The method includes: determining, for a sidelink interface, whether to enable a bearer-splitting transmission mode for a radio bearer; obtaining an association relationship between a PDCP entity corresponding to the radio bearer and RLC entities corresponding to the radio bearer in a case of determining to enable the bearer-splitting transmission mode for the radio bearer.

Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for deploying User Plane Function (UPF) and edge computing virtualized network functions (VNF). For example, some embodiments are directed to a network management system. The network management system includes processor circuitry. The processor circuitry can be configured to transmit a request to an edge computing management system to instantiate an edge computing virtualized network function (VNF). The request can include an identifier of a Network Service (NS) where a User Plane Function (UPF) VNF supporting the edge computing VNF is located. The processor circuitry can be further configured to receive, from the edge computing management system, a response indicating that the edge computing VNF is instantiated.

Inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) load balancing under multi-carrier dynamic spectrum sharing (SS) context is provided. One method may include splitting shared radio-frequency resources into orthogonal resource pool shares. The method may include receiving a load metric for each of a plurality of radio access technologies. The method may include assigning, based on the load metric, one of the resource pool shares to each of the plurality of radio access technologies. In addition, the method may include dynamically adjusting a proportion of the assigned resource pool shares based on the load metric of each of the plurality of radio access technologies at corresponding carriers. The method may include assigning a primary carrier to a user equipment based on the load metric, the resource pool share, a coverage of the carriers' physical channels, and a type of multi-carrier operation for each of the plurality of radio access technologies.

An apparatus for accessing a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network, including a Wi-Fi processor and N Wi-Fi access circuits. N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2. The Wi-Fi processor is shared by the N Wi-Fi access circuits and implements an operation function related to Wi-Fi. The N Wi-Fi access circuits receives and transmits data at a same time through N Wi-Fi networks that operate on different radio frequency bands. Each Wi-Fi access circuit of the Wi-Fi access circuits comprises a Media Access Control (MAC) hardware and a physical layer (PHY) hardware.

Provided are a data distribution method and device, and a storage medium and a system. The method may comprise: receiving an access state report sent by at least one access device, wherein the access state report comprises multiple pieces of network state information for characterizing access networks provided by the corresponding access devices; and determining, based on network state information about access networks provided by various access devices and a data stream to be transmitted, data distribution amounts corresponding to various access devices. Accordingly, multi-connection data transmission control is carried out for a data stream to be transmitted, so as to improve the throughput of service data.

The present disclosure provides connection management techniques based on graph neural networks (GNN) and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to optimize user association and load balancing. A graph structure of a communication network is considered for the GNN architecture and DRL is used to learn parameters of the GNN algorithm/model. Connection management is defined as a combinatorial graph optimization problem, and the DRL mechanism uses the underlying graph to learn weights of the GNN for an optimal user connections or associations. The connection management techniques can consider local network features to make better decisions to balance network traffic load while network throughput is also maximized. Implementations are provided based on edge computing frameworks include the Open RAN (O-RAN) architecture. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

An information handling system includes a publisher device and an offload device. Multiple subscriber devices are associated with the publisher device. The offload device communicates with the publisher device. The offload device receives a packet transmission from the publisher device, and translates a topic address of the packet transmission to multiple destination addresses. The offload device sends the packet transmission to each of the subscriber devices. Each of the subscriber devices is associated with a corresponding destination address of the multiple destination address. The offload device receives one or more acknowledgements from the subscriber devices, and combines the one or more acknowledgements into a composite completion message. The offload device sends the composite completion message to the publisher device.

Embodiments identify a station that rotates an over the air station address. As address rotation was not originally designed into wireless networks, the rotation can introduce communication challenges for the station. The embodiments derive that traffic referencing two different over the air station addresses are associated with a single common station. This is accomplished by determining a similarity between properties of two sets of traffic. A first set of traffic references the first over the air station address and a second set of traffic references the second over the air station address. If the properties common across the two sets of traffic indicate sufficient similarity, the embodiments determine that both sets of traffic are associated with a single device. Network configuration of the device is then adjusted based on the determination.

A session management function (SMF) receives, from a user plane function (UPF), a data notification message for a multi access packet data unit (MA PDU) session. The data notification message comprises access information associated with a child session of the MA PDU session. The access information indicates an access type and an identifier of a session between the SMF and the UPF associated with the MA PDU session. The SMF determines to activate the child session of the MA PDU session based on the data notification message. The SMF sends, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), based on the determining, a request indicating activation of a user plane connection via the access type. The SMF sends, to the UPF, a session modification request indicating activation of the user plane connection.

Systems and methods are provided to control traffic accessing a public land mobile network service (PLMN) at a nonpublic network to perform local breakout for selected traffic.
