Patent number: 9282042Abstract: In a network including a plurality of nodes, a node transmits data to another node, receives data from another node, and stores a communication history between a plurality of other nodes and the node itself. When an acknowledge response to data transmitted to a first node among the plurality of other nodes is not received, the node generates a duplicate data of the transmitted data. When a duplication report indicating detection of duplicate data transmitted to a second node among the plurality of other nodes has been received from one of the plurality of other nodes, the node refers to the communication history, and identifies the first node as a cause of generation of the duplicate data.

Patent number: 9276864Abstract: Information about the transmission of packets or other information can be inferred based at least in part upon the state of one or more queues used to transmit that information. In a networking example, a hook can be added to a free buffer API call from a queue of a NIC driver. When a packet is transmitted and a buffer freed, the hook can cause information for that packet to be transmitted to an appropriate location, such as a network traffic control component or control plane component, whereby that information can be compared with packet, source, and other such information to infer which packets have been transmitted, which packets are pending, and other such information. This information can be used for various purposes, such as to dynamically adjust the allocation of a resource (e.g., a NIC) to various sources based at least in part upon the monitored behavior.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Pradeep Vincent

Patent number: 9277497Abstract: Technologies are generally described for reducing the from-power-grid energy consumption of a wireless network such as a cellular network over a period of time through cell size adaptations. According to some examples, cell sizes for the base stations may be optimized by decomposing the cell size optimization into two approaches: a multi-stage energy allocation approach and an energy consumption minimization approach. By implementing an energy allocation policy based on available energy type (e.g., from-power-grid or renewable) and an approximation technique for the energy consumption minimization, cell size optimization for each base station may be achieved resulting in network-wide enhancement of renewable energy usage vs. from-power-grid energy usage.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2012Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Nirwan Ansari, Tao Han

Patent number: 9270636Abstract: A network node maintains a neighbor data structure in the form of a hash table containing multiple buckets for storing mapping entries, with each entry specifying a local address corresponding to a global address. The table is based on a hash function that generates a corresponding hash value for each global address. Each bucket is associated with a unique hash value and is implemented as a corresponding balanced tree containing a corresponding set of nodes, with each node storing a corresponding mapping entry. Upon receiving a lookup request containing a first global address, the node determines a first bucket by applying the hash function to the first global address, and then traverses a first tree corresponding to the first bucket to find a first entry having a global address equaling the first global address. Concurrent non-blocking access is permitted to various portions of the tree during changes in the tree.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Giridhar Narasimhamurthy, Bharadwaj Raghavendra Gosukonda
