Techniques discussed herein can facilitate communication of group-based WUS(s) (Wake Up Signal(s)) for eMTC (enhanced Machine Type Communication) and/or NB (NarrowBand)-IoT (Internet of Things). One example embodiment is an apparatus configured to be employed in a UE (User Equipment), comprising: a memory interface; and processing circuitry configured to: determine a WUS group of a plurality of WUS groups, wherein the WUS group is associated with a first group WUS (Wake Up Signal) of a plurality of group WUSs; determine a starting subframe for the first group WUS; and monitor the starting subframe for the first group WUS, wherein the UE is configured to communicate via one or more of eMTC or NB (NarrowBand)-IoT.

The present disclosure discloses a long connection method between a plurality of smart devices and a server, and a smart device. The method includes: determining a master device being connected to a routing device and a plurality of slave devices; receiving, by the master device, first information sent by each slave device and/or second information generated in real time by any smart device, and forwarding all first information and/or the second information to a server via a routing device; receiving connection-related third information and/or interaction-related fourth information fed back by the server; parsing the third information and/or the fourth information, and determining a sending target of the server according to the IP addresses; and transmitting connection information to a corresponding smart device, and/or retaining the fourth information or transmitting the fourth information to a corresponding slave device to execute an operation instruction of the fourth information.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for establishment and maintenance of edge data network services. A user equipment (UE) may register one or more application clients for edge services at an edge application server. In order to maintain edge application servers that are continuing to be used by the UE, an edge enabler server at the edge data network, an edge enabler client at the UE, or both, may initiate a timer that is used to confirm the edge application server is continuing to be used. Such techniques may help prevent resources from being consumed after the edge services are no longer needed, such as after the UE no longer needs the edge services or the UE has moved outside of an area associated with the edge services.

Communication resumption information can be retained nodes of a cluster of nodes that form a distributed computing system. The communication resumption information can be exchanged between a node of the cluster and a peer node of the cluster after resumption of communication following a loss of communication between the node and the peer node. A determination of whether communication between the node and the peer node can be reestablished without losing messages can include comparing the communication resumption information received by the node from the peer node with the communication resumption information retained at the node. Communication between the node and the peer node can be resumed based when the determining indicates that communication between the node and the peer node can be reestablished without losing messages.

Provided is an information processing device including: a data acquiring unit which acquires data which flows through a network and includes a header and content, before the data reaches a destination; an inspecting unit which inspects the content; a during-inspection transmitting unit which transmits at least a part of the data to the destination while an inspection by the inspecting unit is being performed; and a transferring unit which, after the inspection of the content by the inspecting unit is completed, transfers the data including the content with the exception of a portion already transmitted by the during-inspection transmitting unit, to the destination.

A network communication method comprises connecting, by a server and client, through networks and sharing a symmetric key, generating, by the server, a credential by which the client can be identified, through random number generation, and sharing the credential with the client, generating, by the client, transmission data containing a serial number indicating the sequence of the transmission data, and transmitting a message to the server, and generating, by the server, transmission data containing a serial number indicating the sequence of the transmission data, and transmitting a message to the client. Accordingly, the present invention has an advantage in that when a connection between a server and client is interrupted, the connection can be automatically recovered using a credential, by which a connected terminal can be identified in a network environment between the server and the client, without a separate process for authenticating a reconnected terminal.

A wireless communication terminal (100) includes a TCP connection keep-alive timer, and a controller configured to optimize keep-alive timer operation by reducing the frequency with which the terminal transmits keep-alive messages. In one implementation, the controller re-sets the keep-alive timer, before expiration thereof, upon sending or receiving a message at the terminal during a TCP connection, wherein the terminal transmits a TCP connection keep-alive message only upon expiration of the keep-alive timer. The terminal may transmit a register request message indicating whether the terminal supports optimized keep-alive timer operation.

Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and apparatus for centralized session management in an aggregated application environment. In one embodiment, a centralized session management method can include aggregating a set of applications in a host aggregation environment. Subsequently, each of the applications can be centrally kept alive so as to avoid a time out condition in any one of the applications so long as interactivity is detected within any one of the applications or within the host aggregation environment. In one aspect of the invention, the aggregating step can include aggregating a set of portlets in a portal environment.
