Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A device may identify an indication of a station load in a wireless local area network (WLAN) and estimate a delay to fill a packet hole at the medium access control (MAC) layer based on the station load. The estimated time period may be used to adjust a reorder timeout value. In some cases the reorder timeout value may be increased when the station load is high to reduce the likelihood that packet holes will be flushed to higher layers before the device is served with the missing packets. In some cases, the station load may be determined based on a message received from a serving access point (AP).

A technique that addresses the problem of a TCP connection's throughput being very vulnerable to early losses implements a pair of controls around ssthresh. A first control is a loss forgiveness mechanism that applies to the first n-loss events by the TCP connection. Generally, this mechanism prevents new TCP connections from ending slow-start and becoming conservative on window growth too early (which would otherwise occur due to the early losses). The second control is a self-decay mechanism that is applied beyond the first n-losses that are handled by the first control. This mechanism decouples of ssthresh drop from cwnd and is thus useful in arresting otherwise steep ssthresh drops. The self-decay mechanism also enables TCP to enter/continue to be slow-start even after fast-recovery from a loss event.

A non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions which, when executed by one or more processors cause performance of operations, including: receiving feedback information related to a receipt of packets by a receiving device, the packets being transmitted by a source device, modifying the feedback information to obtain modified information related to the receipt of the packets by the receiving device, and transmitting, to the source device, the modified information related to the receipt of the packets by the receiving device.

A device, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium that determine a reliability level for a communication network. A packet delivery ratio (PDR) is determined for a round period of the communication network operating at an adaptive reliability level based on a packet serial number (PSN). The communication network is controlled in a best effort mode, a reliable mode, or a switching mode based on the PDR.

A method of localized congestion exposure within a local loop in a cellular network that is performed by a localized congestion exposure sender node of the local loop. The method includes receiving downlink packets that are destined for a downstream user device. The method also includes receiving packets that have feedback indicating a congestion level from a downstream node of the cellular network. The method further includes inserting a declaration of an expected downstream congestion level into headers of the received downlink packets; and forwarding the downlink packets that have the declaration of the expected downstream congestion level inserted into the headers toward the downstream user device.

The present invention provides a method and a system for arranging base stations in a millimeter wave communication network. The method establishes a stochastic optimization framework for millimeter-wave base station deployment in the urban street geometry and provides a low-complexity user association arrangement which can well balance the workloads among BSs and reduce the outage probability by taking the time-varying nature of user equipments' positions and the susceptibility of millimeter-wave links to blockage effect into account. Compared with the state-of-the-art approaches, the present invention can effectively and efficiently reduce the outage probability in the long term.
