Some of examples disclosed herein relate to classifying access points (APs). Some of the example may enable automatically classifying a set of APs based on at least one AP attribute of each AP in the set of APs, determining, based on the automatic classification, that a subset of APs in the set of APs are classified into a same class; and automatically determining a recommended configuration setting for the subset of APs.

A data transmission method and a communications device, wherein the method includes: processing, by a transmit end device, a data flow, where the processing includes: adding a flow identifier indication to the data flow, where the flow identifier indication is used to indicate whether a flow identifier is included; and sending, by the transmit end device, the processed data flow. A flow identifier indication is added to a data flow, where the flow identifier indication is used to indicate whether a flow identifier is included; and the data flow is transmitted according to the flow identifier indication, so that processing on the data flow is completed.

Aspects of the disclosure can provide an apparatus and method for operating a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session associated with a non-3GPP access when the apparatus is to perform an inter-system change. The apparatus can include processing circuitry that is configured to connect to a first communication system over a 3GPP access and a non-3GPP access and switch the connection from the first communication system to a second communication system. Further, when in a release mode, the processing circuitry can release a PDU session that is in the first communication system over the non-3GPP access, and when in a transfer mode, the processing circuitry can transfer the PDU session that is in the first communication system over the non-3GPP access to a Packet Data Network (PDN) connection that is in the second communication system over a 3GPP access.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In systems supporting multiple communication protocol types (e.g., ultra-reliable low-latency communication and enhance mobile broadband communication), a user equipment may implement multiplexing rules for handling overlapping transmissions of different communication protocols. For example, if lower latency data supports multiplexing with higher latency data and a lower latency resource overlaps (either partially or completely) with a higher latency resource, a number of options can be taken to control multiplexing. Similarly, if low latency uplink control information supports multiplexing with a slot-based physical uplink shared channel, and the physical uplink shared channel has its own uplink control information, a number of options can be taken to control multiplexing. If slot-based uplink control information overlaps (either partially or completely) with low latency data, then, likewise, a number of options can be taken to control multiplexing. Controlling multiplexing may support meeting low latency thresholds.

Example embodiments may relate to web interfaces for a balloon-network. For example, a computing device may display a graphical interface that that includes one or more interface features to receive a request for use of bandwidth of a balloon network. In particular, the computing device may receive, via the graphical interface, input data corresponding to a bandwidth request for a first location, where the bandwidth request includes: (i) an indication of the first location and (ii) an indication of time. Subsequently, the computing device may receive an indication corresponding to whether or not the bandwidth request is accepted, where acceptance of the bandwidth request is based at least in part on expected movement of one or more balloons from a plurality of balloons in the balloon network. As such, the computing device may display, on the graphical interface, the indication corresponding to whether or not the bandwidth request is accepted.

Systems and methods of classifying data flows being communicated on a network by one or more network elements. One method includes creating a table including information of packet timestamps and pre-defined packet header fields, grouping packets into data flows based on information in the table, assigning flow identifiers to each data flow, determining a plurality of feature/characteristic sets having one or more features and/or one or more characteristics of the data flows, determining one or more classifiers to predict flow labels using the plurality of feature/characteristic sets, and generating a classification policy that includes the one or more classifiers to classify data flows on the network. The method can also include storing the classification policy in at least one non-transitory computer medium that is accessible by a network element that is classifying data flows on the network, and using the classification policy to classify data flows.

The systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed towards a dynamic system that is configured to identify and map networked traffic, such as that of video, voice, file transfer, and web based applications to predetermined Quality of Service (QoS) classes. The different QoS classes can be associated with different traffic priorities. The networked traffic can be encrypted, which can prevent an intermediate device from processing or otherwise reading the packet headers of the traffic. The systems and methods of the present disclosure can predict QoS classes for encrypted traffic based on traffic patterns and other characteristics of the encrypted traffic.

The present application provides a method for dynamically allocating resources in an SDN/NFV network based on load balancing. For multimedia services with different demands, a virtual link mapping target, a constraint and a load state of a physical link are associated. A subtask is adaptively mapped to a network node according to the load state of the physical link. The method effectively distinguishes used resources and remaining resources of a physical node and a link to balance the load, and thereby improve the utilization of network resources and avoid occurrence of a local optimum or current optimum. The solution involves performing a subtask mapping to find a server node satisfying constraints for each subtask in a service request. The model for mapping the subtask is $\underset{T.fwdarw.V}{\min }{\mathrm{Target}}_1$$s.t.C_1,C_2,C_3,C_4.$
A virtual link mapping is then performed to find a physical path for each virtual link in the service request, which satisfies the capability constraint of the virtual link. The dynamic virtual mapping is described as $\underset{E_T.fwdarw.E_s}{\min }{\mathrm{Target}}_2$$ s . t .

METHOD AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSFERRING MEDIA DATA HAVING DIFFERING MEDIA TYPES VIA A NETWORK SENSITIVE TO QUALITY OF SERVICE 20200336527 · 2020-10-22 · Ringcentral, Inc. · Karl Klaghofer, Jurgen Totzke, Michael Tietsch A telecommunication system and a method for transferring media data from a first client over a QoS-sensitive network to a second client. The system and method can permit media data, which contain a first media type with a first traffic class and a second media type with a second traffic class to be bundled by the first client into second packets. In each second packet, the traffic class for each media type is marked in layer 4 and/or layer 5. The second packets can be transmitted toward the second client. Either before or during the transfer to the network, the second packets can be unbundled using the markings in layer 4 and/or layer 5 and then bundled into first packets, each of which has only one of the traffic classes. At least some of the first packets can then be transmitted over the network to the second client. $
