Patent number: 11425717Abstract: Configuration of a communication module based on determination of an idle time metric is described. In one embodiment, signal strength data representative of composite signal strength indicators of a group of frequency channels utilized by the communication module is determined. A composite indicator of the composite signal strength indicators can be employed that comprises multiple signal strength indicators, sampled over time, of a first channel of the group of frequency channels. Respective values for the composite indicator can be assigned in response to comparisons of the multiple signal strength indicators to one or more defined threshold(s).

Patent number: 11381500Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to assisting forwarding of multicast traffic over Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) from a multicast source to a host multi-homed to multiple provider edge (PE) devices. Embodiments are based on the inclusion of an Ethernet Segment Identification (ESI) to EVPN type-6 routes advertised by PE devices which received a multicast Join message. Other PE devices receiving such routes are able to determine whether they belong to the ES identified by the ESI and to determine whether they are designated forwarders (DFs) for the host. Furthermore, PE devices which are the DFs are configured to re-originate the EVPN type-6 routes, i.e. re-send the advertisements, indicating themselves as DFs. This ensures that a remote PE device associated with the multicast source will also send multicast traffic to such DF PE devices, which, in turn, would allow the multicast traffic to successfully reach the host.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Mitesh Mukesh Kanjariya, Ashutosh Gupta, Manoj Kumar Pandey

Patent number: 11382042Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for enhanced power savings in wireless devices through mobile initiated dormancy procedure. A user equipment (UE) may establish radio resource control (RRC) connectivity with a base station of the network, and transmit and receive one or more distinct signaling messages for dormancy state initialization and suspension at the UE. Dormancy state implementation at the UE may conserve available power resources at the UE during periods of inactive data transaction. The one or more signaling messages may contain a single or multi-bit indication for the receiving device, and may be transmitted via direct signaling on upper layer protocols of the data network or mapped to allocated resources of a data transmission. The signaling messages may sustain synchronization between the interpreted functional mode of the UE at the base station and the implemented mode at the UE.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2018Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Shravan Kumar Raghunathan, Srinivasan Balasubramanian, Parthasarathy Krishnamoorthy, Yonas Kidane, Chetan Chakravarthy, Kumarabhijeet Singh, Arvindhan Kumar, Krishna Rao Mandadapu

Patent number: 11368402Abstract: A system and method for soft locking on an ingress port of a networking device in a network, such as a network-on-chip (NoC). Once a soft lock is established, the port is given transmitting priority so long has the port has an available packet or packet parts that can make forward progress in the network. When the soft lock port's packet parts, which can make forward progress in the network, are not available, the networking device may choose another port. The system transmits packet parts from the other port until the soft locked port has packet parts available that can make forward progress in the network. Any arbitration scheme may be used to select the port that is soft locked and to select the other ports to transmit from when the soft locked port does not have packet parts that can make forward progress in the network. Once the packet (or all the packet parts) on the soft locked port has completed transmission, the soft lock of the soft locked port is released.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: ARTERIS, INC.Inventors: John Coddington, Benoit de Lescure, Syed Ijlal Ali Shah, Sanjay Despande

Patent number: 11343747Abstract: A distributing control unit performs provisional switching control processing to a distributing unit when a link in use for first data units is a first link and a candidate link to be used is a second link. For example, the distributing control unit distributes at least one of the data units of the first data units of the data stream to the second link and distributes other data units to the first link. A determining unit determines whether or not a link in use for second data units subsequent to the first data units is to be switched from the first link to the second link based on first and second communication qualities, the first and second communication qualities being based on feedback information. The first and second communication qualities are communication qualities of the other data units and the at least one of the data units, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Rintaro Kato

Patent number: 11343853Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for sharing a transmission opportunity (TXOP) of a wireless channel. A first wireless local area network (WLAN) device can win a contention-based procedure to become an owner of the TXOP and determine to use the TXOP as a multi-device transmission opportunity (mTXOP). Although the first WLAN device is the owner of the mTXOP, the first WLAN device may allocate resources from the mTXOP to share with other WLAN devices. During a first portion of the mTXOP, the first WLAN device allocate subordinate transmission opportunities (sub-TXOPs) for use by other WLAN devices during a second portion of the mTXOP. The allocation of sub-TXOPs may be prepared based on fairness considerations, latency considerations, or both. In some implementations, a sub-TXOP may be allocated for a non-WLAN device, such as a wireless wide area network (WWAN) apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: George Cherian, Maarten Menzo Wentink, Abhishek Pramod Patil, Alfred Asterjadhi
