Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes detecting a first reference signal received from a user equipment (UE) in a reference scheduled transmission burst including a plurality of contiguous transmission time intervals (TTIs) received over a shared radio frequency spectrum band; identifying a reference TTI in which the first reference signal is received; determining a contention window size usable by the UE to contend for access to the shared radio frequency spectrum band; and transmitting an indication of the determined contention window size to the UE.

Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for multi-stage segmentation of downlink control information. Downlink control information can arrive at a user equipment on more than one channel, setting up and configuring data channels for different base stations, or data channels for the same base station but where the data channels are in different frequency domains or time domains. The downlink control information segmentation system disclosed herein can determine when downlink control information for the user equipment is common across a plurality of downlink control channels, and ensure that the downlink control information is sent just one time, to avoid redundant data transmissions and increased overhead.

A UE may be operating in a wireless communication network having a UE-centric medium access control layer, and the UE may detect presence of a trigger event to signal a base station of the wireless communication network. The UE may identify one of a plurality of functionalities corresponding to the trigger event, and may generate a chirp signal that includes chirp purpose indicator and a chirp message, wherein the chirp purpose indicator and a format of the chirp message correspond to the identified one of the plurality of functionalities. Accordingly, the UE may transmit the chirp signal having the chirp purpose indicator to the base station, which may provide a chirp response message that includes message contents that relate to the chirp purpose indicator.

Method, apparatus, and systems for reliably transferring Ethernet packet data over a link layer and facilitating fabric-to-Ethernet and Ethernet-to-fabric gateway operations at matching wire speed and packet data rate. Ethernet header and payload data is extracted from Ethernet frames received at the gateway and encapsulated in fabric packets to be forwarded to a fabric endpoint hosting an entity to which the Ethernet packet is addressed. The fabric packets are divided into flits, which are bundled in groups to form link packets that are transferred over the fabric at the Link layer using a reliable transmission scheme employing implicit ACKnowledgements. At the endpoint, the fabric packet is regenerated, and the Ethernet packet data is de-encapsulated. The Ethernet frames received from and transmitted to an Ethernet network are encoded using 64b/66b encoding, having an overhead-to-data bit ratio of 1:32. Meanwhile, the link packets have the same ratio, including one overhead bit per flit and a 14-bit CRC plus a 2-bit credit return field or sideband used for credit-based flow control.

One embodiment of the present invention is a method for a device-to-device (D2D) terminal to transmit and receive a signal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving downlink control information (DCI) comprising resource allocation information; checking the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the DCI by using a D2D radio network temporary identifier (RNTI); and, if there is no error in the result of the CRC check, performing D2D communication on resources denoted in the resource allocation information, wherein if the TPC field of the DCI is a pre-set value, a downlink signal is received from a base station on resources denoted in the resource allocation information.

A network switch to support scalable and flexible access control list (ACL) lookup comprises a packet processing pipeline including a plurality of packet processing units each configured to generate a master key for an ACL lookup request to a memory pool and process a received packet based on ACL search results. The network switch further includes said memory pool including a plurality of memory groups each configured to maintain a plurality of ACL tables to be searched in one or more SRAM memory tiles of the memory group, accept and format the master key generated by the packet processing unit into a compact key based on a bitmap per user configuration, hash the formatted compact key and search the ACL tables stored in the one or more SRAM memory tiles using the formatted compact key, process and provide the ACL search results to the requesting packet processing unit.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transceiving data. A method in which a transmitting terminal transmits data to a receiving terminal in a MIMO system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps: generating a data field containing the data; generating a signal field containing information on the data field; generating a data frame containing the data field and the signal field; and transmitting the data frame to the receiving terminal. According to the present invention, an end of the frame being transmitted is accurately notified to the receiving terminal in a communication system in which the frame is transmitted using MIMO, thereby decoding the frame in a more efficient manner at the receiving terminal.
