  • Patent number: 11159425
    Abstract: A method, based on operations of parsing a set into two subsets and then multiplying elements of one subset by those of the other subsets, for expanding the assignable Internet IPv4 public address pool consists of introducing a new category of routers, named Semi-Public Router (SPR), utilizing addresses within a reserved address block by transporting such as data via an existing mechanism within the IPv4 protocol. Each SPR is to be deployed inline between an Edge Router and a subscriber premises that it serves, resulting in the additional addressing capacity for serving many more subscribers. This enhanced operation is fundamentally transparent to current Internet equipment. Consequently, existing routers are not affected, thus no modification is imposed on their current practices.

  • Patent number: 11032751
    Abstract: A method for prediction of UT handovers in a satellite communications network is provided. Optimal characteristics regarding the beams of satellites and regarding a one UT are determined. For each of a plurality of the satellite beams, for each of a plurality of instants of time tn, an estimated signal strength as seen at the UT is determined, wherein each estimated signal strength is determined based on the optimal at the respective time tn. A next instant of time tm is determined at which the estimated signal strength for a candidate beam that is within the view of the UT is greater than or equal to the estimated signal strength for the satellite beam that is currently servicing the UT. A handover of the UT, at the time tm, from the satellite beam that is currently servicing the one UT to the candidate beam is determined.

  • Patent number: 10980029
    Abstract: A station (STA), which supports multiple spatial streams, can, and sometimes does, re-advertise the station as supporting less spatial stream (SS) than the actual number of spatial streams that the device does actually support. In some embodiments, a station's maximum advertised maximum number of spatial streams is proactively reduced based on the station's throughput being below one or more thresholds. In some embodiments, the analysis and level of spatial stream value to be reported in a re-advertisement is determined by the access point. In some other embodiments, the analysis and level of spatial stream value to be reported in a re-advertisement is determined by the station. The access point allocating its limited supported spatial streams among stations is able to more efficiently allocate the air link resources.

  • Patent number: 10966072
    Abstract: In a 6G network, microservices can be utilized in the absence of a core network. For example, after a mobile device has authenticated, through its carrier network, with a transport service layer, microservices can be allocated to the mobile device without having to be transmitted via the core network. Thus, removing the core network from the process can generate a direct line of microservices from the transport layer to the end-user. Furthermore, additional microservices and/or resources can be access through a microservices library. Consequently, packets can be securely transmitted be a wireless network facilitating sending packet profile data from one to many node devices in anticipation of the packet traversing the various node devices.
