    摘要: An apparatus, comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry is disclosed. The at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least, upon receipt of a deterministic data flow of data packets having a logical relation to each other, to identify the deterministic data flow based on a first control information provided at the apparatus. The apparatus is further at least caused to switch a forwarding status of the apparatus between a first status and a second status based on a second control information, and, in the first status, to decide whether to buffer or discard a data packet of the deterministic data flow of data packets based on a third control information.

    摘要: An apparatus for use by a communication network control element or function configured to conduct a communication control for a communication with at least one communication element or function in a communication network, the apparatus comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to determine network properties of the communication network related to a time required for a data transmission from an entry point to an exit point of the communication network via at least one transmission path using at least one network element or function of the communication network, to provide an indication related to the determined network properties to a transmission party, to receive and process setting information for a data stream to be transmitted via the communication network to a destination within a defined time scheduling, to calculate, on the basis of the determined network properties and the defined time scheduling, possible routes from the entry point to at least one exit point in the communication network, to select at least one of the possible routes in the communication network allowing to transmit the data stream from the entry point to the destination in the defined time scheduling, and to activate the selected at least one route by causing transmission of the data stream from the entry point via the network elements or functions forming the at least one route to the destination.

    摘要: It is provided a method, comprising generating a user plane parameter; generating an instance identifier such that the instance identifier is unambiguously derivable from the user plane parameter according to a predefined mapping rule; performing a control plane communication to enable a user plane communication, wherein the control plane communication comprises the user plane parameter; performing the user plane communication as an ethernet communication, wherein each packet of the user plane communication is identified by the instance identifier; wherein the user plane communication carries a payload, and the control plane communication does not carry any payload.

    摘要: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for enhancement on the IAB network. The method comprises: in accordance with a determination that a first terminal device and a first network device roams from a first network to a second network, transmitting a roaming indication to a second network device associated with the second network, the first terminal device and the first network device acting as an IAB node in the first network; causing the roaming of the first network device to be authorized by a third network device of the second network; and communicating in the second network via the first network device, the first network device operating based on parameters associated with the second network. As such, when an IAB node travels across different countries/regions, the service continuity, security, regulatory requirements associated with the IAB node can be guaranteed.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for integrated access and backhaul (IAB) communication. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a first Donor-central unit (CU) from a first operator (which is a participating operator) obtains identification information concerning at least one of a second Donor-CU from a second operator (which is a hosting operator) and an IAB node from the second operator and shared for the first operator. The first Donor-CU determines an association of the shared IAB node to the second Donor-CU based on the obtained identification information. Based on the determined association, the first Donor-CU transmits to the second Donor-CU a request for configuring a channel towards to the shared IAB node. In this way, the IAB node of the second operator can be shared with the first operator and the first operator can operate cells and serve UEs via the IAB backhaul network of the second operator. This provides improved flexibility for sharing of IAB deployments and capital expenditure of the participating operator can be reduced.
