A computer-implemented method for monitoring a communication system includes identifying a set of signals that need to be transmitted over the communication system for proper functioning of the control and/or surveillance; for each signal from the identified set of signals, identifying one or more resources of the communication system that are needed for transmission of this signal; obtaining information that is indicative of the operational state of the identified resources; and evaluating, from the obtained information, at least one remedial activity which, when performed on at least one resource, and/or on the control and/or surveillance, is likely to improve, and/or to restore, the reliability of the control and/or surveillance.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining data budget for a communication session, identifying video content associated with the communication session, and determining a group of segments associated with the video content. Further embodiments can include determining a segment size for each of the group of segments, identifying a base track for each segment of the group of segments based on the segment size for each segment of the group of segments and the data budget, and identifying a target track for each segment of the group of segments based on the base track for each segment of the group of segments, the segment size for each segment of the group of segments, and the data budget. Additional embodiments can include providing a request for the target track for each segment to a video content server over a communication network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for channel bonding in an adaptive coding and modulation mode. In some implementations, a system receives packets of a data stream for transmission in a satellite communications system. The system determines a modulation and coding arrangement for the received packets. The system generates code blocks that include data from the packets of the data stream. The system assigns the generated code blocks for transmission on different carriers. One or more of the different carriers is operated in an adaptive coding and modulation mode to support multiple modulation and coding arrangements within a single carrier. The system transmits the code blocks on the different carriers using the determined one or more modulation and coding arrangements.

The present technology is directed to a system and method for implementing network resource partitioning and Quality of Service (QoS) separation through network slicing. Embodiments of the present invention describe scalable network slicing method based on defining Segment Routing Flexible Algorithm to represent a network slice and assigning a distinct QoS policy queue to each of the Flexible Algorithms configured on a network node. Therefore, scalable network slice based queuing is implemented wherein a single packet processing queue is assigned to each Flex-Algorithm based network slice. QoS policy queue may be implemented in a hierarchical fashion by differentiation between flow packets in a single QoS policy queue based on value of experimental bits in the header.

Constraint based command invocations are dynamically queued in a cloud queue such that aspects of remote user devices may be remotely controlled with reduced exposure to inconvenient remotely issued commands. By monitoring conditions that may trigger command invocations, verifying rules of associated constraints prior to queuing command invocations, evaluating parameters to prioritize command invocations in a dynamic issuing order within cloud queue, examining factors and reverifying previously verified rules when determining whether to transmit a command from an command invocation located at a transmission position of the cloud queue, systems and methods herein provide a constrained environment within which user devices may be remotely controlled relatively free from unexpected cloud caused encumbrances during inopportune moments.

This application relates to the field of data communication, and in particular, to a packet buffering method, an integrated circuit system, and a storage medium. The method can improve utilization of the on-chip buffer. The packet buffering method may be applied to a network device. The network device includes a first storage medium and a second storage medium. The first storage medium is a local buffer, and the second storage medium is an external buffer. The method may include: receiving a first packet, and identifying a queue number of the first packet, where the queue number indicates a queue for storing the first packet; querying a queue latency based on the queue number; determining a first latency threshold based on usage of the first storage medium; and buffering the first packet in the first storage medium or the second storage medium based on the queue latency and the first latency threshold.

A transmitter can manage when a transmit queue is permitted to transmit and an amount of data permitted to be transmitted. After a transmit queue is permitted to transmit, the transmit queue can be placed in a sleep state if the transmit queue has exceeded its permitted data transmission quota. The wake time of the transmit queue can be scheduled based on a token accumulation rate for the transmit queue. The token accumulation rate can be increased if the transmit queue has other data to transmit after the data transmission. The token accumulation rate can be decreased if the transmit does not have other data to transmit.
