    摘要: The present disclosure is related to multi-access traffic management in multi-access computing environments. A reliability enhancement engine (REE) operated by a multi-access multipath traffic manager identifies traffic flows that have high reliability requirements (“reliability flows”) and performs admission control for the reliability flows. The REE determines a coding rate (e.g., a redundancy factor) and traffic distribution strategies for the identified reliability flows. The REE applies cross-access network coding (NC) on the reliability flows, and handles multi-access acknowledgements and traffic pacing, which may involve multiplexing traffic of the reliability flows with non-high-reliability traffic. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    摘要: Systems and methods of beamforming and improving mmWave communications for drones are described. Multiple RF chains are used to adapt the main beam to track changes without the use of pilot signals. To reduce interference, interfering signal power is eliminated by optimizing a non-Gaussian measure to extract the interferers. The AoA of signals from a target drone on neighbouring drones and location of the neighbouring drones and base stations are used to independently corroborate the location reported by the target drone. The base station provides additional synchronization signals below 6 GHz and restricts the search/measurement space in the vertical direction. The inherent sparse structure above 6 GHz is exploited by applying different beamformers on a sounding signal and estimating the AoA and impulse response. Variations of fully digital and hybrid beamforming architectures for multi-cell DL sync and CRS measurement are described.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed provide an apparatus comprising a data manager to transmit a first signal to a discovery drone, the first signal to cause the discovery drone to discover user equipment in an environment, the user equipment outside of a first network including a first drone; and collect one or more values corresponding to the user equipment; a utility function determiner to, in response to a trigger event corresponding to the one or more values, determine a first position of the first drone in the environment; and a navigation dispatcher to transmit a second signal to the first drone, the second signal to cause the first drone to regulate the first position to establish one or more connections between the user equipment and the first network.

    摘要: To configure a UT for handover between a source evolved Node-B (eNB) and a target eNB using aerial communications in a cellular network, the UE processing circuitry is to decode measurement configuration information from the source eNB. The measurement configuration information includes a plurality of height thresholds associated with aerial height of the UE. A measurement report is encoded for transmission to the source eNB. The measurement report includes the aerial height of the UE and the measurement report generation triggered based on one or more triggering events associated with the plurality of height thresholds. RRC signaling from the source eNB is decoded, the RRC signaling including a handover command. The handover command is based on a handover decision by the source eNB using the measurement report. A handover from the source eNB to the target eNB is performed based on the handover command.

    摘要: The present disclosure is related to Multi-Access Management Services (MAMS), which is a programmable framework that provides mechanisms for the flexible selection of network paths in a multi-access (MX) communication environment, based on an application's needs. Generic Multi-Access (GMA) functions are also integrated into the MAMS framework. The present disclosure discusses Per-Packet Prioritization (PPP), intra-flow classification, and Active Queue Management (AQM) techniques for MAMS/GMA systems. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
