Apparatuses for partially offloading processing from a user equipment (UE) to a cellular Radio Access Network (RAN) node are disclosed. An apparatus for a UE includes at least one processor configured to perform Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) processing and offload only a portion of the TCP/IP processing to a cellular RAN node while maintaining TCP protocols running end-to-end between the UE and a remote host.

Apparatuses for partially offloading protocol processing

Disclosed embodiments are related to techniques for implementing Multiple Access Management Services (MAMS), Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), and 3GPP Fifth Generation (5G) technologies. Embodiments include enhanced application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow applications to influence multi-access (MA) traffic steering decisions, and also get informed of various MA traffic steering modes. Disclosed embodiments also include techniques to enable coexistence between MEC-based MAMS systems and 5G MA traffic steering mechanisms. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Technologies for control and management of multiple traffic steering services

Disclosed embodiments generally relate to edge-based multi-Radio Access Technology (RAT) traffic management (TM) solutions to support delay-sensitive traffic over heterogeneous networks. Embodiments include delay-aware TM implementations that split and/or steer network traffic across different RATs for the edge network control plane. Embodiments also include utilization threshold-based implementations to achieve delay-aware multi-path TM at the network's edge. The multi-path TM includes multi-RAT, multi-access, or multi-connectivity traffic routes. Embodiments include strategies to sort users (or devices) for making multi-RAT traffic distribution decisions and to determinate the utilization thresholds. Embodiments also include message exchange mechanisms or learning utilization thresholds and other useful system properties. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Multi-radio access technology traffic management

The present disclosure is related to multi-queue management techniques and packet reordering techniques for inter-radio access technology (RAT) and intra-RAT traffic steering. The multi-queue management and packet reordering techniques may be used in Multi-Access Management Services (MAMS) framework, 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. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Devices, methods, user equipment (UE), base stations, storage media, and other embodiments are provided for a dynamic random access channel (RACH). In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a memory configured to store a configuration communication from a base station, the configuration communication comprising a dynamic dedicated random access channel (RACH) configuration (RACH-ConfigDedicated) information element, the RACH-ConfigDedicated information element comprising a plurality of dedicated random access parameters. Processing circuitry coupled to the memory is then configured to decode the configuration communication from the base station to identify the plurality of dedicated random access parameters and set up a RACH procedure for connection to the base station using the plurality of dedicated random access parameters. In various embodiments, different communications may be used for the dedicated random access parameters which are used in the RACH procedure.

Multi-access management service queueing and reordering techniques

A next generation NodeB (gNB) implements a radio access network (RAN) convergence functionality for new radio (NR) and wireless local area network (WLAN) access, the gNB further implementing a split architecture comprising a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU) for each of the NR access and WLAN access. The gNB receives a data packet for transmission to a user equipment (UE) implementing the RAN convergence functionality, the data packet comprising one of a control plane (CP) packet or a user plane (UP) packet. The gNB splits the data packet via a convergence layer residing on the NR CU or a convergence layer residing on the WLAN CU and transmits the split data packet over the NR access and the WLAN access.

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media, are provided for offloading computationally intensive tasks from one computer device to another computer device taking into account, inter alia, energy consumption and latency budgets for both computation and communication. Embodiments may also exploit multiple radio access technologies (RATs) in order to find opportunities to offload computational tasks by taking into account, for example, network/RAT functionalities, processing, offloading coding/encoding mechanisms, and/or differentiating traffic between different RATs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
