Low latency wireless communications may be provided. A client device may be authorized for a first association in response to the client device making a first concurrent association request that may include a first Media Access Control (MAC) address. In response to authorizing the client device for the first association, an Endpoint Identifier (EID) associated with the client device may be registered with a first Routing Locator (RLOC) in a map server, the first RLOC being associated with the first MAC address. The client device may then be authorized for a second association in response to the client device making a second concurrent association request that includes a second MAC address. In response to authorizing the client device for the second association, the EID associated with the client device may be registered with a second RLOC in the map server, the second RLOC being associated with the second MAC address.

A data transmission method of a User Equipment, UE, in a Long Term Evolution, LTE, compliant mobile communications network, and a corresponding UE. The method comprises detecting reconfiguration of a bearer from a split bearer in which uplink Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP, Protocol Data Units, PDUs, are transmitted to both a Master eNB, MeNB, and to a Secondary eNB, SeNB, to a non-split bearer in which uplink PDCP PDUs are transmitted only to the MeNB. If reconfiguration of a bearer from a split bearer to a non-split bearer in which uplink PDCP PDUs are transmitted to the MeNB is detected, the method further comprises initiating retransmission of PDCP PDUs from the first PDCP PDU for which transmission was attempted via the SeNB and for which there has been no confirmation of successful delivery by a protocol layer below the PDCP layer within the UE. The method further comprises retransmitting only PDCP PDUs for which transmission of the PDU was attempted via the SeNB.

Digital communication transmitters, systems, and methods can introduce skew into parallel transmission channels to enhance the performance of forward error correction (FEC) decoders. One illustrative serializer-deserializer (SerDes) transmitter embodiment includes: a block code encoder configured to convert a sequence of input data blocks into a sequence of encoded data blocks; a demultiplexer configured to distribute code symbols from the sequence of encoded data blocks to multiple lanes in a cyclical fashion, the multiple lanes corresponding to parallel transmission channels; a skewer configured to buffer the multiple lanes to provide respective lane delays, the lane delays differing from each other by no less than half an encoded data block period; and multiple drivers, each driver configured to transmit code symbols from one of said multiple lanes on a respective one of said parallel transmission channels.

The disclosure relates to a mobile communication system including: a first transmission path configured to transmit a message according to a first radio access technology; a second transmission path configured to transmit the message according to a second radio access technology; and an encoder configured to encode the message by a code before transmission of the message over the first transmission path and the second transmission path, wherein the code comprises at least two subcodes, and wherein the encoder is configured to encode the message intended for transmission over the first transmission path with a first subcode of the at least two subcodes and to encode the message intended for transmission over the second transmission path with a second subcode of the at least two subcodes.

A data transmission system includes a data transmitter and a data receiver. The data transmitter outputs N-bit transmission data (where N denotes a natural number which is equal to or greater than two). The data receiver receives the N-bit transmission data through N-number of data transmission lines. The data receiver transmits a re-transmission request signal to the data transmitter when the N-bit transmission data inputted to the data receiver are erroneous data. The data transmitter divides the N-bit transmission data in response to the re-transmission request signal and operates in a first data re-transmission mode so that the divided transmission data are resent, together with first ground data, to the data receiver.

Systems and devices can include a first port of a first device coupled to a second port of a second device across a multi-lane link. The first port can augment a data block with error correcting code by distributing error correcting code evenly across each lane of the data block, wherein each lane of the data block includes a same number of error correcting code. The first port can transmit the data block with the per-lane error correcting code to the second port across the multi-lane link. The second port can determine error correcting code based on the error correcting code bits received in the data block, and perform error correction on the symbols of the data block based on the error correcting code received.

A timer for processing data blocks is proposed for a receiver of a mobile communications system. If the timer is not running, the timer is started based a data block. The data block has a sequence number higher than a sequence number of another data block that was first expected to be received. If the timer is stopped or expires, the timer is based on a highest sequence number of a data block among data blocks that cannot be delivered to a higher entity. The timer can be used to prevent a stall condition in mobile communications.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method of a terminal includes receiving packet duplication data radio bearer (DRB) configuration information from a base station, receiving a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) including information indicating whether packet duplication has been activated from the base station, and determining whether to activate a packet duplication bearer based on the packet duplication DRB configuration information and the MAC CE.

According to certain embodiments, a method in a wireless device (110) includes transmitting a protocol data unit (PDU) or segment of a PDU on a first link and transmitting the PDU or the segment of the PDU on a second link. One or more retransmissions of the PDU or the segment of the PDU are scheduled on the second link. A positive acknowledgment is received from a receiver. The positive acknowledgement indicates a successful receipt of the PDU or the segment of the PDU on the first link. In response to receiving the positive acknowledgement, the one or more retransmissions of the PDU or the segment of the PDU on the second link are cancelled.

The present invention is directed to data communication systems and techniques thereof. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide an FEC encoder that generates parity symbols that are embedded into FEC blocks. An FEC decoder determines whether to perform error correction based on the parity symbols. When performing error correction, the decoder selects a worst symbol from a segment of symbols, and the worst symbol is corrected. There are other embodiments as well.
