  • Patent number: 11743166
    Abstract: Techniques are described for provisioning non-colored segment routing label switched paths (LSPs) via segment routing policies in border gateway protocol (BGP). For example, an ingress router receives a segment routing policy advertisement specifying an endpoint of one or more paths, and a policy color field of the one or more paths, wherein the policy color field is specified with a designated value that causes the network device to store the one or more paths in a data structure that stores non-colored paths. The ingress router determines that the policy color is specified with the designated value. The ingress router, in response to determining that the policy color is specified with the designated value, stores the one or more paths in the data structure that stores non-colored paths.

  • Patent number: 11722279
    Abstract: A method and system for minimizing the control overhead in a multi-carrier wireless communication network that utilizes a time-frequency resource is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more zones in the time-frequency resource are designated for particular applications, such as a zone dedicated for voice-over-IP (VoIP) applications. By grouping applications of a similar type together within a zone, a reduction in the number of bits necessary for mapping a packet stream to a portion of the time-frequency resource can be achieved. In some embodiments, modular coding schemes associated with the packet streams may be selected that further reduce the amount of necessary control information. In some embodiments, packets may be classified for transmission in accordance with application type, QoS parameters, and other properties. In some embodiments, improved control messages may be constructed to facilitate the control process and minimize associated overhead.
