    Abstract: A method performed by a client device is provided. The method includes obtaining, by a client device, data for transmission to a network server. The method includes determining, by the client device, a plurality of intermediate network nodes for transmission of the data, wherein the plurality of the intermediate network nodes are communicatively coupled to the network server. The method includes encoding, by the client device, the data using an encoding scheme. The method includes transmitting, by the client device and according to a data transmission scheme, a plurality of instances of the encoded data to the plurality of intermediate network nodes for aggregation by the intermediate network nodes with data received from one or more other client devices. Also provided are methods performed by an intermediate network node and a network server. The methods can be performed by one or more processors of an apparatus.

    Abstract: A primary device may run a software application requiring a compute task. The primary device may receive statistics from a set of secondary devices over wireless communication links. The primary device may process the statistics to determine whether the compute task will be offloaded to the secondary devices or performed locally. The primary device may generate a distribution scheme for the secondary devices based on the statistics. This may involve modeling first delays associated with transmission of signals from the primary device to the secondary devices, second delays associated with transmission of compute results from the secondary devices to the primary device, and third delays associated with processing resources of the secondary devices. The optimized distribution scheme may minimize overall runtime of the compute task given the modeled delays, scheduling grants for the secondary devices, and a radio resource allocation for the secondary devices.

    Abstract: Machines or networked devices such as internet of things (IoT) devices operate to generate an unlicensed narrowband (U-NB) IoT communication based on time domain multiple carrier aggregation operations with component carriers. These component carriers can comprise a component carrier that is anchored to a long term evolution (LTE) licensed band, or entirely comprise unlicensed carrier components that are unanchored to the LTE component carrier in a standalone configuration. Communication circuitry such as a radio frequency interface can transmit the U-NB IoT communication in standalone communications over a low power IoT network in an unlicensed band.

    Abstract: A method for channel aware semantic coding (CASC) by a user equipment (UE), comprising: determining a quality level for a channel for a time period in which a video frame is being transmitted over the channel; determine, based on the quality level, one or more semantic elements to include in a semantic transcript stream (STS); encode the video frame with the one or more elements of the STS; and transmit the STS to a remote device.

    Abstract: A primary device may run a software application requiring a compute task. The primary device may receive statistics from a set of secondary devices over wireless communication links. The statistics may include parameters associated with the compute and communication capabilities of the secondary devices. The primary device may predict, based on the statistics, an expected performance gain in distributing the compute task to the secondary devices relative to performing the compute task locally. If the expected performance gain is high enough, the primary device may distribute shares of the compute task to the secondary devices over the wireless communication links. If the expected performance gain is low enough, the primary device may perform the compute task locally. If the expected performance gain is moderate, the primary device may update the set of secondary devices and/or may update a coding and distribution scheme for the compute task.

    Abstract: Various embodiments to enable Spectrum Access System (SAS) controlled interference management are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a memory to store network configuration data and a processing device coupled to the memory. The processing device to generate a protection band based on interference measurements. The protection band is allocated to at least one of the infrastructure node of a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network infrastructure. In this regard, the interference measurements are related to transmissions of data between infrastructure nodes of the LTE network infrastructure. Thereupon, a time slot is determined for the at least one of the infrastructure node based on the protection band. The time slot indicates an allocated time frame to access data in the LTE network infrastructure using a radio frequency in accordance with the protection band.
