  • Patent number: 9774461
    Abstract: A system for communicating a multicast packet through a network switch fabric is described. The system receives the multicast packet at an input port of the network switch fabric, where the multicast packet is directed to multiple output ports, and where the network switch fabric has a virtual output queue (VOQ)-based architecture, in which each input port maintains a separate VOQ for unicast packets to each output port and one or more VOQs for multicast packets destined to multiple output ports. The system sends the multicast packet by inserting the multicast packet into the one or more VOQs associated with the multiple output ports, so that multicast packets are queued separately from unicast packets. Moreover, the system may optionally dynamically modify a number of the one or more VOQs for the multicast packets based on a number of multicast flows through the network switch fabric.

  • Patent number: 9723499
    Abstract: Network service providers often make use of traffic optimizers, in order to balance the objectives of maximizing users' quality of experience (“QoE”) with the costs of transmitting data. Certain content providers may make use of their own optimization algorithms, which may be interfered with by network providers' traffic optimizers. As described herein, a master optimization controller (“MOC”) may be able to enable or disable traffic optimizers within a network by enhancing a Transmission Control Protocol (“TCP”) three-way handshake procedure. The MOC may also perform traffic optimization, thus serving as the only device that performs optimization on traffic. Additionally, while traffic optimizers within a network are typically not visible to third party content providers, the MOC may perform optimization in a manner that may be visible to, and controlled by, a content provider.

  • Patent number: 9723517
    Abstract: An apparatus performs in parallel a first communication conforming to a first wireless communication method and a second communication conforming to a second wireless communication method by distributing transmission data to the first communication and the second communication so that first and second transmission data are distributed to the first and second communications, respectively. The apparatus detects an unallocated data amount indicating an amount of a first portion of the first transmission data that is different from a second portion of the first transmission data that is allocated to wireless resources of the first communication. The apparatus controls, based on the detected unallocated data amount, a ratio of an amount of the first transmission data distributed to the first communication, to a total amount of transmission data distributed to both the first and second communications.

  • Patent number: 9713060
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product that provides a two-index system for clusters of small cells in a wireless network. A first index is employed for access to and identification of a serving cell within a cluster of small cells. A second index indicates a group of small cells for determining mobility control. The first index may be derived from primary/secondary synchronization signals, or from frequency/time division multiplex signal position. The second index may be indicated in system/master information block signals or predefined as a plurality of small cells identified by the first index for each cell. Determination of physical cell identification is aided by providing a plurality of primary/secondary synchronization (PSS/SSS) signal alternating configurations with indicator, wherein a maximum number of configurations is predefined.
