments herein maximize frame usage by selectively arranging the data within the frame thereby giving the transmitting processor additional time generate and transmit the data within the frame without increasing the time gap G of the frame and without increasing the overall length of the frame. Further, the selective arrangement also gives the receiving processor additional time to process the data of the frame and send Ack/Nack information regarding the success/failure of the processing without increasing the time gap G of the frame and without increasing the overall length of the frame. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
