Systems and methods for managing communication strategies between implanted medical devices. Methods include temporal optimization relative to one or more identified conditions in the body. A selected characteristic, such as a signal representative or linked to a biological function, is assessed to determine its likely impact on communication capabilities, and one or more communication strategies may be developed to optimize intra-body communication.

A method for transmitting feedback information includes receiving, by a terminal device, trigger signaling used for triggering transmission of feedback information for a plurality of downlink channel groups by the terminal device, wherein the plurality of downlink channel groups comprise a first downlink channel group and a second downlink channel group, and a group number of the first downlink channel group is smaller than a group number of the second downlink channel group; and generating, by the terminal device based on the trigger signaling, a feedback codebook comprising the feedback information for the plurality of downlink channel groups, wherein the feedback information corresponding to the second downlink channel group is appended to the feedback information corresponding to the first downlink channel group in the feedback codebook.

Techniques are disclosed for an adaptive and causal random linear network coding (AC-RLNC) with forward error correction (FEC) for a communication channel with delayed feedback. An example methodology implementing the techniques includes transmitting one or more coded packets in a communication channel, determining a channel behavior of the channel, and adaptively adjusting a transmission of a subsequent coded packet in the first channel based on the determined channel behavior. The communication channel may be a point-to-point communication channel between a sender and a receiver. The channel behavior may be determined based on feedback acknowledgements provided by the receiver. The subsequent coded packet may be a random linear combination of one or more information packets.

A communication apparatus for executing communication by establishing connections with another communication apparatus using a plurality of frequency channels transmits or receives, while control communication for collectively controlling communication in the connections using at least two of the plurality of frequency channels is executed, a frame for ending the control communication to or from the other communication apparatus. The frame can include at least two fields each storing information concerning a frequency channel, use of which is stopped in the control communication.

A method for transmitting feedback information includes receiving, by a terminal device, trigger signaling which is used for triggering transmission of feedback information for at least one downlink transmission channel by the terminal device and which is used for indicating a total number of bits of feedback information to be transmitted, wherein the feedback information to be transmitted comprises the feedback information for the at least one downlink transmission channel.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and device for performing communication. The method comprises: determining a target transmission pattern from a set of candidate transmission patterns, wherein each of the candidate transmission patterns contains a DL transmission part and/or a UL transmission part, and the candidate transmission patterns differ from one another in terms of time durations of the respective DL transmission parts and/or the UL transmission parts; and performing communication between a network device and a terminal device by using the target transmission pattern.

Methods and systems are provided for cooperating routers in communication networks. The cooperating routers conduct a handshake to exchange information with respect to “cooperation types” which they are capable of performing and/or are configured to perform. In an exemplary “emergency connection” cooperation type, one cooperating router may use the ISP connection of another cooperating router to send and receive packets. In an exemplary “bandwidth sharing” cooperation type, one cooperating router may make excess bandwidth available for use by other cooperating routers. In an exemplary “latency optimization” cooperation type, one cooperating router may use another cooperating router to transmit duplicates of packets or to implement suppression techniques.

A method and apparatus for enabling an UE to selecting acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) resources from a subset of a gNB resource pool. The example method may receive, from an gNB, a radio resource control (RRC) configuration indicating a UE-specific resource set that is a subset of a gNB resource pool. The UE may determine one or more ACK/NACK resources from the UE-specific resource set for an upcoming physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). In some aspects, the UE may determine the one or more ACK/NACK resources based on receiving, from the gNB, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a corresponding ACK/NACK resource configuration. In other aspects, the RRC may contain multiple resource subsets and the UE may determine the one or more ACK/NACK resources based on determining a size of a payload for a UCI to be transmitted on the PUCCH. The aspects may thus enable dynamic ACK/NACK resource allocation.
