A system and method is provided for performing lossless switching in a redundant multicast network. An exemplary method includes receiving a primary media stream and a redundant media stream over different forwarding network paths by network ports of a receiver communicatively coupled to an A/V device. Furthermore, the receiver outputs media data of the media streams to the A/V device to be presented thereon. In response to a control signal to switch the receiver to a new primary media stream, the method disconnected either the primary ort the redundant media streams from the respective network port of the receiver receiving that stream. Furthermore, the method includes controlling the disconnected network port to receive the new primary media stream and then outputting media data of the new primary media stream to the A/V device to be presented thereon.

A communication protocol provides improved bidirectional communication performance between a wireless stereo headset (12) and a host device (19). The communication protocol provides communication paths between the host device (19) and each ear piece (12a, 12b) of the wireless stereo headset (12), as well as a communication path (17) between the two ear pieces (12a, 12b). In addition to receiving audio information from the host device (19), each ear piece (12a, 12b) may request audio information from the other ear piece (12b, 12a), thus obtaining path diversity in the downlink. One ear piece (12a, 12b) may acknowledge the host device (10) for a correctly received packet, which the other ear piece (12a, 12b) missed, avoiding retransmissions. The ear pieces (12a, 12b) may exchange picked-up voice content to send to the host device (19), providing for path diversity in the uplink.

A method for data processing of frame receiving of an interconnection protocol and a storage device, for use in a first device linkable to a second device according to the interconnection protocol. The method includes: in processing of frames originating from the second device and received by the first device: while sending data contained in a first frame to a network layer from a data link layer, pre-fetching symbols of a second frame; and after the data contained in the first frame are sent to the network layer and the symbols of the second frame are pre-fetched, sending data contained in the second frame to the network layer. Upon receipt of back-to-back frames, the efficiency of the frame receiving at the data link layer is enhanced.

Embodiments of this application provide a conflict resolving method and a terminal device. When uplink transmission conflicts with sidelink transmission in time, the terminal device can resolve the data transmission conflict based on a ProSe per-packet priority (PPPP) of data on a sidelink and a limit, thereby satisfying data transmission requirements in Release 15 and subsequent Releases. The method is applied to terminal-to-terminal communication. A terminal device needs to transmit sidelink data on M first-type carriers and transmit uplink data on N second-type carriers, and M and N are positive integers. The method includes: determining, by the terminal device based on a PPPP of the sidelink data transmitted on the M first-type carriers and a first limit, to preferentially transmit the sidelink data on some or all of the M first-type carriers, or to preferentially transmit the uplink data on some or all of the N second-type carriers.

In one embodiment, a method is performed. A device may include an interface in communication with a network. The device may determine whether an all-active multi-homed ethernet segment (ES) associated with the interface is enabled. On a condition that an all-active multi-homed ES is enabled, the device may determine an ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) designated forwarder (DF) state of the all-active multi-homed ES. If the all-active multi-homed ES is enabled and has an ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) designated forwarder (DF) state, the device may enter a protocol independent multicast (PIM) designated router (DR) state. If an all-active multi-homed ES is enabled and does not have an EVPN DF state, the device may enter a PIM non-DR state.

A machine-implemented method for use at a destination node for transferring data from a source node, the method comprising: establishing one or more connections with the source node; sending to the source node a request for a data stream, the request including control information to be applied at the source node, the control information including a number of degrees of freedom (DoFs) or frames to be transmitted across each of the one or more connections; and receiving one or more coded frames through the data stream over the one or more connections.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for enabling an application function to influence access traffic steering, switching, splitting control are described. In one example aspect, a wireless communication method includes transmitting a request from an application function to a network function to enable a creation or an update of a policy or a rule for traffic routing. The request includes one or more parameters indicating traffic routing information for one or more user devices. The one or more parameters comprise at least an access type preference for the one or more user devices. The method also includes receiving a response from the network function indicating the creation or the update of the policy or the rule for traffic routing.

A communication device is installed on a moving body and capable of communicating with an external device via a plurality of communication lines. The communication device includes a controller configured to transmit streaming data to the external device via at least one of the plurality of communication lines. The controller determines whether or not prediction accuracy of a line quality of each of the plurality of communication lines at a moving body position being a position of the moving body satisfies an allowable condition. When the prediction accuracy of the line quality at the moving body position does not satisfy the allowable condition, the controller transmits, at the moving body position, same packets of the streaming data in parallel via the plurality of communication lines to the external device.

An in-vehicle communication system includes a plurality of in-vehicle devices each being connected to an Ethernet network and a CAN (Controller Area Network). Each of the plurality of in-vehicle devices transmits and receives information to and from another in-vehicle device via the Ethernet network and the CAN. At least one of the plurality of in-vehicle devices is able to transmit the same information to the Ethernet network and the CAN in parallel.
