  • Patent number: 11271872
    Abstract: An aggregated switch PBR system includes aggregated switches coupled together by an ICL and to a first core switch by a first LAG. A first aggregated switch includes a first link in the first LAG, and a second link to a second core switch. The first aggregated switch provides a first PBR entry in its PBR table that redirects packets initially provided for forwarding via the second link to the second core switch such that those packets are forwarded via the first link to the first core switch. When the first link becomes unavailable, the first aggregated switch provides a second PBR entry in its PBR table that redirects the packets initially provided for forwarding via the second link to the second core switch such that those packets are forwarded via the ICL to the second aggregated switch for transmission via the first LAG to the first core switch.

  • Patent number: 11265250
    Abstract: This disclosure involves applying rate limits to violating tenant computing devices causing resource consumption violations at system components identified via violation evaluation processes. A system identifies a resource consumption violation with respect to a computing system hosting an online service. The system retrieves log data identifying tenant systems that accessed the memory resource during a particular time period in which the resource consumption violation impacted performance of the online service. The system determines, from the log data, that a violator tenant system accessing the online service caused the resource consumption violation. The system enforces a rate limit against the violator tenant system rather than other tenant systems identified in the log data.

  • Patent number: 11229028
    Abstract: The present technology provides a computer-implemented method and system for performing frequency selective scheduling between a user equipment (UE) and a base station. The UE selects a sub-band within a predetermined system bandwidth based on observed radio conditions. The UE then communicates the selected sub-band to the base station. The base station then selects a LTE resource block having a frequency range falling within the sub-band. The selected resource block is then used for communication between the base station and the UE. The process may be repeated at a frequency related to the channel coherence.

  • Patent number: 11229047
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, devices may implement transmission repetitions for transport blocks (TBs) to improve reception reliability. To support low latency, TBs may be transmitted in any transmission time interval (TTI) or mini-slot within a subframe or slot. The systems may implement processes to handle these TB repetitions near slot or subframe boundaries. For example, different resources in time for an initial TB transmission may correspond to different numbers of repetitions to avoid crossing defined boundaries. In some cases, TB transmission parameters, numbers of repetitions, or both may be modified based on a repetition window spanning multiple slots or subframes. A base station may transmit a grant indicating the initial resource in time, and a user equipment (UE) may determine the number of transmission repetitions for a TB based on a proximity of the initial resource in time to a defined boundary.
