Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to resource scheduling between network nodes. In example embodiments, a method comprises allocating, at a first network node, a first set of resources from a first resource pool for backhaul communication with a second network node in a network via a first link, the first resource pool comprising uplink and downlink resources shared with a first terminal device served by the first network node; transmitting a first indication of the first set of resources to the second network node; and receiving a second indication of a second set of resources from a second resource pool for the backhaul communication with the second network node via a second link, the second resource pool comprising uplink and downlink resources shared with a second terminal device served by the second network node. In this way, it is possible to achieve flexible resource scheduling among the network nodes.

Resource scheduling between network nodes

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device and a computer-readable medium for guaranteeing communication service. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a source network device that currently serves the terminal device transmits, to a target network device which will serve the terminal device, information about the amount of resources of network slices utilized by the terminal device. The target network device configures the amount of resources based on the information. In this way, successful handover of the terminal device from the source network device to the target network device is guaranteed, so as to ensure continuity of communication services of the terminal device. In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure creates a network slice in the target network device, which avoids possible interruptions of communication service caused by mapping from the terminal device to the slices supported by the target network device.

Method, device and computer-readable medium for guaranteeing communication service

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, device and computer readable storage medium implemented at a relay device. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the relay device determines whether a terminal device served by a network slice has to be handed over. In a case of determining that the terminal device has to be handed over, the relay device sends a request for local information to at least one candidate relay device, and the local information includes at least one of information associated with a backhaul link from a candidate relay device to a network device and slice configuration information of the candidate relay device. Based on the received local information, the relay device determines a candidate relay device for handover of the terminal device. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the relay device determines the candidate relay device to which the terminal device has to be handed over, based at least on the information associated with a backhaul link and the information associated with a network slice, so as to satisfy network slice configuration requirement and ensure backhaul quality of the terminal device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus of obtaining feedback of HARQ acknowledgment information. The method comprises allocating to UE an uplink control channel resource for report of HARQ acknowledgment information related to downlink data transmission on an unlicensed carrier. The method also comprises obtaining feedback of the HARQ acknowledgment information from the UE within a predefined deferral window. The predefined deferral window specifies a minimum delay and a maximum delay for report of the HARQ acknowledgment information. The embodiments of the present disclosure may increase the reliability and reduce the latency of HARQ acknowledgment information feedback. In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure may not only be for LAA scenarios, but also may be extended to standalone LAA access scenarios on unlicensed carriers.

Method and apparatus of obtaining feedback of HARQ acknowledgment information

The present invention discloses an interventional medical device and methods of making the same. At least one coating layer is disposed on the outer surface of the interventional medical device and the material of the outmost layer of the coating layer is a sulfonate group-containing polymer. In the present invention, the material of the outmost layer of the interventional medical device is a sulfonate group-containing polymer. The polymer is endowed with a same surface property as that of heparin in addition to appropriate hydrophilicity due to the presence of the sulfonate group. After the interventional medical device is implanted into the human body, a hydrophilic surface is formed on the outer surface of the interventional medical device which is also negatively charged in the body fluid. Therefore, cells can easily adhere and grow on the outer surface thereof as a result of the enhanced cell compatibility. Furthermore, due to a surface property that is the same as that of heparin, the material is provided with excellent anticoagulant properties which inhibit the thrombosis and lower down the incidence rate of post-operational complications.
