Aspects of the disclosure relate to a coexistence of a first radio access technology (RAT), such as a fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) technology with a second RAT, such as a narrow-band internet-of-things (NB-IOT) technology. In a first aspect, a 5G NR resource block size and an NB-IOT resource block size are defined, and a compatible alignment of an NB-IOT resource block and a 5G NR resource block is identified. An offset associated with the compatible alignment is then determined in which the offset is within a threshold offset and facilitates an identification of a valid NB-IOT resource block. In a second aspect, an offset associated with a compatible alignment of a 5G NR resource block and an NB-IOT resource block is ascertained, and a channel raster is shifted according to the offset associated with the compatible alignment.

Ingestible bio-telemetry communication network and associated systems are described. The communication network can include one or more ingestible bio-telemetry tags; and a reader, wherein each of the one or more ingestible bio-telemetry tags generates an out-link signal comprising, for each bit of data in a frame, a pulse reverse keyed symbol. Multiple ingestible bio-telemetry tags can be managed at the same time by allowing the frequency of the transmit carrier signal to change, or "hop" to different frequencies so as to minimize likelihood of collision. A reader can identify the proper frequency either by a signal from the tags indicated the frequency of the next hop or, when no bi-directional communication is available, by deducing the carrier signal frequency from the start bits of a received frame from the tag and scanning for the shifted carrier signal frequency within a tolerance of the deduced carrier signal frequency.

Technique for improving ldp-igp synchronization

Принадлежит: Cisco Technology Inc

A technique may improve LDP-IGP synchronization in a MPLS network when an interface of a router coupled to a communications link along a shortest path between a source router and a destination router becomes newly active. Specifically, an IGP adjacency may be held down over the newly active link while a LDP adjacency is established over the link. The router may inject a temporary, non-redistributable route having a large administrative weight into its routing table utilizing addresses learned during establishment of the LDP adjacency. The injected route ensures that there is a reachable route to a peer router so that LDP may converge. After LDP has converged and all needed label bindings have been distributed in the MPLS network utilizing the injected route, IGP executing on the router may advertise a normal cost metric for the link associated with the newly active interface, and IGP convergence may be completed.
