Disclosed is a communication device capable of communicating with a terminal that performs wireless communication. The communication device includes a receiver configured to receive a request for network quality requirements from the terminal; a calculator configured to calculate network quality requirements available to the terminal; a determination unit configured to compare the request with the available network quality requirements to determine whether the request is acceptable; and a transmitter configured to transmit the result of the determination to the terminal.

The described technology is generally directed towards reallocating power to devices in a group, such as a rack of servers in a datacenter, when no power headroom remains available. Respective devices, which are classified into respective classes corresponding to respective priority device class levels, have power distributed thereto. Upon determining that available power headroom for power capacity distribution among the group of devices has reached an available power capacity distribution lower limit (e.g., zero), reallocation is performed by increasing power capacity allocated to a first device of a higher priority level class, and decreasing power capacity allocated to a second device of a lower priority level class. For more classes, such as high, medium and low, the power can be decreased among the lower priority level classes by a defined ratio, e.g., two-to-one between the medium and low priority classes.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for autonomous block error rate (BLER) threshold determination fur use in beam failure indication (BFI) procedures. A user equipment (UE) that is capable of autonomously determining a BLER threshold value may provide an indication of the capability to a base station. The base station may provide configuration information that enables the UE to perform autonomous BLER threshold determination, and the UE may determine the BLER threshold value based on the configuration information. The UE may determine that a BFI has occurred based on the determined BLER threshold, and thereby enhance beam failure detection procedures to provide more efficient and reliable communications.

There is provided a method at a first network node, comprising: receiving, from a second network node, a message comprising a requested quality of service (QoS) profile and one or more alternative QoS profiles, wherein the QoS profiles are associated with a communication with a user equipment; determining that the requested QoS profile cannot be provided by the first network node for a communication between the first network node and the user equipment; determining that at least one of the one or more alternative QoS profiles can be provided by the first network node for a communication between the first network node and the user equipment; transmitting, to the second network node, an indication that an alternative QoS profile can be provided by the first network node; and, transmitting, to the second network node, an indication for configuring the user equipment based on the requested QoS profile.

A method for performing traffic flow management with aid of auxiliary information and associated apparatus are provided. The method may include: carrying first auxiliary information in at least one first data unit of first data units in a first stream, wherein the first stream and a second stream are assigned to a same traffic identifier (TID); and sending the at least one first data unit carrying the first auxiliary information and at least one second data unit in the second stream to the second device, wherein the first auxiliary information comprises an indication of the first data units being part of the first stream.

An apparatus and system of collecting and reporting measurements for an Edge Application Server and 5.sup.th generation core network (5GC) network functions (NFs) that impact EAS performance are described. An application service provider (ASP) receives EAS performance measurements from edge computing service provider (ECSP) management system. The ECSP management system receives from the PLMN management system performance measurements from the 5GC NF that impact edge computing applications. The measurements are used to evaluate the end-to-end EAS performance, and determine actions to mitigate any issues based thereon.
