An information processing method, an apparatus, and a communication device are provided. The information processing method includes: triggering a pre-emptive BSR; and canceling the pre-emptive BSR according to a first status in a process from triggering of the pre-emptive BSR to generation of the pre-emptive BSR, where the first status includes at least one of the following: a reception status of uplink data; and a triggering status of a target BSR, where the target BSR is at least one of a regular BSR and a periodic BSR.

A method for utilizing quality of service information in a network with tunneled backhaul is disclosed, comprising: establishing a backhaul bearer at a base station with a first core network, the backhaul bearer established by a backhaul user equipment (UE) at the base station, the backhaul bearer having a single priority parameter, the backhaul bearer terminating at a first packet data network gateway in the first core network; establishing an encrypted internet protocol (IP) tunnel between the base station and a coordinating gateway in communication with the first core network and a second core network; facilitating, for at least one UE attached at the base station, establishment of a plurality of UE data bearers encapsulated in the secure IP tunnel, each with their own QCI; and transmitting prioritized data of the plurality of UE data bearers via the backhaul bearer and the coordinating gateway to the second core network.

Aspects described herein relate to bi-direction preemption indication transmissions. In one example, a node such as an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node may determine that a set of one or more resources are preempted for use for both an uplink transmission and a downlink transmission, and transmit, to a user equipment (UE), the bi-direction preemption indication indicating that the set of one or more resources are preempted for use for both of the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission. In another example, a UE may receive a bi-direction preemption indication indicating that a set of one or more resources are preempted for use for both an uplink transmission and a downlink transmission, and perform rate matching for both of the uplink transmission and downlink transmission based on the set of one or more resources indicated by the bi-direction preemption indication.

A method for operating a time-sensitive network, TSN, having a first, high-importance segment and a second, low-importance segment, includes remapping, using TSN per-port priority regeneration, priority labels attached to data streams received on the first port and the second port to updated priority labels; splitting the data streams into a “preempting” class and a “preemptable” class based on a mapping from updated priority labels to classes; and forwarding the data streams from a border network element to at least one next-hop network element. When congestion is present on a link to the next-hop network element, the forwarding of “preempting” data streams takes precedence over the forwarding of “preemptable” data streams.

This disclosure describes systems, devices, methods and computer readable media for enhanced network communication for use in higher performance applications including storage, high performance computing (HPC) and Ethernet-based fabric interconnects. In some embodiments, a network controller may include a transmitter circuit configured to transmit packets on a plurality of virtual lanes (VLs), the VLs associated with a defined VL priority and an allocated share of network bandwidth. The network controller may also include a bandwidth monitor module configured to measure bandwidth consumed by the packets and an arbiter module configured to adjust the VL priority based on a comparison of the measured bandwidth to the allocated share of network bandwidth. The transmitter circuit may be further configured to transmit the packets based on the adjusted VL priority.

According to the present invention, in order to allow enhancement in the transmitting efficiency of a transmission system using link aggregation, if the bandwidth usage rates of the physical links constituting the LAG are imbalanced, identification information of a factor packet that serves as a factor for the imbalance is estimated on the basis of a distribution rule and the second information about a data amount. In addition, the factor packet is distributed to physical links to which the factor packet is distributed, and a packet that is not the factor packet is distributed according to the distribution rule, which is based on, for each of the physical links constituting the LAG, a remaining bandwidth obtained by subtracting the usage bandwidth of the factor packet distributed to said physical link from the maximum available bandwidth of said physical link.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that handling of a protocol data unit (PDU) by the UE is preempted. The UE may transmit an indication that the preempted PDU is preempted. The indication may be generated by a physical layer of the UE, or by a MAC layer of the UE. The UE may receive information for a transmission of the preempted PDU. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Methods, computer readable media, and devices for balancing traffic of multiple realms across multiple resources such that a load balancing algorithm delivers equal flows of traffic to the multiple resources are disclosed. One method may include identifying a high risk realm and two low risk realms from among a plurality of realms, identifying three resources from among a plurality of resources, and distributing the high risk realm, the first low risk realm, and the second low risk realm across the three resources such that the high risk realm and a first low risk realm share a first resource, the high risk realm and a second low risk realm share a second resource, the two low risk realms share a third resource, traffic of the high risk realm is load balanced equally, and traffic of the two low risk realms is load balanced unequally.

The embodiments herein achieve a method and a UE for enabling a transport layer optimization using a preemptive cross layer signaling. The method includes transmitting at least one information to the NR L2 receiver for the transport layer optimization for a data flow(s). The at least one information includes at least one of a configuration for requesting a buffer status of the NR L2 receiver, a policy to inspect data packets of the data flow(s), a configuration for enabling or disabling the transport layer optimization, a retransmission timeout (RTO) and a round trip time (RTT) of the data flow(s), an impending RTO value of the data flow(s) and a threshold value of a buffer size. Further, the method includes enabling the transport layer optimization based on the at least one information received from the NR L3 receiver to avoid receiving of duplicate data packets from a TCP sender.

Disclosed are various embodiments for customer-defined capacity limit plans in communication networks. In one embodiment, a request for a service from a radio-based network is received from a first client device. A network function in the radio-based network is determined to be at a capacity limit. Service from the network function to a second client device to the network function is suspended in response to determining that the network function in the radio-based network is at the capacity limit and based at least in part on a rule set specific to the radio-based network. The first client device is provided access to the network function instead of the second client device.
