  • Patent number: 11296966
    Abstract: A system and method for efficient collection and distribution of mission-critical information (MCI) throughout a multi-node communication network is disclosed. In embodiments, the multi-node communication network may include a clusterhead node including a communication interface and a controller. In embodiments, the controller transmits an MCI request packet to neighbor nodes of its cluster. The controller receives MCI report packets from the neighbor nodes (or a subset thereof) throughout a first time interval. The controller rebroadcasts the MCI request packet to the neighbor nodes through increasingly shorter time intervals as MCI report packets continue to be transmitted in response. When the controller determines that no MCI report packets have been transmitted during the most recent time interval, the controller generates and transmits an MCI publish packet including the MCI information collected from each neighbor node.

  • Patent number: 11252577
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe mirroring slices in a 5G domain (or network) in a Wi-Fi domain (or network). A slice in a 5G domain allows a service provider to establish a separate network within the 5G network which can have a different minimum bandwidth, minimum latency, a quality of service (QoS) level, a certain application must be proximate to the client devices, and a service level agreement (SLA) relative to the other slices. The embodiments herein can mirror the traffic isolation and flexibility of 5G slices in a Wi-Fi network by using resource units (RUs). The AP can assign RUs in a manner to match the bandwidth and latency of the corresponding 5G slice. Further, the AP controls which client devices can use the RUs and can ensure that only the client devices that can use the same 5G slice can use the same RUs.
