  • Patent number: 10944694
    Abstract: This patent application relates generally to a predictive arbitration circuit for use in arbitrating access by a number of data streams to a shared resource managed by a destination (arbiter), where each data stream is associated with a number of sources competing for the shared resource, and the destination provides access to the shared resource based on the number of sources competing for the shared resource rather than just on the number of data streams. Among other things, this approach can more fairly distribute access to the shared resource among the competing sources.

  • Patent number: 10939349
    Abstract: A content streaming apparatus, method, and computer readable media steer a client device to from one wireless access point to another based on usage history of the client device. A controller is configured to establish a wireless streaming session between one or more access points and one or more client devices. An initial profile category is assigned by one or more access point to the client device based on one or more profile categories. A self-learning algorithm is executed to collect usage data of the client device and store the usage to create a usage history profile for the client device. The controller provides instruction to steer the client device to one of the access points based on the usage history profile of the client. Preferably, the content streaming apparatus is a home network controller. From the software/client end a steering app is downloadable to the client device for executing software associated with the self-learning algorithm.

  • Patent number: 10939462
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention propose a D2D communications method, apparatus, and system. In the solution, a D2D SPS available period in which a first terminal is capable of using a D2D SPS resource is greater than one SC period. Therefore, in the D2D SPS available period, the first terminal needs to determine the D2D SPS resource only one time, and a second terminal also needs to decode SCI only one time to determine the D2D SPS resource. In this way, the first terminal does not need to determine a D2D SPS resource in each SC period, and the second terminal also does not need to decode SCI in each SC period to determine the D2D SPS resource. Therefore, D2D communication efficiency is improved.

  • Patent number: 10932015
    Abstract: There is provided herein a system and method for automatic configuration of data routings for use with electronic data such as phone calls, faxes, etc. In the preferred embodiment, when more than one carrier might potentially terminate the transmission, the carriers are ordered based on some screening criterion (e.g., transmission price). Data transmissions are then assigned to the carriers based on the sorting order, with the second place and lower carriers (e.g., the higher priced carriers) not being selected unless the first carrier cannot complete the transaction. The switch instructions necessary to implement this scheme are generated automatically.

  • Patent number: 10932286
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A receiving device may detect a signal associated with low latency transmissions and decode a non-low latency communication accordingly. The receiving device may receive an indicator from a transmitting device that indicates where and when low latency communications occur. The indication may specify frequency resources or symbols used by the low latency communication. The indicator may be transmitted during the same subframe as the low latency communication, at the end of a subframe, or during a subsequent subframe. The receiving device may use the indicator to mitigate low latency interference, generate channel estimates, and reliably decode the non-low latency communication. In some cases, the interfering low latency communication may occur within the serving cell of the receiving device; or the interfering low latency communication may occur in a neighboring cell.
