    摘要: An Internet-of-Things (IOT) proxy includes storage hardware configured to store first and second state information. The first state information defines first contexts for flows associated with a plurality of IoT devices. The plurality of electronic devices have established a corresponding plurality of first sessions that are terminated by the IoT proxy. The second state information defines second contexts for the flows associated with the plurality of IoT devices. The second state information is associated with a second session that has been established between the proxy and a server or an other electronic device. The IoT proxy also includes computing hardware configured to modify headers of packets associated with the IoT devices based on at least one of the first state information or the second state information. In some cases, the IoT proxy is implemented as a virtual network slice in a network function virtualization (NFV) architecture.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for reducing channel information feedback in communication networks. For example, a method comprises the following steps. A set of mobile terminals and a set of base stations designated to participate in a coordinated multipoint transmission protocol in a communication network are identified. One or more unique downlink communication resource blocks are assigned to each designated mobile terminal that is located in a given first sector of a designated base station. As such, each designated mobile terminal in the first sector of the designated base station: (i) performs a channel state estimation process in response to respective signals received from the designated base stations in the one or more unique downlink communication resource blocks assigned to that designated mobile terminal; and (ii) transmits resulting channel state information back to at least one of the designated base stations.

    摘要: A capability for opportunistic forwarding of information using a wireless terminal is presented. An energy limited node includes a wake-up circuit configured to detect a wake-up signal from a wireless terminal where the wake-up signal includes a modulated waveform signal, and a communication module configured to switch, based on a control signal generated by the wake-up circuit, from a sleep mode in which the communication module is not operable to communicate with the wireless terminal to an active mode in which the communication module is operable to communicate with the wireless terminal. A wireless terminal includes a first wireless communication interface configured for communication with a device using a wireless communication protocol, a second wireless communication interface configured for wireless communication with a wireless access node of a wireless network, and a processor configured to support opportunistic forwarding of information between the device and the wireless access node of the wireless network.
