Systems and methods of using a packet order work (POW) scheduler to assign packets to a set of scheduler queues for supplying packets to parallel processing units. A processing unit and the associated scheduler queue is dedicated to a specific flow until a queue-reallocation event, which may correspond to the associated scheduler queue being idle for at least a certain interval as indicated by its age counter, or the queue being the least recently used, when a new flow arrives. In this case, the scheduler queue and the associated processing unit may be reallocated to the new flow and disassociated with the previous flow. As a result, dynamic packet workload balancing can be advantageously achieved across the multiple processing paths.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may select a first communication, associated with a first traffic type, or a second communication, associated with a second traffic type, as a selected communication for transmission in an overlapping resource, wherein the first communication and the second communication at least partially overlap in time, and wherein the selection is performed based at least in part on a rule; and transmit the selected communication. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A method is provided that can be performed by an audio source for negotiating latency in an audio network. The audio source receives information regarding an audio processing latency associated with each of a set of two or more audio output devices connected to the audio network. The audio source determines, based at least on the received information, a maximum delay for outputting audio samples streamed by the audio source from the audio output devices in the set. The audio source determines, based on the maximum delay, timing for outputting the audio samples from the audio output devices in the set. The audio source then communicates the determined timing to the set of audio output devices for processing the audio samples in accordance with the timing.

A method includes intra-refresh encoding each picture of a first set of pictures such that a position of a refresh region for the picture is spatially shifted relative to the position of the refresh region for a previous picture of the first set responsive to determining global motion associated with the first does not exceed a specified threshold. The method further includes intra-refresh encoding each picture of a second set of pictures such that a position of a refresh region for each picture of the second set is fixed to be immediately adjacent to a picture edge that is in a direction of global motion associated with the second set responsive to determining the global motion associated with the second set exceeds the specified threshold.

A notification regarding a transition of a User Equipment (UE) from a standby operating mode to an active operating mode is exchanged between a UE and a network element in a communication network. The notification could be an uplink notification that is transmitted by the UE to the network element in response to an operating mode transition criterion for the UE being met at the UE, or a downlink notification that is transmitted by the network element to the UE in response to an operating mode transition criterion for the UE being met at the network element. The UE transitions from the standby operating mode to the active operating mode in response to the operating mode transition criterion being satisfied. The transmitter of the notification, which could be the UE or the network element, could also perform grant-free transmission of data without first receiving a response to the notification.

Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of wireless communications, and particularly to a method and device for data transmission, which are used to solve the problem in the prior art that a retransmission mechanism of an LTE system can meet general requirements for delay and reliability of the LTE but cannot meet higher requirements for delay and reliability caused by the application of new services. The method in the embodiments of the present invention comprises: a receiving side receives data from a sending side through multiple paths, the received data of each path being identical; and the receiving side performs multi-path data combination on the received data. According to the embodiments of the present invention, data is transmitted between a sending side and a receiving side through multiple paths, and data transmitted through each path is identical, so that the purpose of retransmission for many times is achieved, different radio channels can be fully utilized for connection, and the reliability of data transmission can be ensured with low requirements for delay.

The present disclosure provides a unique control region that is mapped to each data region for DL DMRS transmissions. In addition, the present disclosure provides an updated DCI format that may include DL DMRS transmissions. The apparatus may receive a first content during a first TTI. In an aspect, the content may include at least a control region which includes a DMRS. In addition, a location of the DMRS may be defined by either a closed-loop precoding structure or an open-loop precoding structure. Furthermore, the duration of the first TTI may be shorter than 1 ms. The apparatus may demodulate the control region based at least on the DMRS.

Systems and methods are directed to low cost and low power carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation in a receiver. In-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) samples of a wireless signal are received by the receiver and a first phase and a second phase are extracted from the outputs of a first autocorrelator with a first time-lag and a second autocorrelator with a second time-lag. The extracted first and second phases are combined to generate an estimated CFO of high accuracy and wide estimation range.

A tagging mechanism supporting different QoS categories for IP/Port services in a cellular radio network is proposed. Tags are used to differentiate different types of services and corresponding QoS requirements. At the sender side, the sender of the IP packets is able to distinguish different types of services by tagging one or multiple bits for finer QoS control. For downlink IP traffic, the tagging function can be done at the base station. For uplink IP traffic, the tagging function can be done at the UE. At the receiver side, the receiver delivers the IP packets using out-of-sequence delivery for delay sensitive packets. With tagging and out-of-sequence delivery, the delay sensitive packets can reduce CN latency and transmission latency.

A method and a first node (700) for handling a feedback procedure requiring transmission of feedback messages indicating either an acknowledgement, ACK, or a non-acknowledgement, NACK, of correct reception of data transmitted on a forward link in a radio communication with a second node (702) in a radio network. The first node (700) obtains (300) a latency requirement of the radio communication corresponding to the time from transmission of the data until the data becomes outdated. The first node (700) further applies (304) a first transmission mode employing said feedback procedure when the latency requirement is above a latency threshold, and applies (306) a second transmission mode omitting said feed back procedure when the latency requirement is below the latency threshold.
