A method performed by a network node for handling a damaged transmission of data due to data puncturing is provided. The network node receives (201), from a User Equipment, (UE) a Negative Acknowledgment (NACK) feedback of a previous transmission of data transmitted to the UE. The network node checks (202) whether or not the data is punctured in the previous transmission corresponding to the NACK feedback. When the data is punctured in the previous transmission, the network node selects (203) a Redundancy Version (RV), for a retransmission of the data, according to characteristics of the punctured data and puncturing data. The network node then sends (204) a Puncturing Indication (PI), the selected RV and the retransmission of the data to the UE.

Disclosed herein are techniques to provide an indication of bandwidth to establish a TxOP using channel bonding. An information element may be generated to include an RTS frame or a CTS frame and an indication of bandwidth in a parity portion of the information element. The indication of bandwidth may be included by using 16 bits of the parity bits of parity bytes for a PHY header of the information element.

A network interface device, said network interface device has a data transmission path configured to receive data for transmission. The data for transmission is to be sent over a network by the network interface device. A monitor is configured to monitor the data transmission path to determine if an underrun condition is associated with the data transmission path. If so, an indication is included in the transmitted data packet.

A method is provided for detecting an access zone configuration of a downlink wireless transmission received from a wireless network by a receiver. The method includes steps of activating the receiver, synchronizing the receiver with the wireless network, detecting, by the receiver after the step of synchronizing, a received access zone of the downlink wireless transmission, determining a base symbol of the detected access zone, ascertaining a first gap and a second gap from repetitive information contained within the determined base symbol, concluding, from the ascertained first and second gaps, that the detected access zone is part of a multiple access zone configuration, and registering, after the step of concluding, the receiver with the wireless network.

Systems and methods for monitoring, characterizing and managing communications between and amongst data packet sources are provided, for example by providing Safety Integrity Level of Services (SILoS) for of System-On-Chip (SOC) and/or Network-on-Chip (NOC) deployments. For example, disclosed herein is a controller, that in combination with digital logic circuitry, is configured to receive data packets transmitted between intellectual property blocks of a SOC or NOC deployment for assuring correct sequencing, monitor received signals to detect or predict faults therein, and generate an indication signal indicative of the fault. The indication signal used by a performance analysis system executing software for diagnostic, prognostic analysis.

Systems and devices can include protocol stack circuitry to perform certain methods, including receiving a flow control unit (flit) header and a transaction layer packet (TLP) payload, the TLP payload comprising a first portion and a second portion, determining that the flit header is free from errors, forwarding the flit header and the first portion of the TLP payload to a link partner based on the flit header being free from errors, identifying that the flit contains an error from the second portion of the TLP payload, and sending a data link layer packet (DLLP) to the link partner to indicate the error in the TLP payload.

Overhead associated with data re-protection during scaling out and/or scaling up of a distributed cloud storage system can be reduced. A coding matrix that is to be utilized for erasure coding in a potential final configuration of the distributed cloud storage can be determined. During initial data protection, a portion of the coding matrix can be utilized to determine coding chunks for protecting data chunks stored within different geographical zones of the distributed cloud storage system. When additional zones are added to the distributed cloud storage system, a larger portion of the coding matrix can be utilized to erasure code the new configuration and accordingly, the existing coding chunks are considered as partially complete. Further, the partially complete coding chunks can be combined with data chunks stored within the newly added zones and coefficients of the larger portion of the coding matrix to generate complete coding chunks.

A memory includes error correction circuitry that receives a data packet, outputs a correctable error flag indicating presence or absence of a correctable error in the data packet, and outputs an uncorrectable error flag indicating presence or absence of an uncorrectable error in the data packet. A response manager, operating in availability mode, generates output indicating that a correctable error was present if the correctable error flag indicates presence thereof, and generates an output indicating that an uncorrectable error was present if the uncorrectable error flag indicates presence thereof. In a coverage mode, the response manager generates an output indicating that a correctable error was potentially present but should be treated as an uncorrectable error if the correctable error flag indicates presence of the correctable error, and generates an output indicating that an uncorrectable error was present if the uncorrectable error flag indicates presence thereof.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of communicating an Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) (EDMG) Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Physical layer (PHY) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU). For example, an EDMG station (STA) may be configured to generate an EDMG OFDM PPDU including at least a non-EDMG header (L-Header), an EDMG header, and a data field, the EDMG header including a spoofing error length indicator field configured to indicate whether or not a spoofing error of the EDMG OFDM PPDU is less than one OFDM symbol duration; and to transmit the EDMG OFDM PPDU over a channel bandwidth in a frequency band above 45 Gigahertz (GHz).
