A fault tolerant communication protocol transmits information across a communication channel from a transmitting device to a receiving device. The receiving device echoes back a copy of the transmitted information to the transmitting device. The transmitting device sends a first valid signal across the communication channel if the echoed information matches the transmitted information. The receiving device sends a second valid signal across the communication channel responsive to the first valid signal. The transmitting device stops sending of the first valid signal responsive to the second valid signal and the receiving device stops sending the second valid signal responsive to determining the first device has stopped sending the first valid signal. The receiving device can then update its state based on a successful transfer.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide various hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmission indication schemes used in a HARQ retransmission process. The HARQ retransmission indication can implicitly or explicitly indicate which part of a transport block (TB), code block group(s), or code block(s) is/are being retransmitted so that the receiver can associate the retransmitted TB, code block group(s), code block(s) with the correct prior reception, for example, for HARQ combining purposes

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A transmitting device may determine reconstruction information for a time-domain signal and may transmit the reconstruction information with the time-domain signal to a receiving device. The transmitting device may generate the reconstruction information based on estimates of how the receiving device may process the time-domain signal. For example, the transmitting device may apply a channel estimate to samples of the time-domain signal, and further perform clipping and quantization of the samples based on an estimated dynamic analog-to-digital converter (ADC) resolution of the receiving device. The transmitting device may generate the reconstruction information (e.g., using machine learning or other techniques) based on samples having the channel estimate applied and the clipped and quantized samples. The receiving device may process the received time-domain signal and use the reconstruction information to reconstruct the processed time-domain signal.

In one embodiment, an ingress network virtualization edge (NVE) in a computer network generates an echo packet, and sets an indication in the echo packet that the echo packet is for overlay path validation. In addition, the ingress NVE sets a message type of the echo packet to a generic echo request, and includes virtualization network (VN) context information within the echo packet. Once setting a destination address of the echo packet as an egress NVE address and including an indication to the egress NVE that the echo packet is an operations, administration, and management (OAM) message, the ingress NVE may then send the echo packet toward the egress NVE (e.g., to validate the VN context information and/or to reveal multipath traces).

Storage infrastructures and methods that generate hash values based on error correction codes. A system is provided that includes: a code retrieval system implemented on a host having logic for issuing a redundancy read command to a storage system to retrieve a redundancy code for an identified data block; and a hashing system implemented on the host for hashing the redundancy code to generate a hash value based on the redundancy code. A storage system is also provided that includes: a memory for storing data blocks and associated redundancy codes; and a controller having: an input/output for receiving a hash value read command for a specified data block from a host and returning a hash value; a decoding system that extracts a redundancy code associated with the specified data block; and an in-memory hashing system for computing a hash operation on the redundancy code.

The present invention relates to a technology for a sensor network, machine to machine (M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), and the Internet of things (IoT). The present invention can be used for intelligent services (smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retailing, security and safety related services, and the like) based on the technology. The present invention provides a method by which a node transmits a signal in a mesh network, the method comprising the steps of: transmitting a packet; receiving at least one packet transmitted from at least one peripheral node except for the node, after transmitting the packet; determining whether the at least one peripheral node has normally received the packet on the basis of the at least one packet; and retransmitting the packet if it is determined that it is necessary to retransmit the packet, on the basis of the determination result.

An object of the present invention is to increase speed of retransmission. A communication device has a transmission unit, a reception unit, a comparison unit, and a retransmission control unit. The transmission unit transmits first data toward a communication party. The reception unit receives second data as the first data received and returned by the communication party. The comparison unit is a process unit in a data link layer and compares the transmitted first data with the received second data. The retransmission control unit is a process unit in the data link layer and, when the transmission first data and the received second data do not match as a result of the comparison by the comparison unit, controls retransmission of the first data.
