Enhanced Common Packet Radio Interface (eCPRI) based Fronthaul forms the foundation for open radio access network (O-RAN). O-RAN envisages splitting the radio into two parts, a Distributed Unit (DU) and Radio Units (RU), interconnected using high speed Fronthaul links. O-RAN and eCPRI for 5G/NR place demands for high speed Fronthaul with low latency, and high network bandwidth requirements. In the present disclosure, embodiments for configurable eCPRI Fronthaul solutions are disclosed. Various hardware accelerator implementations are presented for control plane and user plane traffic. The hardware accelerator implementation may support DU and RRU functionality required by eCPRI with minimal software intervention. The configurable eCPRI Fronthaul may support different data flows and meet different performance demands of DU and RRU. Scalable architecture may be applied for the configurable eCPRI Fronthaul to allow stacking of multiple hardware accelerators via a high-speed network interconnect, and overall performance and throughput may be improved.

According to the method and the apparatus, a first device generates a first synchronization sequence and/or a second synchronization sequence, where the first synchronization sequence is different from any sequence of a third synchronization sequence set, and/or the second synchronization sequence is different from any sequence of a fourth synchronization sequence set.

Disclosed is an improved implementation of a flood fill mesh network that utilizes probability forwarding for rebroadcasting network messages. The forwarding probability may be determined based on analyzing a network topology map constructed by each network node relative to its neighbor nodes communicating on the network and derived from state information contained in synchronization frames broadcasted by the network nodes on the network. The forwarding probability may comprise a statistical probability that a message frame received by a network node will be forwarded to the intended destination network node by one or more of the network node's neighbor network nodes.

A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may be operated in a first scheduling mode for device-to-device communication. In the first scheduling mode, a network entity may schedule resources to be used by the WTRU for device-to-device communications. The WTRU may detect that a radio link failure (RLF) timer is running or has been started. The WTRU may switch from the first scheduling mode for device-to-device communication to a second scheduling mode for device-to-device communication in response to detecting that the radio link failure timer is running or has been started. In the second scheduling mode, the WTRU may select a resource from a resource pool for the WTRU to use for one or more device-to-device communications.
