  • Patent number: 11411768
    Abstract: The invention pertains to communication among stations interconnected by a ring of physical links, operating at a base symbol rate. Each station has an upstream and a downstream link and relays messages originating from the upstream link to its downstream link. Logical links are provided on the ring, each associated with a symbol rate divisor and a link index. Each station transmits messages composed of a strings of symbols on a selected logical link by transmitting the message on its downstream link at the base symbol rate divided by the symbol rate divisor associated with the selected logical link, and offset by the link index of the selected logical link.

  • Patent number: 11395291
    Abstract: The application relates to allocating transmission resources in communication networks that provide low latency services. A terminal receives, from a base station time-frequency resource division information, which indicates a division of a time-frequency resource that is allowed to be used by another service. The division of the time-frequency resource includes one or more resource units in time domain and one or more resource units in frequency domain. The terminal further receives from the base station time-frequency resource indication information, which indicates that, in the time-frequency resource that is allowed to be used by the other service, at least one time domain resource unit and at least one frequency domain resource unit are occupied by the other service. The terminal communicates with the base station using the time-frequency resource except the at least one time-domain resource unit and at least one frequency-domain resource unit that are occupied by the other service.

  • Patent number: 11394661
    Abstract: Techniques are described for using compositional reasoning techniques to perform role reachability analyses relative to collections of user accounts and roles of a cloud provider network. Delegated role-based resource management generally is a method for controlling access to resources in cloud provider networks and other distributed systems. Many cloud provider networks, for example, implement identity and access management subsystems using this approach, where the concept of “roles” is used to specify which resources can be accessed by people, software, or (recursively) by other roles. An abstraction of the role reachability analysis is provided that can be used as input to a model-checking application to reason about such role reachability questions (e.g., which roles of an organization are reachable from other roles).

  • Patent number: 11368401
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains, from a plurality of routers in a network, a set of routing patches that collectively specify a first set of paths in the network, a second set of paths in the network, and time periods during which traffic is to be rerouted from one of the first set of paths to one of the second set of paths in the network. The device identifies overlapping path segments of the second set of paths in the network. The device makes, based in part on the overlapping path segments, a prediction that two or more of the set of routing patches will cause congestion along paths with overlapping path segments. The device adjusts, based on the prediction, the set of routing patches, to avoid causing the congestion.

  • Patent number: 11362949
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for managing path counts at a router. The techniques include monitoring available storage space at a router for storing per prefix routes. In an instance where the available storage space at the router may be inadequate to support continued, stable network operations, the techniques include reducing an amount of per prefix routes that are advertised to the router. The techniques may also include withdrawing previously advertised per prefix routes from the router. As such, path count management concepts may help prevent overload of storage space at a router.
