Patent number: 11902050Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel network architecture for providing edge services of a virtual private cloud (VPC) at host computers hosting machines of the VPC. The host computers in the novel network architecture are reachable from external networks through a gateway router of an availability zone (AZ). The gateway router receives a data message from the external network addressed to one or more data compute nodes (DCNs) in the VPC and forwards the data message to a particular host computer identified as providing a distributed edge service for the VPC. The particular host computer, upon receiving the forwarded data message, performs the distributed edge service and provides the serviced data message to a destination DCN.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: VMware LLCInventors: Sami Boutros, Anirban Sengupta, Mani Kancherla, Jerome Catrouillet, Sri Mohana Singamsetty

Patent number: 11818074Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for estimating clock frequency offsets of industrial wireless sensor networks based on timing response. In the method, a data packet is sent from a node to be synchronized to a reference node. After the reference node receives the data packet, it replies an acknowledgement after a timing response interval, which is mapped according to a sequence number of the data packet. After communication and interaction for multiple times, a relative frequency offset and a fixed delay between node clocks can be estimated by the node to be synchronized without exchanging timestamp information. The present invention does not need to receive or send messages specially used for time synchronization parameter estimation, which realizes a long-term tracking of clock frequency offset with a low computation cost and reduces communication overhead and energy consumption.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Chongqing University Of Posts And TelecommunicationsInventors: Heng Wang, Yang Zhong, Fei Yu
