A method for determining a Quality of Service (QoS) policy can be based on requested bandwidth. The method may initially receive a connection request which includes a requested bandwidth that corresponds to an application. The method may then determine a policy for an application data flow associated with the application based on the connection request. A bandwidth designation, which is based on the requested bandwidth, may be assigned to the application data flow based on the determined policy. Finally, the policy and the bandwidth designation may be provided so that a bearer can be assigned.

Methods and systems for Link Binding Management (LBM), including architectural design, detailed procedures, and embodiments to related standards, are described herein. In a first embodiment, an LBM Architecture A is disclosed which includes four logical entities: a Resource Creator (RC), a Source Resource Host (SRH), a Destination Resource Host (DRH), and a Link Binding Coordinator (LBC). Interactions are defined for these four entities to cooperate in order to efficiently manage link bindings (e.g. link binding creation, link binding update, etc) between source and destination resources. In a second embodiment, an LBM Architecture B is also disclosed which includes a Resource Repository (RR), a SRH.sub.2, a DRH, and a LBC. Interactions on those actors are developed towards efficient link binding management. Detailed procedures for LBM Architecture B are also disclosed.

This information processing device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire communication data, a priority determination unit configured to determine a priority for identifying a priority ranking in communication bandwidth allocation on the basis of the communication data, a preferential control information generation unit configured to generate preferential control information on the basis of a determination result of the priority determination unit, and a transmission unit configured to transmit device identification information for identifying a device which performs communication and the preferential control information to a communication device which relays communication.

A method and apparatus are provided for dynamic resource allocation, scheduling and signaling for variable data real time services (RTS) in long term evolution (LTE) systems. Preferably, changes in data rate for uplink RTS traffic are reported to an evolved Node B (eNB) by a UE using layer 1, 2 or 3 signaling. The eNB dynamically allocates physical resources in response to a change in data rate by adding or removing radio blocks currently assigned to the data flow, and the eNB signals the new resource assignment to the UE. In an alternate embodiment, tables stored at the eNB and the UE describe mappings of RTS data rates to physical resources under certain channel conditions, such that the UE uses the table to locally assign physical resources according to changes in UL data rates. Additionally, a method and apparatus for high level configuration of RTS data flows is also presented.

A method of a first base station in a communication system and an apparatus therefor are provided. The method includes determining an addition mode configured to add a second base station, identifying whether to add the second base station based on the addition mode, and performing a procedure of adding the second base station based on the second base station being identified as being added. The addition mode may indicate one of a combination of at least one of a blind addition, a traffic criterion addition and a measurement report criterion addition. The method may be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related service) based on the 5th generation (5G) communication technology and Internet of Things (IoT)-related technology. The method and apparatus propose a connection management method in a dual connectivity system.

A method for distributing data process according to technical resource capacity availability and constraints across a network is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a database, a feed request for processing by a computing resource, among a network of computing resources that are geographically dispersed. Further, the method includes identifying, among the network of computing resources, a computing resource for processing the feed request based on the at least one attribute and processing capacity of the computing resources, and assigning the feed request for processing to the identified computing resource in real-time and without predetermined assignment to process increase in data volume by leveraging remotely located and/or underutilized computing resources.

Systems and methods for enabling links between various devices is provided. The systems and methods may include a platform that enables different devices to access spatial models of a resource. The platform may enable the different devices to define and/or modify assignment conditions for access rights to resources. Further, the platform may enable definition of assignment conditions before or after the access rights are available for assignment.

A method for docking an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a wireless communications system. The method includes coupling the UAV to a docking device that is configured to provide power and data communication to the UAV via a physical interface. The method further includes receiving, at a docking device controller, an identity of the UAV, and determining, based on the received identity of the UAV, an organization associated with the UAV. The method also includes accessing, via the docking device controller, a collaborative operating profile associated with the determined organization and the identity of the UAV. The method further includes providing access to one or more resources associated with the docking station based on the collaborative operating profile.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for dynamic utilization of alternative resources based on token association. The system is typically configured for receiving a request from a user to generate a generic token for a digital wallet located on a mobile device of the user, generating the generic token and associating one or more resource credentials of the user with the generic token, transmitting the generic token to the mobile device of the user and storing the generic token in the digital wallet, receiving an interaction request from an authorization network to route an interaction, and routing the interaction to complete the interaction by selecting at least one resource credential from the one or more resource credentials associated with the generic token and transmitting the at least one resource credential to the authorization network.

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are provided to store traffic management data that indicates different levels of congestion that are each correlated to a different category of application of an end device, a type of congestion mechanism including at least one of access class barring, enhanced access class barring, service specific access control, application specific congestion control for data communication, or unattended and background data traffic, and barring parameters; receive a request for wireless service; obtain a level of congestion; determine that the request cannot be granted based on the level of congestion; select one of the levels of congestion based on the level of congestion; generate a first barring message based on the type of congestion mechanism, barring parameters, and category of application correlated to the one of the levels of congestion; and transmit the first barring message to the end devices.
