When a plurality of other communication apparatuses parallelly communicates with a first communication apparatus by using a frequency band assigned by the first communication apparatus to each of the plurality of other communication apparatuses including a second communication apparatus, a transmission rate when communicating with the second communication apparatus is set based on a communication time in communication with a third communication apparatus included in the plurality of other communication apparatuses.

For carrier's that have a large number of user equipment (UE) devices camped on them, the experience of a user equipment devices that utilize a subscriber prioritization identity (SPID) can be of a lower quality than it would be on another lower priority carrier because of the carrier load. Thus, SPID based UEs can be placed on carriers with the best throughput potential in the uplink. To achieve this, a SPID profile for the SPID based UE can be dynamically changed such the SPID based UE can transition to a carrier of better quality. UE devices are grouped per SPID ranges and each SPID has assigned cell carrier priority. In one embodiment, a system optimization network can monitor and detect UE performance on each cell and determine which cells are underperforming and which cells are performing better than other cells.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE), such as a UE with reduced capabilities, may switch from a first bandwidth part (BWP) to a second BWP to receive system information for a carrier that includes the first and second BWPs. The UE may switch to the second BWP to receive system information based on a trigger (e.g., control signaling or an expiration of a timer) and then switch back to the first BWP without additional signaling to continue operation. In some examples, the UE may receive additional signaling (e.g., data, control signaling, reference signals) in the second BWP. In some examples, a BWP switching duration may include additional time to process the system information received in the second BWP, for example if the system information includes instructions to switch to a third BWP (e.g., rather than returning to the first BWP).

Techniques are disclosed for an adaptive and causal random linear network coding (AC-RLNC) with forward error correction (FEC) for a communication channel with delayed feedback. An example methodology implementing the techniques includes transmitting one or more coded packets in a communication channel, determining a channel behavior of the channel, and adaptively adjusting a transmission of a subsequent coded packet in the first channel based on the determined channel behavior. The communication channel may be a point-to-point communication channel between a sender and a receiver. The channel behavior may be determined based on feedback acknowledgements provided by the receiver. The subsequent coded packet may be a random linear combination of one or more information packets.

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method, apparatus, and system. The method includes: A first user plane network element controls, based on a first AMBR, one or more data flows that are in data flows of a first session and that are transmitted on a data transmission channel of a first access technology; and a UL CL controls, based on a second AMBR, data flows that are in the data flows of the first session and that are transmitted on data transmission channels of a second access technology. This implements control on the data flows of the session and helps improve communication quality.

A method and system to help facilitate communication between a user equipment device (UE) and an access node that is serving the UE, in a scenario where a bearer is configured for the UE, the bearer having a defined set of quality-of-service (QoS) requirements for communication of user-plane data on the bearer. When wireless coverage of the UE from the access node is threshold poor, the access node and a supporting core network could interwork to loosen the set of QoS requirements of the bearer in an effort to avoid loss of the bearer. And upon loosening of the set of QoS requirements, the access node could invoke Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) duplication for the communication between the UE and the access node on the bearer, to help improve quality of the communication between the UE and the access node in presence of the threshold poor wireless coverage.

The present disclosure relates to a method, user equipment, a node and a computer readable medium for controlling data duplication transmission function. The method can include: receiving first control information sent from a master node, and/or receiving second control information sent from a secondary node; and determining, based on an indication of a first quantity of data radio bearers (DRB) corresponding to the first control information, and/or based on an indication of a second quantity of DRBs corresponding to the second control information, to open or close a data duplication transmission function of at least one DRB.

One embodiment is directed to a method of using variable-resolution quantization to front-haul at least some data over a front-haul network in a system configured to provide wireless service to user equipment. The method comprises, for each symbol position, determining a respective number of required resource blocks having respective actual user-equipment (UE) signal data to front-haul for each carrier and determining the number of high-resolution resource blocks that can be quantized at a higher resolution as a function of a difference between a nominal per-symbol-position front-haul link capacity and a link capacity needed to front-haul the required resource blocks for all of the carriers if quantized using a lower resolution. The method further comprises, for each symbol position, allocating the high-resolution resource blocks to each carrier and determining, for each carrier, which of the required resource blocks to quantize at the higher resolution. Other embodiments are disclosed.

According to this application, the application entity may perceive a change in a wireless network state of the non-GBR bearer flow, and further actively control running of the application program according to the change.
