Technology for a user equipment (UE), operable to generate an enhanced buffer status report (eBSR) is disclosed. The UE can identify packets for uplink transmission. The UE can filter the packets for transmission, to identify a number of small packets pending for transmission and a number of larger packets, relative to the small packets, that are pending for transmission in the uplink transmission. The UE can encode the eBSR for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB), wherein the eBSR includes information identifying the number of small packets pending for transmission. The UE can have a memory interface configured to send to a memory the number of small packets pending for transmission.

A load sharing method includes: establishing a first tunnel and a second tunnel between a first network device and a second network device, where the first tunnel and the second tunnel form a bonding tunnel through hybrid bonding; sending, by the first network device, a plurality of data packets to the second network device; determining, by the first network device, a usage status of buffer space of a bonding tunnel reorder buffer of the second network device based on an acknowledgment response returned by the second network device; and performing, based on the usage status and according to a specified load sharing policy, load sharing between the first tunnel and the second tunnel for a packet to be transmitted by the first network device to the second network device.

When sending a first set of packets is determined to be prioritized over sending a second set of packets, and when each first header of each of the first set of packets and each second header of each of the second set of packets is determined to be compressed, an apparatus may compress the first header of each of the first set of packets using a first CID associated with a connection. Further, the apparatus may compress the second header of each of the second set of packets using a second CID associated with the connection. The apparatus may send the first set of packets through the connection. The apparatus may send, after sending the first set of packets, the second set of packets through the connection.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In aspects, a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE) may identify an amount of acknowledgement (ACK) reduction associated with an applications processor. The amount of ACK reduction may be determined based on a communication from the applications processor, or an ACK frequency in a group of packets received from the applications processor. The UE may determine whether to modify an ACK management scheme (e.g., a transmission control protocol (TCP) ACK coalescing scheme) based at least in part on the amount of ACK reduction associated with the applications processor. The UE may modify the ACK management scheme. The UE may transmit ACKs in accordance with the modified ACK management scheme. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A communication control device according to the present invention includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire ratio information indicating a ratio between a communication amount of control data and a communication amount of user data from a base station configured to allocate a radio resource for transmitting and receiving the control data and the user data between the base station and a mobile station; and a parameter control unit configured to change a parameter associated with the mobile station so as to reduce the control data to be transmitted and received between the mobile station and the base station when the ratio of the communication amount of the control data is larger than a predetermined threshold.

To appropriately allocate program processing to edge servers in an edge computing system, an edge server is connected and communicates with one or more devices that transmit input data, and the edge server includes a partitioning information acquisition unit that acquires, from a backend server, priority information indicating which of a plurality of edge servers that acquire the same partitioned model is to preferentially execute the partitioned model, and a management unit that manages the number of connected and communicating devices. The management unit compares the number of devices with a predetermined threshold and requests the other edge servers to update the priority information according to a comparison result.

A method for traffic management at a network node in a packet-switched network is proposed. The method comprises performing traffic shaping on a current packet belonging to a packet flow and stored in a memory queue associated with the packet flow, the traffic shaping comprising, if a theoretical reception time, TRT, value of the current packet is smaller than or equal to a time counter value, output the current packet through an egress port. The TRT value of the packet is determined by performing traffic policing of incoming packets of the packet flow.
