  • Patent number: 11601244
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A control resource set (CORESET) may be configured to support multiple transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state control channels. Space division multiplexing (SDM) may be implemented to enable multi-TCI states by using multiple ports and layers. A certain layer and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port may be associated with a certain TCI state. For orthogonal ports, resources elements (REs) may be assigned such that a first set of REs are assigned to the first DMRS port and a second set of REs are assigned to the second port. The multiple DMRS ports may be code division multiplexed (CDM'd) within an RE such that multiple DMRS ports may be associated with the same RE. For non-orthogonal ports, the same RE may be used for multiple TCI states, where scrambling sequences may be applied to DMRSs associated with the TCI states.

  • Patent number: 11552870
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically configuring network elements for in-band telemetry are disclosed. A controller of a configuration engine, which includes a flow analyzer and an INT configuration module, receives sampled packets and flow updates from network elements that are not yet configured for INT telemetry. The controller forwards the packets to the flow analyzer that extracts flow properties from the received packets, generates a flow summary along various metrics, and records it in a multi-dimensional matrix. A few metrics from top flows are selected and forwarded to the INT configuration module to identify network elements from whom packets containing the selected metrics were received. The identified network elements are automatically configured with the selected INT configuration such that INT telemetry data can be collected from them. Changes to the flow are dynamically accommodated by reconfiguring the network elements based on the telemetry data received after they have been configured.
