  • Patent number: 11974235
    Abstract: Activating an uplink (UL) gap at a base station may include decoding a user equipment (UE) UL gap capability report received from a UE. A radio resource control (RRC) UL gap configuration may be encoded for transmission to the UE. A power headroom report (PHR) medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) received from the UE may be decoded. The PHR MAC CE may include at least one of a P value or a power management maximum power reduction (P-MPR) value. Decoding the measurement information may include determining that the P value is equal to one or the P-MPR value is greater than zero. Based on determining that the P value is equal to one or the P-MPR value is greater than zero, the UL gap configuration may be implicitly activated.

  • Patent number: 11973846
    Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for implementing a polling command strategy in a database system. A subscriber transmits, to a database system, a subscription to an event. When the database system detects the event, a publisher transmits a message notifying the subscriber of the occurrence of the event. The subscriber processes the message received from the publisher. Responsive to processing the message, the subscriber waits a predefined period of time. After waiting the predefined period of time, the subscriber sends a polling message to the database system. Responsive to the polling message, the subscriber obtains data satisfying the subscription from the database system and the subscriber processes the data.

  • Patent number: 11956744
    Abstract: A distributed data acquisition system comprising multiple, physically unconnected, data acquisition units that can be in wireless communication with a remote host, timestamps measurement data with sub-microsecond time base accuracy of sampling clock relative to an absolute timeframe. Each unit has a GPS receiver for deriving an absolute time. An analog-to-digital converter samples measurement data using a sampling clock. A hardware logic circuit, such as a field programmable gate array, associates batches of the measurement data with corresponding timestamps representing the current absolute time. A time offset bias may be compensated by a comparison of timestamps with nominal time based on start time and nominal sampling rate. Additionally, the sampling clock may be synchronized using time pulses from the GPS receiver. An initial start of ADC sampling by all data acquisition units may be also synchronized.

  • Patent number: 11956332
    Abstract: System and methods that improve the use of network functions on edge data networks are disclosed. A mechanism that supports edge-assisted UE context and trigger collection is described herein, where a UE can actively send its context information and/or any trigger (e.g. a request for a network function/service to be deployed in edge data networks, etc.) to an edge enabler server, which processes the received context and triggers from its UEs. The edge enabler server may also forward UE context and triggers to 5G core network (5GC) upon receiving a solicitation request from the 5GC, or if the 5GC has already made a subscription for getting notification on UE context and triggers. A network repository function is provided as a new network function collect, store, and manage edge data network information.

  • Patent number: 11949891
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing viewers of streamed video content with the option to view alternative video content in which alternative tone maps are applied to respective regions of interest. In some embodiments, the streamed video content is divided into slices, and alternative tone maps are applied to respective regions of interest within the slices. When a server receives a request from a client for alternative tone mappings of different regions, slices with the appropriate mapping may be assembled on demand and delivered to the client in a single video stream. Tone mappings may be used, for example, to highlight particular objects, such as players in a sporting event captured in the streamed video content.

  • Patent number: 11943323
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a new content server framework in which functionalities of a content server are implemented as lightweight microservices. At startup of the content server framework, a content server container and a set of microservices are launched. The content server container only has a content server application programming interface (API) which has a controller that can instantiate controller applications, each having a master module and worker(s). When a request is received, the content server API routes it to an appropriate microservice which stores the request in a repository. The master module retrieves the request from the repository and places it in a queue. The worker picks up the request from the queue and processes it. The controller keeps track of details of each controller application container that it instantiated (e.g., load and status) and automatically scale up or down the number of instances.

  • Patent number: 11934444
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to synchronized sharing of playlists from a source client device to a listening client device. To facilitate synchronized sharing, a current playlist of one or more tracks of digital content is obtained from the source client device. A current playback location within the currently playing playlist is also obtained from the source client device. A shared queue accessible by the listener client device is generated. Further, a shared queue context for the listener client device is identified based in part upon the current playback location. This enables the listener client device to start playback synchronized with the source client device.
