Patent number: 11265250Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Jan Bolten, Gereon Frey

Patent number: 11229047Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: Seyedkianoush Hosseini, Wanshi Chen
