  • Patent number: 10448346
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for the indication of communication information using a correlation between synchronization signals transmitted by a base station for cell acquisition. The communication information may include a physical channel timing parameter such as synchronization periodicity, a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) periodicity, a beam sweep periodicity, or a cyclic prefix (CP) type. Communication information may also indicate the presence of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) transmission or a mobility reference signal (MRS) transmission. The correlation may be a phase shift between multiple signals or may be based on precoding matrices used during transmission processing of the synchronization signals across subcarriers and antenna ports.

  • Patent number: 10356802
    Abstract: A scheduling method of uplink resource unit includes selecting an uplink parameter set, by calculating the uplink parameter set capable of achieving a minimized energy consumption according to a traffic and a QoS of a user equipment (UE). The uplink parameter set allows a plurality of transmission variations. A score function is used to calculate a score of a transmission condition variation of the UE and a transmission order of the UE is determined according to the score. A disposing position of the resource units in uplink subcarriers is determined. The time occupied by the disposing position is checked to see whether or a delay constraint allowed by the UE is satisfied. If the result of checking the disposing position does not satisfy the delay constraint, the number of consecutive subcarriers is changed and the step of determining the disposing position of the resource units in the uplink subcarriers is repeatedly performed.

  • Patent number: 10305973
    Abstract: A load-balancer instance is instantiated in a network virtualization edge (NVE) in a software defined network (SDN). A forwarding table in the NVE is modified to indicate that a next hop for a packet having a destination address of the load-balancer instance is to be resolved by the load-balancer instance. From a portion of the packet, and using the load-balancer instance, a value usable to select a singular next hop to a first real server in a pool of real servers managed by the load-balancer instance is determined. The packet is forwarded, using the modified forwarding table, the packet through an underlay of the SDN such that the packet tunnels from the NVE to a first NVE, the second NVE hosting the first real server.
