  • Patent number: 10666457
    Abstract: A relay device transmits a frame received from any of a plurality of external devices that are connected via a plurality of communication lines. The external device is connected to one of the communication lines and to another one of the communication lines by searching a relay information table for specifying a relay destination of the frame. In the relay information table, information for identifying a frame type is stored in association with relay destination identifying information for identifying a communication line serving as a relay destination of a frame. The relay information table is partitioned into a plurality of sub-tables in accordance with priority based on the type identifying information or the relay destination identifying information. The relay device searches the sub-tables in descending order of priority using the type identifying information contained in the frame received from the external device as a search key specifying the relay destination.

  • Patent number: 10666565
    Abstract: The systems and methods discussed herein provide for relative QoS gain measurement, and reduction in variance of QoS during bandwidth contention. In some implementations, the system measures relative QoS gains of, or penalties to, similar connections or network flows due to different factors that affect the transmission throughput and QoS. The system provides scheduling of packets on different connections or flows according to ratios of QoS penalties or gains on the connections or flows, preventing a well-performing connection or flow from cannibalizing throughput from under-performing connections or flows.

  • Patent number: 10636309
    Abstract: Example vehicle communication management systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a communication management system determines whether a vehicle can communicate with an external system. If the vehicle is unable to communicate with the external system, the communication management system identifies a neighboring device that can communicate with the external system and communicates vehicle information to the neighboring device. The communication management system also requests the neighboring device to communicate the information, and other details from the neighboring device's perspective, to the external system.
