Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments can include initiating a voice call to a communication device utilized by a subscriber of a media content service. The voice call indicates a video trailer for media content is available for viewing by the subscriber. Further embodiments can include receiving a first request to present the video trailer for the media content in response to the voice call. Additional embodiments can include providing the video trailer to the communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method for packet generation includes designating a group of one or more ports, from among multiple ports of one or more network elements, to perform the packet generation. A circular packet path, which traverses one or more buffers of the ports in the group, is configured. A burst of one or more packets is provided to the group, so as to cause the burst of packets to repeatedly traverse the circular packet path. A packet stream, including the repeated burst of packets, is transmitted from one of the ports.

A method for establishment of a service path within the central office point of delivery within a broadband access network of a telecommunications network. The method to establish the service path includes: in a first step, identity information of the at least one network termination node is transmitted to the first line termination node, in a second step, subsequent to the first step, the identity information of the at least one network termination node is transmitted to the at least one repository node, and in a third step, subsequent to the second step, a first service edge node of the plurality of service edge nodes is selected or determined, based on the identity information of the at least one network termination node, and the service path for the at least one network termination node is thereby established.

The present invention provides a wireless communication method supporting hybrid automatic repeat request. The method includes: sending first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process quantity indication information to a user equipment UE; and if second HARQ process quantity indication information is further sent to the UE, determining a second HARQ process quantity according to the second HARQ process quantity indication information, and performing data transmission with the UE according to the determined second HARQ process quantity. Correspondingly, the present invention further provides a base station and the user equipment. In the present invention, the base station and the user equipment can perform data communication with the UE based on different HARQ timing relationships and HARQ process quantities, thereby being capable of better supporting UEs adopting different functional characteristics.

A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) and cellular system to provide backhaul satellite communications for a cellular base station are disclosed. The VSAT including an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) Core Network (CN) device; and a satellite modem connected to the EPC CN device and to communicate over a satellite link, wherein the EPC CN device manages communication of user traffic from the cellular base station to the satellite modem.

An access point (AP) handover method in wireless communications, a network control node, and user equipment includes obtaining AP information of a target AP having an association relationship with the target base station when user equipment is handed over to a target base station; and sending a first indication message to the user equipment, where the first indication message includes the AP information, and the first indication message is used to instruct the user equipment to perform AP handover according to the AP information.

An information transmission method and a related device applied to a cloud service system are provided. The cloud service system includes an arbiter, a first switch, and a first server group. The arbiter is connected to the first server group by using the first switch. The method includes: a first server obtains a first identifier of the first server in the first server group. The first server determines, in a first slot, a first time domain location corresponding to the first identifier. The first time domain location is a time domain location at which the first switch receives a first request to be processed by the arbiter, and different identifiers correspond to different time domain locations in the first slot. The first server sends the first request to the first switch based on the first time domain location.

A method for implementing an upstream symbol alignment within a network component, the method comprising receiving an upstream sync signal via an initializing digital subscriber line (DSL) during a channel discovery phase from a customer premise equipment (CPE), determining a corrected upstream symbol alignment value based upon the upstream sync signal, and transmitting the corrected upstream symbol alignment value to the CPE, wherein the upstream symbol alignment value determines an upstream symbol alignment for one or more upstream transmissions, and wherein the corrected upstream symbol alignment value is determined before receiving a plurality of upstream data signals within the data symbol positions during the channel discovery phase.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an access point handover method in wireless communications, a network control node, and user equipment. The method includes: when user equipment is handed over to a target base station, obtaining AP information of a target AP having an association relationship with the target base station; and sending a first indication message to the user equipment, where the first indication message includes the AP information, and the first indication message is used to instruct the user equipment to perform AP handover according to the AP information.
