A method and device for data transmission. The method comprises: a first device determines configuration information of a first resource, where the configuration information of the first resource comprises: cycle information of the first resource and information of the first resource; the first device transmits the configuration information of the first resource to multiple second devices; and the first device multicasts first information to the multiple second devices via the first resource. With the first device transmitting the first information to the multiple second devices in a multicasting manner, compared with the transmission of information in a unicasting manner, the redundancy of data transmitted is reduced, and the transmission efficiency is increased.

A method for transmitting automatic repeat request acknowledgement feedback information supporting a multicast service and an apparatus are provided. The method includes: receiving N pieces of first downlink control information (DCI) and M pieces of second DCI in at least one first time unit, where the first DCI is a first-type DCI, the second DCI is a second-type DCI. Each piece of first DCI includes a first downlink assignment index (DAI), and the first DAI includes a first counter downlink assignment index (C-DAI) that indicates an accumulative quantity of pieces of first-type DCI for scheduling transmission of a downlink data channel. Each piece of second DCI includes a second DAI, and the second DAI includes a second C-DAI that indicates an accumulative quantity of pieces of second-type DCI for scheduling transmission of a downlink data channel.

According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a particular networking device joins a ring network of networking devices that has a ring topology. The particular networking device monitors the ring network for a multicast frame used within the ring network to detect link failures. The particular networking device determines that a link in the ring network has failed, based on the particular networking device not receiving the multicast frame within a threshold amount of time. The particular networking device initiates repair of the ring network, when the particular networking device determines that the link in the ring network has failed.

Embodiments are directed to verifying media stream quality for multiparty video conferences. A verification video may be generated based on verification goals for a video provided by a video service. A marker may be embedded in the verification video. A video conference may be established using video stations such that the video conference may be provided by a video service. The verification video may be streamed to a video input of each video station. The video may be streamed to a video output buffer of each video station such that the video provides a view of the video conference and such that the marker that corresponds to each video station may be included in the video. Video information may be captured from the video output buffer of the video stations. The video service may be classified based on the video information from each video station.

A wireless device receives receive, from a base station, radio resource control messages comprising configuration parameters of a first semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) for multicast and broadcast services (MBS), wherein the configuration parameters of the first SPS comprise a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) codebook index. The wireless device receives a multicast transport block (TB) based on receiving a group common downlink control information (DCI) indicating an activation of the first SPS. The wireless device transmits first feedback for the multicast TB in a first HARQ-ACK codebook, of HARQ-ACK codebooks, indicated by the first HARQ-ACK codebook index.

A system and method for broadcast response generally employing RDS, DARC, or similar technology is provided, including a method for responding to a broadcast comprising extracting an event identifier from a broadcast signal; detecting a response by a user to the broadcast signal; polling a communications device to determine a user identifier; and communicating the event identifier and the user identifier when the user response is detected.

Described herein are, among other things, techniques, devices, and systems for streaming pixel data from a host computer to a wireless display device with low latency. In some embodiments, a user mode driver is executed in user mode of the host computer to configure a wireless network interface controller of the host computer to operate in a low latency manner. The display device may use a Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithm to reconstruct a frame from the data packets it receives from the host computer. Also disclosed are techniques for scrambling the transmission of a series of data packets using different antenna configurations, as well as setting a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) rate based at least in part on the amount of pixel data to be transmitted to the display device. The display device may comprise a head-mounted display (HMD) that renders virtual reality (VR) game imagery.

In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for a MAC addresses synchronization mechanism for a bridge port failover is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method comprises: upon detecting a failover of a previously active bridge node, a standby bridge node performing: detecting a failover of a previously active bridge node; sending a request to one or more hosts to cause the one or more hosts to remove, from one or more corresponding forwarding tables, one or more MAC addresses, of one or more virtual machines, that the one or more hosts learned based on communications tunnels established with the previously active bridge node; for each MAC address stored in a MAC-SYNC table maintained by the standby bridge node: generating a first-type reverse address resolution protocol (“RARP”) packet having a source MAC address retrieved from the MAC-SYNC table; broadcasting the first RARP message to a virtual extensible LAN (“VXLAN”) switch via a bridge port of the VXLAN switch for the VXLAN switch to register the MAC address on the bridge port; storing an association of the MAC address and an identifier of the bridge port in a forwarding table maintained by the standby bridge node; for each MAC address that is stored in the forwarding table, but not in the MAC-SYNC table: generating a second-type RARP packet with such a MAC address to be the source MAC address; broadcasting the second RARP message from the VXLAN switch to a VLAN switch causing a physical switch to update a forwarding table maintained by the physical switch; and starting to forward traffic, via the bridge port, as an active bridge node.

A system and method for automatically detecting issues during screensharing in an online meeting. The system and method allow automatic status notification of screensharing, which facilitates efficient and convenient use of virtual meetings. The system and method also use a live status indicator to provide constant and continuous data about the health of the ongoing screensharing session, which prevents computer and network resources waste on status inquiries. The system and method also recognize a problem/issue of the content-sharing and provide virtual meeting participants real-time action guidance to optimize the quality of content-sharing.

A method and apparatus a first network entity in a wireless communication system supporting ranging capability is provided. The method and apparatus comprises: identifying, in a ranging block, one or more ranging rounds to transmit a ranging control message (RCM) with a multiple message receipt confirmation request (MMRCR) for a transmission of at least one first message comprising at least one of a set of ranging messages or a set of ranging ancillary data messages; transmitting, to a second network entity, the RCM with the MMRCR; transmitting, to the second network entity, ranging ancillary data in at least one ranging round of one or more ranging rounds following the RCM, wherein the ranging ancillary data is associated with the MMRCR; and receiving, from the second network entity, a ranging multiple message receipt confirmation (RMMRC) corresponding to the transmission of the at least one first message.
