20220264365 | WIRELESS NETWORK SLICE OPTIMIZATION FOR USER APPLICATIONS - A data communication network serves User Equipment (UE) over an optimal wireless network slice for a user application. A Network Exposure Function (NEF) receives a notice message indicating a UE Identifier (ID) for the UE and an application ID for the user application when the UE downloads the user application. In response, the NEF transfers a download message indicating the UE ID and the application ID to a network control-plane. The network control-plane receives the download message from the NEF, and in response, selects a slice ID for the optimal network slice based on the application ID for the user application. The network control-plane transfers a slice message indicating the application ID and the slice ID to the UE. In response to the slice message, the UE uses the optimal network slice when executing the user application. | 2022-08-18 |
20220264366 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING DATA UNIT BASED ON PDCP DUPLICATION STATE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a method of transmitting a data unit by a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Especially, the PDCP entity is associated with at least two radio link control (RLC) entities and is configured with PDCP duplication. Further, the method includes the steps of receiving a PDCP service data unit (SDU) from an upper layer; constructing a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU) using the PDCP SDU; duplicating the PDCP PDU based on the PDCP duplication being activated; and transmitting the PDCP PDU and at least one duplicated PDCP PDU to the at least two RLC entity, wherein, based on the PDCP duplication being activated, constructing the PDCP PDU comprises compressing the PDCP SDU. | 2022-08-18 |
20220264367 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, PROCESSING APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A communication apparatus capable of performing wireless communication conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard includes a transmission unit configured to transmit a wireless frame having preambles and data fields of a physical layer (PHY). The preambles include a Legacy Short Training Field (L-STF), a Legacy Long Training Field (L-LTF), a Legacy Signal Field (L-SIG), an Extremely High Throughput Signal A Field (EHT-SIG-A), an EHT Short Training Field (EHT-STF), and an EHT Long Training Field (EHT-LTF). The EHT-SIG-A includes information about Preamble Puncturing in a case where a 320 MHz frequency bandwidth is to be used by the communication apparatus. | 2022-08-18 |
20220264368 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING A PACKET IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A communication technique for converging a 5G communication system, which is provided to support a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system with an IoT technology, and a system therefor applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety related service, or the like) based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT related technology by re-establishing a PDCP entity for a header compression protocol and activating uplink semi-persistent scheduling. | 2022-08-18 |
20220264369 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC RULE DETERMINATION FOR USER PLANE DATA IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - A system described herein may identify traffic to be processed by a gateway device. The system may evaluate one or more parameters of the traffic based on a first set of conditions, and identify a first condition that is applicable to the traffic. The system may evaluate, based on identifying the first condition, the one or more parameters based on a second set of conditions and identify a second condition, of the second set of conditions, that is applicable to the traffic. The system may further identify one or more actions to perform with respect to the traffic based on the identified first and second conditions, and instruct the gateway device to perform the one or more actions on the traffic prior to outputting the traffic from the gateway device. | 2022-08-18 |
20220264370 | Policy Control for Multiple Accesses - A wireless device sends a registration request message to an access and mobility management function (AMF) of a network. The wireless device receives, from the AMF, a registration accept message comprising an access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) capability indication of the network. | 2022-08-18 |
20220264371 | System, Device, and Method of Cellular Congestion Management Without Cell Awareness - System, device, and method of cellular congestion management without cell awareness. A system defines applications as important or non-important. The system measures and monitors parameters related to cellular traffic, and remotely generates an estimate that a first User Equipment (UE) is experiencing cellular traffic congestion. A Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Engine determines that the first UE is utilizing a first communication flow associated with an Important Application, and is also utilizing a second communication flow associated with a Non-Important Application. Filtering pass-through bitrate limits are enforced, selectively and remotely, on communication flows of the first UE, by enforcing a reduced bitrate limit on the second communication flow that is associated with a Non-Important Application, and by not enforcing a reduced bitrate limit on the first communication flow that is associated with an Important Application. | 2022-08-18 |
