A transmitting end-point computes a current transmission rate for each respective outbound half-route of outbound half-routes of a route set between transmitting and receiving end-points. The transmitting end-point receives, from the receiving end-point via a respective inbound half-route of the route set, a transmission rate limit for each respective outbound half-route, the transmission rate limit computed by the receiving end-point from routing headers of messages received by the receiving end-point on the respective outbound half-route, wherein the transmission rate limit for each respective outbound half-route places an upper bound on the current transmission rate for transmissions issued on the respective outbound half-route.

The present disclosure provides a method for forwarding to a Transport Control Protocol (TCP) receiver a TCP transmission sent from a TCP sender. The method includes: determining Time Division Duplex (TDD) reconfiguration time required for a TDD reconfiguration; comparing the TDD reconfiguration time with a predetermined threshold; suspending the forwarding of the TCP transmission to the TCP receiver during the TDD reconfiguration time if the TDD reconfiguration time is larger than the predetermined threshold; and resuming the suspended forwarding of the TCP transmission after the TDD reconfiguration time has lapsed. The present disclosure also provides a method for transmitting a TCP transmission to a TCP receiver, a base station and a user equipment.

A method for facilitating in-device coexistence between wireless communication technologies on a wireless communication device is provided. The method can include transmitting data traffic from the wireless communication device via an aggressor wireless communication technology; determining occurrence of an in-device interference condition resulting from transmission of the data traffic via the aggressor wireless communication technology interfering with concurrent data reception by the wireless communication device via a victim wireless communication technology; and reducing a bit rate of the data traffic transmitted via the aggressor wireless communication technology in response to the in-device interference condition.

A method in a network node is disclosed. The method comprises sending one or more packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packet data units (PDUs) to a second network node on an internode interface, each of the one or more PDUs having an associated PDCP sequence number and an associated internode interface specific sequence number, the internode interface specific sequence numbers assigned by the network node. The method further comprises receiving feedback from the second network node.

A technique for manipulating one mobile device (MD) from a plurality of MDs to maintain the transmitting rate of packets of an upload session to one Internet Protocol (IP) server from a plurality of IP servers is disclosed. The technique may utilize an upload-rate-controlling server that is communicatively coupled between the plurality of MDs and the plurality of IP servers and is configured to respond to missing one or more packets by using SACK and DSACK messages. Other embodiments may estimate the delay of the uploaded packets and adapt the value of a new-receiving window such that the delay of the uploaded packets is smaller than the value of the time threshold used by intermediate nodes for dropping packets.

A first network node, for supporting transport of data in a wireless communication network. One or more first data transmission connections, for first data flows, are established between the first network node and one or more service providing entities. One or more second data transmission connections, for second data flows associated with the first data flows, are established between the first network node and one or more wireless terminals via a target node. The first network node obtains a buffer measure that is indicative of a buffering degree at the target node for a first group of the second data flows. The first network node controls, based on the obtained buffer measure, a transmission pace between the first network node and the target node for a second group of the second data flows.

A congestion notification system includes a networking device coupling a sender device to a receiver device. The networking device is configured to detect a congestion situation. When the networking device will provide a first congestion notification in a first packet received from the sender device in response to detecting the congestion situation, as well as retrieve sender device information from the first packet and store that sender device information in a database. Following the sending of the first packet to the receiver device, the networking device receives a second packet that was sent from the receiver device prior to the receiver device receiving the first packet. In response to determining that the second packet includes the sender device information that is stored in the database, the networking device provides a second congestion notification in the second packet. The networking device then sends the second packet to the sender device.

The present application provides a channel type used to support user QoE expectations, which is, in particular, a QoS and QoE guaranteed channel (QQGC). Also provided is a related method and system for providing a QQGC. Effective bit rate (EBR), average bit rate, and maximum bit rate, are determined and used to support the channel. The EBR can be determined based on QoE reports. An application function, such as a network data analytics function provides the indication of effective bit rate. One or more portions of the application function can be provided in potentially different locations of a communications network and operatively coupled. Alternatively, application function portions can be co-located. The EBR is provided to and used by devices in the network to reserve user plane resources to support data flows at the EBR. The EBR can also be used for admission or rejection of requests for a QQGC channel.

Example embodiments provide apparatus, systems and methods to optimise a multicasting operation used to transmit data packets in a communication network.

An information handling system includes a plurality of memories and a plurality of processors. Portions of the processors and the memories are allocated as a virtual machine to a second information handling system. During a learning phase, a first processor to monitors a high bandwidth network activity of the second information handling system, and stores an event associated with the high bandwidth network activity. During an operating phase, the first processor detects the event, and transfers data associated with the high bandwidth network activity as a background activity based on available bandwidth between the information handling system and the second information handling system.
