    Abstract: A path establishment method and apparatus, a terminal, and a network-side device. The path establishment method of embodiments of this application includes: When a first path is established, a first terminal establishes a second path with a network-side device. The first path is a direct path for the first terminal to communicate directly with the network-side device, and the second path is an indirect path for the first terminal to communicate with the network-side device by using a second terminal; or the first path is an indirect path for the first terminal to communicate with the network-side device by using the second terminal, and the second path is a direct path for the first terminal to communicate directly with the network-side device.

    Abstract: We generally describe an apparatus (200, 300) for user plane traffic quality analysis in a wireless communication network, the apparatus (200, 300) comprising: an interface configured to be coupled to a user plane probe (214) arranged on a bidirectional user plane traffic flow path of user plane traffic flowing through the wireless communication network between a first terminal (202) and a second terminal (204) of the wireless communication network, and an estimation unit (706) coupled to the interface, wherein the estimation unit (706) is configured to estimate, based on a probing, by the user plane probe (214), of the user plane traffic flowing in a first direction (304) in a first segment (301) of the user plane traffic flow path from the first terminal (202) to the user plane probe (214), a user plane traffic quality of the user plane traffic flowing in a second direction (310) in the first segment (301) from the user plane probe (214) to the first terminal (202), wherein the first direction (304) is opposite to the second direction (310), and wherein the user plane traffic is not testable via the user plane probe (214) in the second direction (310).

    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for updating a UL split threshold for a 4G leg and 5G leg for a number of split Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) using a Near-Real Time RIC or 5G Central Unit. A Near-Real Time RIC or 5G Central Unit subscribes to receive UL split threshold parameters from a gNB or eNB E2 node to determine whether to change the values of UL split threshold parameters for UL split DRBs. If so, the UL split threshold parameters are updated at the E2 node and communicated to the UE.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provides methods, apparatus, and media to allocate resources in a network. In one embodiment, the method comprises identifying a request to route a traffic flow based on a policy, and for the identified request, selecting a source and destination node from a plurality of alternatives, and a path between the source and destination nodes for the traffic flow. The source and destination nodes and the path are selected based on a gain function, where the selection comprises generating values of the gain function, each value being generated based on bandwidth availability for future bandwidth requests as well as aggregability of the traffic flow and other traffic flows determined using candidates from the plurality of node pair alternatives and the plurality of path alternatives. The method also includes routing the traffic flow between the selected source and destination nodes along the selected path in the network.
