The techniques described herein include configuration of channels between devices and service providers at a connectable system platform. For example, a system platform may include a receiver to receive data from a communicatively coupled device. The system platform may include a controller having logic, at least partially comprising hardware logic, to configure communications channels. The communication channels include a communication channel for transmission between the system platform and a service provider to receive the data, and a communication channel for transmission between the system platform and the coupled device. The communication channels are configured based on a context. The context comprises characteristics of the coupled device, content of the data, and security requirements associated with the service provider.

A method intended to aid in the reservation of resources within a packet-switched communication network (CR) comprising a number N of relaying nodes (S1-S4). This method consists i), in determining for some at least of the N nodes (S1-S4) at least one resource reservation plan Pik defined by a plan identifier associated with a stream identifier and at least two ports, and ii) in memorizing for each of the N nodes (S1-S4) the various plans Pik relating to them.

A network interface module can include a housing including a first cavity configured to receive a first network plug having a first dimension. The housing also includes a second cavity within the first cavity, and configured to receive a second network plug having a second dimension that is less than the first dimension. The network interface module can also include a network detection circuit operatively connected to a first terminal within the housing.

Embodiments of an enhanced base station and method for communicating through an enhanced distributed antenna system (eDAS) are generally described herein. The eDAS includes geographically-separated antenna nodes and each of the antenna nodes has a plurality of antenna elements. The base station may perform physical-layer baseband processing for each of the antenna nodes at a centralized processing location, and may cause the antenna nodes to transmit reference signals in accordance with a multiplexing scheme to allow user equipment to perform channel estimation for the antenna elements of any one or more of the antenna nodes. The base station may also cause the antenna nodes to transmit signals having synchronization codes to allow the user equipment to synchronize with the antenna elements of any one or more of the antenna nodes. In some embodiments, the base station may communicate with the antenna nodes over a physical-layer interface.

A mapping relationship between a private network multicast group address, which may be preset to support switching from a default Multicast Distribution Tree (MDT) to a data MDT, and a data group address may be stored in a first PE device. If a private network multi cast data flow corresponding to the mapping relationship satisfies a condition of switching from the default MDT to the data MDT, the first PE device may send a data MDT switch initiation packet including the private network multicast group address and the data group address to a second PE device on the default MDI, so that the second PE device joins the data MDT, a root of which is the first PE device, using the data group address. The first PE device may switch the private network multicast data flow to the data MDT, so that the private network multicast data flow is transmitted on the data MDT.

Provided is a technique related to a terminal apparatus, a base station apparatus, a communication system, a communication method, and an integrated circuit that are capable of efficiently performing device-to-device communication. In a case where a terminal apparatus capable of direct communication between terminal apparatuses starts a timer corresponding to a group index that identifies short-range group communication, to which the terminal apparatus belongs, and the timer expires, switching is performed from a first radio resource allocation method, by which a radio resource to be used for the direct communication is requested to a base station apparatus, to a second radio resource allocation method by which the terminal apparatus selects a radio resource to be used for the direct communication.

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system which is provided to support a higher data transmission rate after 4G communication systems such as LTE. A first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a control unit, an input unit, an output unit and a communication unit. The input unit recognizes occurrence of a touch input for transmitting or receiving contents, and the communication unit, on the basis of the received signal strength of a search signal or a response signal received from at least one other electronic device, transmits the contents to the at least one other electronic device or receives the contents from the at least one other electronic device.

Some examples herein disclose identifying a service function chain based on a switch address from a packet. The examples disclose modifying the switch address to an address corresponding to a service function based on the identified service function chain. The examples also disclose forwarding the packet to the service function according to the modified switch address.

Systems and methods for communication. A network abstraction layer (NAL) is built on a public Internet; and a network virtualization layer (NVL) is built on the NAL.

Systems and methods for multi-channel signal processing by a series of single processing core logic circuitries in time-slicing. A first logic circuitry is configured to process multiple data streams from multiple channels in a first cycle-based time-sliced schedule. A time slice in the first cycle-based time-sliced schedule comprises a predetermined number of clock cycles allocated to a corresponding data stream. A second logic circuitry is coupled to the first logic circuitry and configured to process the data streams in a first fragment-based time-sliced schedule. A time slice in the first fragment-based time-sliced schedule is determined based on a predetermined boundary associated with the data fragment and is allocated to process a data fragment of the data streams.
