A routing device for forwarding data packets in a data network is described. The routing device establishes a communicative connection with multiple other such routing devices that implement the same functions. A data network includes multiple routing devices as described herein. In that data network, each routing device implements and applies a proactive approach with routing tables in a stable part of the data network, and a reactive approach in an unstable part of the data network. When a packet is transmitted from a stable part of the data network to an unstable part of the data network (or vice versa), the forwarding approach is changed along the path of the packet. Thus, the routing device and the data network mitigate the effect of overhead of proactive routing approaches and the latency of reactive routing approaches.

A method for balancing inroute traffic load that contains both guaranteed QoS and best effort traffic. Hierarchical grouping levels are defined with the lowest level corresponding to inroutes within the system. Certain levels have common symbol rates, modulation rates, or both. When a new terminal requires admission, it is assigned to entries in the different hierarchical levels so that the inroute traffic load across all levels are balanced. Terminals are admitted to inroutes based, in part, on their channel quality indicator. Inroute traffic load can periodically rebalance based on elapsed time or terminal redistribution.

A wireless communication system includes a plurality of wireless communication apparatuses that transmit a wireless frame to a terminal, and a control apparatus, and the wireless communication apparatus transmits information representing the number of retransmissions of the wireless frame to the control apparatus, and the control apparatus acquires the information representing the number of retransmissions of the wireless frame, selects the wireless communication apparatus in accordance with the number of retransmissions, and causes the selected wireless communication apparatus to start transmitting the wireless frame.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first wireless node may receive a first indication of an energy-saving configuration for traffic routing associated with a traffic path between the first wireless node and a second wireless node. The first wireless node may transmit a second indication of the energy-saving configuration for traffic routing to the second wireless node. The first wireless node may communicate, with the second wireless node on the traffic path, in accordance with the energy-saving configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.

A communications system, e.g. an Internet-of-Things (IoT) communications system, includes satellite gateways in addition to terrestrial gateways. High QoS end point devices utilize communications via satellite gateway to be able to communicate with a network server when communications with the network server via terrestrial gateways are unavailable or unreliable. Low QoS end point devices may communicate with the network server via terrestrial gateways but are restricted from using the satellite gateways. An additional receive window, corresponding to the satellite gateway, is used for communicating downlink signals from the satellite gateway to the high QoS end point device.
