A method of determining hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) resource of a UL subframe for an advanced communication device comprises determining a first new association set of the UL subframe according to an association set of the UL subframe of a first UL/DL configuration of a legacy communication device; configuring a mapping between at least one sequence index of the UL subframe of the first UL/DL configuration and the first new association set according to the first UL/DL configuration; and determining the HARQ resource of the UL subframe according to the mapping and the first new association set.

A method and an apparatus for wireless communication is provided. The apparatus configured for time division multiplex (TDM) between time division duplex (TDD) and frequency division duplex (FDD), comprises a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting and receiving a radio signal, and a processor operatively coupled to the RF unit, wherein the processor is configured for transmitting signals via the RF unit based on a scheduling for UL and/or DL, wherein the RF unit receives signal from at least one cell and transmits signal to at least one cell with carrier aggregation, and wherein the processor performs single transmission of signal on uplink and single reception of signal on downlink at one subframe via the RF unit.

A computing device (such as a computer gaming console) uses only a single radio to concurrently communicate with a wireless network access point and wireless client devices such as game controllers or peripherals. To establish and maintain both a high-throughput link with the access point, and a low-latency link with the client device(s), the single Wi-Fi radio of the computing device is configured to periodically switch between a channel used for the high-throughput link and a different channel that is used for the low-latency link-thus implementing a combination of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and time division multiplexing (TDM). The console may use aspects of the Wi-Fi protocol standard to ensure that periodically switching its single radio between the two channels is accomplished while maintaining reliable communication on both channels.

The present invention discloses a data processing method and apparatus based on an automatic identification system, relates to the field of communications network technologies The method comprises: a virtual station container receives data request sent by a poller, and successively checks whether each virtual station in the virtual station container has to-be-sent data in a current timeslot, where the virtual station includes a virtual timeslot allocation logic TAL device; and when a first virtual station has to-be-sent data in the current timeslot, the virtual station container reads the data in the first virtual station, and sends the read data to a transmitter. The method provided by the embodiments of the present invention is applicable to data exchange between an automatic identification system and an external network.

An apparatus for assigning time slots refers to a hierarchical structure when a predetermined number of time slots in one of a plurality of communication cycles is assigned to a communication apparatus, identifies an associated frame whose use status is to be changed to used by the assignment of the predetermined number of time slots for a group managed in a layer corresponding to the requested communication cycle, and makes determination to assign a frame belonging to a group in which a number of time slots, in the associated frame, whose use status is changed to used is smaller, to the communication apparatus.

A bandwidth allocation and monitoring method may divide available bandwidth on a shared communication medium into a plurality of discrete tones that can be individually allocated to modems on an as-needed basis. The effective modulation rate that a particular modem can use for each discrete tone can be monitored over time using a schedule of pilot tones transmitted from the modems on different tones at different times. The schedule may define representative pilot tones, in which case effective modulation rates for neighboring tones may be inferred from a determined effective modulation rate of a pilot tone.
