A client device is configured to communicate with an access point over a wireless network, exchanging data with the access point over a selected communication channel. The client device stores an identifier of the selected communication channel. After the wireless connection to the access point has ended, the client device initiates a process to reconnect to the access point over the selected communication channel using the stored identifier.

A first distant apparatus performs communication of streaming data and other data for which a change in data transfer rate is required to be suppressed, and a second distant apparatus performs communication of phone book data and other data for which a change in data transfer rate is permitted. When communication with the first distant apparatus and communication with the second distant apparatus are concurrently performed, a first communication unit is selected for communication with the first distant apparatus and a second communication unit, which is faster than the first communication unit, is selected for communication with the second distant apparatus. Thus, it is possible to make a collision in communication less likely to occur, and to maintain the communication quality of the first type of data.

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.

An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to: acquire mobile body information including information that indicates the respective positions of a plurality of mobile bodies that are usable for machine learning; and select two or more mobile bodies to be used for machine learning based on the mobile body information.

A method may comprise transmitting using a first uplink carrier and receiving a signal using a first downlink carrier. The signal may include a message indicating activation of a second uplink carrier. A method may further comprise initiating, based on the message, a timer associated with deactivation of the second uplink carrier. The method may further comprise transmitting using the second uplink carrier activated based on the message and deactivating the second uplink carrier on a condition that expiration of the timer is detected.

A method for organizing a data transmission network relates to information technologies and is intended to create an information transmission network between two or more points at a distance. The technical result of the claimed solution is a simplification in structure and a reduction in build time and the cost of network usage. The method is built on a node indexing algorithm based on a minimum number of packet retransmissions from modem to node. The method allows the use of a plurality of optionally moveable modems in a network and the use of wired and wireless networks, does not require the presence of a powerful base station, does not require additional time for rebuilding a network when signal transmission conditions are changed or when the number of nodes in a network is changed, allows a network structure to be built and the built structure to be further optimized, and does not require the nodes to store information about the network environment, which substantially lowers the cost of the solution.

Some embodiments provide a method of transmitting data in a logical network with multiple branches and a hub cluster with multiple hubs of a first category of hubs and multiple hubs of a second category of hubs. The method, for each of the multiple branches (1) assigns a first hub of the first category of hubs to the branch (2) assigns a second hub of the second category of hubs to the branch, and (3) provides a set of application based policies to the branch. The application based policies direct the branch to route different types of network traffic of the application through the first hub than through the second hub. Each hub of the first category of hubs, in some embodiments, includes a set of resources equivalent to a set of resources of each other hub of the first category of hubs.

A method including receiving, by a device in communication with a first endpoint and a second endpoint in a mesh network, a first communication from the first endpoint and a second communication from the second endpoint; selectively comparing, by the device, first observed connection state information associated with the first communication with the stored connection state information associated with outgoing communications transmitted by the device, and second observed connection state information associated with the second communication with the stored connection state information; and selectively processing, by the device, the first communication based at least in part on a result of selectively comparing the first observed connection state information with the stored connection state information, and the second communication based at least in part on a result of selectively comparing the second observed connection state information with the stored connection state information. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE), such as a pedestrian UE, may perform a discovery procedure with a second UE in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) wireless communications environment that includes multiple other UEs in addition to the first UE and the second UE. The second UE may, for example, be a roadside UE configured to aggregate V2X messages for the first UE. The first UE may determine, based on performing the discovery procedure, a schedule for the first UE to use to receive bundled V2X messages from the second UE. The first UE may receive, from the second UE based on the determined schedule, a message indicating bundled information from multiple V2X messages received at the second UE from the multiple UEs.

Method and system for performance assurance in a network slice subset instance (NSSI) or a network slice instance (NSI) of a network. The method comprises receiving, at a network management function (OAM) of the network, a trigger indicating a network performance deficiency; based on the trigger, determining, by a data analytics (DAM) function of the OAM (OAM DAM) in coordination with a network analytics function of one of the core network and a radio access network (RAN), an NSI/NSSI modification; and implementing, by the OAM, a change in at least one of: NSI/NSSI policies, configurations in at least one of core network functions, the RAN and network resources, in accordance with the NSF NSSI modification.
