In one embodiment, a method according to the present disclosure includes receiving a topology change advertisement at a remote core edge node and performing a network address information removal operation. The topology change advertisement is received from a core edge node that is in communication with an access network. The topology change advertisement indicates that a topology change has occurred in the access network. The network address information removal operation removes network address information stored by the remote core edge node. The network address information is used by the remote core edge node in participating in communications with the core edge node.

An access beacon sequence is transmitted by an entity in a communication system, the access beacon sequence comprising at least one access beacon packet. A method includes segmenting the access beacon sequence into access beacon segments, by segmenting said at least one access beacon packet. For each one of the access beacon segments, an access beacon portion is generated to include a corresponding one of the plurality of access beacon segments and an indicator indicating that the access beacon portion refers to an access beacon sequence of the communication system, so as to obtain a plurality of access beacon portions corresponding to the plurality of access beacon segments. Each access beacon portion of the plurality of access beacon portions is transmitted on a respective frequency channel amongst a plurality of frequency channels, where different access beacon portions are sent on different frequency channels according to portion-frequency association information.

The present invention provides an apparatus for processing at least one PDU (protocol data unit) in an N layer in a transmitting side of a broadcast system, the apparatus comprising a PDU processor for receiving at least one higher (N+1) layer PDU and generating a PDU including the received at least one higher (N+1) layer PDU and a PDU post-processor for post processing the generated PDU and transmitting the post-processed PDU to a lower (N−1) layer.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. One method provided for a transmitting device to pre-process data in a wireless communication system includes acquiring data, pre-processing the data in at least one layer of the transmitting device before receiving resource allocation information for transmitting the data, receiving the resource allocation information for transmitting the data, and generating a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) based on the pre-processed data and the received resource allocation information.

A method of utilizing the same hardware network interface card (NIC) in a gateway of a datacenter to communicate datacenter tenant packet traffic and packet traffic for a set of applications that execute in the user space of the gateway and utilize a network stack in the kernel space of the gateway. The method sends and receives packets for the datacenter tenant packet traffic through a packet datapath in the user space. The method sends incoming packets from the NIC to the set of applications through the datapath in the user space, a user-kernel transport driver connecting the kernel network stack to the datapath in the user space, and the kernel network stack. The method receives outgoing packets at the NIC from the set of applications through the kernel network stack, the user-kernel transport driver, and the data path in the user space.

A communication device communicates a radio frame including a preamble and a data field of a physical layer (PHY). The preamble includes an L-STF (Legacy Short Training Field), an L-LTF (Legacy Long Training Field), an L-SIG (Legacy Signal Field), an EHT-SIG-A (Extremely High Throughput Signal A Field), an EHT-STF, and an EHT-LTF, and the EHT-SIG-A includes a field indicating a standard that the radio frame complies with.

Provided is a method for generating a packet by a user equipment (UE). The method may include: receiving a threshold for packet duplication, from a base station; when a number of duplicated packets for a certain time does not satisfy the threshold for the packet duplication, generating a second packet by duplicating a first packet; and transmitting the generated second packet.

The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for detecting a maximum transmission unit (MTU) value. The data sender forms a first detection packet according to a first preset rule based on its MTU value. The data sender sends the first detection packet to a data receiver. The data sender receives a second detection packet from the data receiver. The data sender determines an MTU value included in the second detection packet as an MTU value of data transmission between the data sender and the data receiver.

The present invention relates to a method for performing retransmissions by a transmission end in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method includes the steps of: re-transmitting a data unit to a reception end; and increasing a retransmission counter associated with the data unit, when the retransmission counter associated with the data unit reaches to a max value, reporting a max retransmission indication to an upper layer and setting the retransmission counter associated with the data unit to zero.
