  • Patent number: 11659427
    Abstract: The disclosed technology addresses the problem of testing performance of RU scheduling algorithms used by an OFDMA enabled AP to support multiple clients, using a two-armed test harness with a wired connection to one side of an AP under test and multiple wireless clients coupled in RF communication with the AP. The wireless clients can be connected over the air or conductively to antenna(s) of the AP under test. The test harness generates test traffic. A sniffer radio listens to RU allocation and schedules traffic broadcast by the AP to multiple clients. A recording module records the RU allocation and traffic and a report generator categorizes the recorded resource allocation with the scheduling traffic heard by the sniffer radio and provides resource allocation statistics. The wireless clients are connected conductively or OTA to antennas of the AP under test. One sniffer radio replaces multiple sniffers used in prior test systems.

  • Patent number: 11646975
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein support compartment quotas in a cloud infrastructure environment. Cloud administrators do not generally have the ability to restrict resource usage in existing clouds. Granting a user permission to create resources allows them to create any number of resources up to a predefined account limit. Compartment quotas allow admins to restrict a user's resource usage to the appropriate level allowing fine-tuned cost control.

  • Patent number: 11621849
    Abstract: Systems, methods, articles of manufacture, and computer-readable media. A server may receive a phone call and generate a uniform resource locator (URL) comprising a session identifier for an account. The server may transmit the URL to a client device. The server may receive, from a web browser, a request comprising the URL. The server may determine that the session identifier in the URL of the request matches the session identifier for the account, and transmit, to the web browser, a web page at the URL. The server may receive, from the web browser, a cryptogram read by the web page via a card reader of the client device and decrypt the cryptogram. The server may authenticate the identity of the caller for the call based on decrypting the cryptogram and the session identifier of the URL matching the session identifier of the account.

  • Patent number: 11539830
    Abstract: A 5G stand alone system information broadcast message (SIB) can be drilled down into to determine a frequency range (sub 6 Ghz, millimeter wave, or both) that is accessible to a stand-alone user equipment based on a cell associated with the user equipment. The frequency range can be used to determine whether the user equipment shall display a “5G” icon or a “5G+” icon. The display can also be dependent on whether the user equipment is in idle/inactive modes or connected mode. Optionally, the user equipment can be a sub 6 Ghz dual band (frequency range 1 and frequency range 2) device, which can also be used to determine the displayed icon of the user equipment.

  • Patent number: 11490414
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Wireless communications systems may employ one or more scheduling constraints to support efficient utilization of techniques for intra-device handling of overlapping scheduled uplink transmissions (e.g., intra-device dynamic resource cancelation and multiplexing) as well as inter-device handling of overlapping scheduled uplink transmissions (e.g., inter-device dynamic resource cancelation and multiplexing). Scheduling constraints may define how a device may apply intra-device and inter-device multiplexing and cancelation rules for various scenarios. For example, a device may apply intra-UE cancelation rules before inter-device cancelation rules. In some examples, later-received grants or uplink preemption indications (ULPIs) may not change a device's previously established decision to drop an uplink transmission.

In some implementations, a terminal device may receive first downlink control information (DCI) from a network device; determine, based on the received first DCI, that an uplink shared channel scheduled by using the first DCI is used to send only uplink control information (UCI); and send first UCI to the network device through the uplink shared channel scheduled by using the first DCI. In other words, the network device indicates to the terminal device by using DCI so that the terminal device can determine, based on an indication of the network device, whether the uplink shared channel scheduled by using the DCI is used to send only the UCI.
