A method performed by a network node, for handling link adaption (LA) of a channel. The network node obtains a channel quality value for each Transmission Time Interval (TTI) in a set of TTIs. The network node estimates a probability that a specific channel quality will occur from the obtained channel quality values for the set of TTIs based on a distribution of channel quality values. The network node further determines a set of transmission parameters which optimizes a target function of LA, based on the estimated probability for the channel quality, wherein each set of transmission parameters is mapped to a channel quality which is required for a successful reception.

This application describes a link bit error-based processing method and apparatus. A network device may report, to a controller, a bit error rate at which an egress port on the network device is configured to send data traffic. In this way, the controller may collect and accumulate bit error rates at which data traffic is sent through all egress ports on a transmission path, to obtain an accumulated bit error rate of the transmission path. In this way, the controller may determine, based on the accumulated bit error rate of the transmission path, whether to switch a service flow on the transmission path to another transmission path. Therefore, the controller may switch a service flow transmitted on a transmission path with an excessively high accumulated bit error rate to another transmission path with a relatively low accumulated bit error rate for transmission.

This document describes methods, devices, systems, and means for a switching scheme for opting in and out of multi-user orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (MU-OFDMA). In one aspect, an electronic device enters the MU-OFDMA mode to communicate via a wireless network over a shared-channel bandwidth. During the MU-OFDMA mode, the electronic device determines that an uplink-queue size is greater than a first threshold size. Responsive to the determining, the electronic device opts out of the MU-OFDMA mode and enters a single-user mode to contend for a transmit channel for transmitting uplink data.

A data link error feedback signaling system includes a transmitting network device and a receiving network device. The receiving network device may be operable to receive a network data unit from the transmitting network device over a data link, detect an error in the network data unit, and provide data link integrity information based on the error to the transmitting network device. The receiving network device may provide the data link integrity information by marking the data link flawed in a routing protocol, transmitting the data link integrity information via an informational protocol, and so on. The transmitting network device may respond to the data link integrity information, such as by marking the data link less preferred, marking the data link down, transmitting an alarm regarding the data link to a network operator, omitting taking an action upon determining that errors are below an error threshold, and so on.

In an unlicensed band, different types of interference may be experienced by user equipments (UEs), and a serving evolved Node B (eNB) may not be aware of the interference types affecting a UE. Therefore, aspects presented herein provide UE assisted interference learning, in which the UE detects an interfering signal and reports information such as the interference level and properties of the interfering signal to a serving eNB. Another aspects presented herein provide for an eNB which receives, from one or more UEs, information indicating properties of each of at least one interfering signals experienced by the UEs, such as interference types affecting the UEs. The eNB further uses the information received from the UE, including the wireless technology type to determine the properties of its downlink transmission and the length of the contention window leading up to its downlink transmission.

A BM-SC, and a method therein for transmitting data file by broadcast session to at least one UE, in a radio communication system; and a UE and a method therein for receiving a broadcast session of transmission of a data file from a BM-SC are provided. The method in the BM-SC comprises determining to transmit the data file to the at least one UE, and determining a FEC redundancy level to use for the transmission. The method also comprises transmitting, to the at least one UE, the data file using the determined FEC redundancy level and an indication of the determined FEC redundancy level.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described which may enable a user equipment (UE) and a base station to use outer-loop feedback support to reach a desired error rate for low latency communications. For example, a base station may transmit a proxy acknowledgement feedback configuration to a UE for communications associated with a low target error rate. In some cases, after receiving the communications from the base station, the UE may receive secondary communications from the base station. The UE may then decode the first and/or second communications according to the proxy acknowledgement feedback configuration and/or a normal acknowledgement feedback configuration and may determine a proxy acknowledgement feedback based on the decoding. Further, the UE may transmit the proxy and/or normal acknowledgement feedback to the base station, which may update outer-loop power settings for the low latency communications based on the acknowledgement feedback.
