Abstract:
Group resource allocation techniques for IEEE 802.16m are generally presented. In this regard a method is introduced comprising generating a plurality of bitmaps to identify resource allocations and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) modes for a group of broadband wireless mobile stations, wherein each mobile station in the group is assigned a position within a user bitmap to identify whether the mobile station is allocated frame resources and wherein the position within one or more MIMO bitmap(s) to identify a MIMO mode, and transmitting the bitmaps in a group resource allocation (GRA) information element (IE) of a broadband wireless media access protocol (MAP) frame portion. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a host interface; a network interface; hardware storage to store a flow table; and programmable circuitry comprising processors to implement network interface functionality and to: implement a hash table and an age context table, wherein the hash table and the age context table are to reference flow rules maintained in the flow table; process a synchronization packet for a flow by adding a flow rule for the flow to the flow table, adding a hash entry corresponding to the flow rule to the hash table, and adding an age context entry for the flow to the age context table; and process subsequent packets for the flow by performing a first lookup at the hash table to access the flow rule at the flow table and by performing a second lookup at the age context table to apply aging rules to the flow rule in the flow table.
Abstract:
An apparatus that transmits Advanced-MAP (A-MAP) information in a mobile communication network determines whether or not to split an information element to two or more parts that will be transmitted in two or more logical resource units. Each part of information element in a logical resource unit includes an indicator to indicate that a second part exists in another subsequent logical resource unit. In one embodiment, the mobile communication network is used in conjunction with orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) techniques.
