Novel tools and techniques in a telecommunication network are provided for implementing a data link layer control plane that may comply with the Ethernet standard and with sub-millisecond transmission control capabilities across multiple dis-similar technologies and bandwidth links. The framework provides a dynamic modular traffic control function insertion, removal, mapping function by having interpreter functions in the protocol agents that can map states and commands to sub-service chain functions that are configured per path and quality of service (QoS) flows. The control protocol provides high levels of resiliency and reliability by having a replicating function that transmits the same control protocol frames across multiple links simultaneously. The agents are multi-chassis capable and support hitless service impacts for administrative changes. Control plane messages may be encoded as a data plane frame and be transmitted at a high rate using the data plane.

It is provided a method, comprising creating a flow request for a probing data flow through a wireline network and a wireless network, wherein the wireless network is encapsulated towards the wireline network by a translator; inquiring from a controller of the wireline network a schedule for the probing data flow; deriving, based on the schedule, a quality indicator of a first data session to carry an expected data flow in the wireless network; deciding if a second data session in the wireless network has to be added, removed, or modified in order to carry an expected data flow, based on the derived quality indicator; informing the translator that the second data session in the wireless network has to be added, removed, or modified if the second data session in the wireless network has to be added, removed, or modified in order to carry the expected data flow.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) (e.g., a relay UE) may establish a relay connection for routing communications between a network entity (e.g., a base station) and a second UE (e.g., a remote UE). The relay connection may include a sidelink connection and an access link connection. The remote UE may transmit a request to the network entity via the relay UE. The request may include a relay service code associated with the sidelink connection, as well as a request for quality of service (QoS) support for the relay connection. Based on the request, the network entity may determine a QoS configuration for the relay connection. The network entity may indicate the QoS configuration to the UEs via the relay connection. The UEs may adjust parameters of the relay connection to meet the specifications of the QoS configuration.

Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for providing a quality of service between nodes. A service provider can receive, from a first node of a customer network to an ingress node of a service provider network, packets bound for a second node on the customer network that is remote from the first node. The packets are mapped to a network segment according to a traffic type based on an identifier associated with the packets that identifies the traffic type of the packets. The packets are sent via their mapped network segment to an egress node with connectivity to the second node of the customer network according to a quality of service associated with the traffic type identified by the identifier.

The embodiments in this invention extend distributed unit (DU), central unit (CU) and control plane of F1 (F1-C) capabilities so that differentiated DRBs of F1-U are placed on differentiated transport network components of equivalent QoS. This is achieved by a transport-aware DU and CU that can map each F1-U DRB into appropriate OSI layer 2-4 headers and can, subsequently, store such mappings. The F1-C interface is extended to distribute the layer 2-4 headers acquired from the transport network controller to the DUs and CU. A new control interface TN-C is defined between transport network controller and CU/DU. Furthermore, a trivial mapping of those embodiments is applicable for the N3 interface as well, which solves the same problem on the backhaul transport network.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing network access services to mobile users via multi-user network access terminals over a multi-beam satellite system. Quality-of-service (QoS) is controlled for the mobile devices at a per-user level according to user-specific traffic policies. Mobile users may be provisioned on the satellite system according to a set of traffic policies based on their service level agreement (SLA). System resources of the satellite may be allocated to mobile users based on the demand of each mobile user and the set of traffic polices associated with each mobile user, regardless of which multi-user network access terminal is used to access the system. Dynamic multiplexing of traffic from fixed terminals and mobile users on the same satellite beam can take advantage of statistical multiplexing of large numbers of users and on different usage patterns between fixed terminals and mobile users.

A method performed by a network device of segmenting a corporate communications network is provided. The method comprises receiving, from a plurality of client devices in the corporate communications network, a measured value of a connectivity performance metric of a communication link over which each of the plurality of client devices has transferred data to at least one other randomly selected client device, and mapping the client devices into segments of the corporate communications network based on the measured value of the connectivity performance metric of each communication link, where two client devices communicating over a communication link having a measured value exceeding a connectivity quality measure will be mapped into a same segment. Devices for segmenting a corporate communications network are also provided.

The present disclosure is directed to a multi-level resource reservation system that obviates one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art. The multi-level resource reservation system creates, or modifies existing, peer-to-peer protocol(s) to complete a continuous chain of configured ports to support QoS feature(s), e.g., bound latency and guaranteed jitter, for a data flow that traverses an arbitrary sequence of bridges, routers, and virtual links.
