A relay device is provided that may identify a quantity of empty data byte locations in a data buffer of the relay device. The relay device may receive an indicator associated with transmitting data packets. The relay device may pause or enable a lossless flow of data between the relay device, a host device, and a peer device based on the quantity of empty data byte locations, the indicator, or both. The relay device may include a first data interface coupled with a peer device, a second data interface coupled with a host device, a data buffer configured to store data packets received from the host device, and a state machine that enables a lossless transmission of data between the host device and peer device. The state machine may transmit a pause frame to the host device based on a data buffer utilization reaching a data storage capacity.

In a communication system having a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices that are operating in a contention based mode for device-to-device (D2D) communication, each UE device transmits a preferred transmission indicator when a condition for preferred transmission is met at the UE device. If a UE device receives a preferred transmission indicator, the UE device delays transmission of a D2D scheduling assignment (SA) to contend for communication resources for D2D communication. The length of the delay can be based on a number of preferred transmission indicators that are received. The preferred transmission indicator is based on a buffer size in one example.

The invention relates to a method for detecting a multimedia communication problem. In one aspect, this is implemented by an execution entity, in a processing phase. A message(s) is received that belongs to at least one stream to be monitored relating to at least one media stream. A correspondence between the received message(s) and rule(s) associated with a stream(s) to be monitored is verified. If verified an error detection massage is sent to a checking entity separate from the execution entity, via a rule management entity.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for automatic port identification. The present technology can involve determining that a wireless device has connected to a network device on a network, and determining which of the ports on the network device the wireless device has connected to. The determining the port connected to the wireless device can involve determining respective traffic patterns to be provided to selected ports on the network device, determining a traffic pattern transmitted by the wireless device, determining that the traffic pattern transmitted by the wireless device has a similarity to a traffic pattern from the respective traffic patterns, and based on the similarity, determining that a port associated with the traffic pattern is connected to the wireless device. The present technology can also involve selecting a port policy for the port.

Methods and systems are provided for processing received messages from the V2X network. The method may allow the vehicle to identify high priority messages and send them to the upper layers for further processing without any feedback mechanism from the upper layers. The method may ensure that the system processes all high priority messages even during high load and high congestion scenarios by intelligently selecting the messages that should be dropped at lower layers so, that the load at the processor is not increased thus controlling the system behavior in high load conditions. This avoids dropping of high priority messages due to the system not being able to handle the rate at which the messages are being received.

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured to, on a condition that a serving grant having a non-zero value is too small for transmission of a single protocol data unit (PDU) from any scheduled medium access control-d (MAC-d) flow, transmit scheduling information (SI). The WTRU is further configured to produce a trigger on the condition that the serving grant is too small and the transmission of the SI is based on the produced trigger.

Controlling data traffic of a communication network managed by a network operator, NWO. The data traffic includes first and second type traffic. The second type traffic is between a data service provider and an end user device provided by the OEM, and the first type traffic is between the OEM and the end user device. A controller acquires one or more device-specific second type traffic consumption parameters of the end user device, causing a downlink data traffic restrictor of the NWO to restrict downlink second type traffic between the data service provider and the end user device in accordance with the one or more device-specific second type traffic consumption parameters, and causes an uplink data traffic restrictor of the end user device to restrict uplink second type traffic between the data service provider and the end user device in accordance with the device-specific second type traffic consumption parameters.

Embodiments of the present invention may provide improved handling of communication characteristics, such as burstiness, latency-sensitive applications, bandwidth-sensitive applications, etc., to improve peak performance while not compromising other characteristics, such as thermal design power of the input/output chip packages. In an embodiment, in a control circuit that may be connected to and control a data transmitter, a method of transmitting data in a network may comprise receiving at least one feed-forward signal from the data transmitter, receiving at least one feedback signal from at least a first node of the network, comparing the at least one feed-forward signal with at least one threshold or condition, comparing the at least one feedback signal with at least one threshold or condition, and generating a signal indicating that a burst transmission should be started or stopped.

The present disclosure provides a method for forwarding to a Transport Control Protocol (TCP) receiver a TCP transmission sent from a TCP sender. The method includes: determining Time Division Duplex (TDD) reconfiguration time required for a TDD reconfiguration; comparing the TDD reconfiguration time with a predetermined threshold; suspending the forwarding of the TCP transmission to the TCP receiver during the TDD reconfiguration time if the TDD reconfiguration time is larger than the predetermined threshold; and resuming the suspended forwarding of the TCP transmission after the TDD reconfiguration time has lapsed. The present disclosure also provides a method for transmitting a TCP transmission to a TCP receiver, a base station and a user equipment.
