Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first wireless node may receive, from a second wireless node, a round-trip time timing advance indicator, wherein the round-trip time timing advance indicator is different from a timing advance indicator used for an uplink transmission timing advance message. In some aspects, the first wireless node may synchronize a timing configuration of the first wireless node to at least one of the second wireless node or a third wireless node based at least in part on the round-trip time timing advance indicator. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A traffic detection method, apparatus, and system are provided. A first network device obtains a packet, where the packet is any packet of the traffic. The first network device adds a detection flag and detection indication information to the packet to update the packet, where the detection flag is used to indicate a position of the detection indication information, where the detection indication information includes a first flag, and the first flag is used to indicate whether the traffic is to-be-detected traffic. The first network device sends an updated packet to a second network device. According to this method, traffic performance is detected, and flexibility and extensiveness of traffic performance detection are improved.

A setting device to set a parameter for transmission queues at an Ethernet switch, the setting device including a processor. The processor is configured to assign associations between an attribute associated with a transmission frame and a plurality of the queues having different priorities, set a parameter for a high priority queue having a priority equal to or higher than a threshold based on an adverse condition transmission schedule having transmission timings less desirable than those of a preset transmission schedule, and set a parameter for a low priority queue having a priority of less than the threshold using processing that is different from processing for setting the parameter for the high priority queue.

Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for managing security of a communication network. A message, formatted based on a stateless communication protocol for a communication network, may be received from a first computing device and by a second computing device. The second computing device generates and further stores, based on a hash function stored in a storage device associated with the second computing device, a fingerprint of the message. The fingerprint is generated using the hash function based on at least a portion of a header of the message or a portion of a body of the message. In addition, the second computing device detects whether the generated fingerprint of the message has a duplicated fingerprint already stored in the storage device, where the message is a retried message or replayed message of a message having the duplicated fingerprint. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

The disclosure relates to method and system for determining network congestion level. The method includes determining a round trip time (RTT) for each high priority and for each low priority packet transaction in the precision time protocol (PTP) protocol. The high priority and the low priority packet transactions are conducted between a master device and a slave device within a pre-defined time window. The method further includes determining an average high priority RTT and an average low priority RTT based on the RTT for each high priority packet transaction and for each low priority packet transaction respectively, computing an average delta RTT based on a difference between the average high priority RTT and the average low priority RTT, and determining an instantaneous network congestion level based on the average delta RTT and a reference delta RTT for a number of pre-defined time windows since a start of the slave device.

A method for transmission control in a multi-connectivity communication system comprises obtaining (S1) of an indication of decreased data rate through a first transmitting node of a multi-connectivity communication system. At least a subset of packets, originally scheduled for, and buffered in, the first transmitting node is rescheduled (S2) to at least one second transmitting node, different from the first transmitting node, of the multi-connectivity communication system, in response to the obtaining of the indication. A network node for transmission control is also disclosed.

Systems and methods are provided for scheduling the transmission of CPRI traffic over Ethernet in a datapath. A source node can send a registration request indicating its preferred sending time for data transmission. Intermediate nodes can determine if there are overlaps in timeslot reservations and adjust, and schedule, the requested preferred sending time accordingly.

The present invention relates to a method and a device for fast forwarding a flow traffic in an information-centric networking (ICN). According to the present invention, a flow switching method for a network node of an information-centric networking (ICN) includes: identifying a data name contained in a received interest packet and identifying a flow name from the data name, thereby determining whether a flow entry corresponding to the identified flow name is present within a flow table (FT); identifying forwarding information base (FIB) entry information matched to the flow name from the corresponding flow entry and identifying an FIB entry corresponding to the FIB entry information; and transmitting the interest packet on the basis of interface information included in the identified FIB entry.

Disclosed is a communication method for transmitting a packet in an environment where a plurality of networks or communication schemes coexist. A communication method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise receiving at least one observation value or reward-related information for network states; determining a transmission control protocol (TCP) congestion window size based on the at least one observation value or the reward-related information; and transmitting a packet according to the determined TCP congestion window size.

A method for continuously providing an edge computing service to user equipment (UE) by an edge enabler server (EES) of a mobile edge computing (MEC) system is provided, which includes receiving, from a source edge application server (EAS), update information including UE information and source EAS information, wherein the source EAS provides the edge computing service to the UE; retrieving, from an edge configuration server (ECS), target EES information based on the update information; transmitting, to a target EES, the UE information and the EAS information based on the target EES information; receiving, from the target EES, target EAS information; and transferring, to the source EAS, the target EAS information.
