  • Patent number: 11924108
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an offload platform is an compute platform, adjunct to a router or other packet switching device, that performs packet processing operations including determining an egress forwarding value corresponding to the next-hop node of the packet switching device to which to send an offload-platform processed packet. The offload platform downloads forwarding information from the router, and augments it, such as, but not limited to, representing interfaces of the router as identifiable virtual interface(s) on the offload platform, and including each of one or more next-hop nodes of the router represented as an identifiable virtual adjacency and identifiable tunnel (e.g., identified by the egress forwarding value). In one embodiment, the egress forwarding value is an Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label or Segment Routing Identifier. The router identifies packets of certain packet flows to send to the adjunct offload platform, rather than processing per its routing information base.

  • Patent number: 11909796
    Abstract: An electronic device for processing real-time-streaming-protocol (RTSP) packets in a network to provide enhanced video-on-demand (VOD) services is provided. The electronic device includes a user interface, a non-transitory memory configured to store instructions including an application layer gateway (ALG) module and network service software, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to execute the instructions to store a list of mac-bridge clients that includes a MAC address and a MAC mask corresponding to each mac-bridge client, and determine whether at least one of the source and destination MAC address of a received RTSP packet is on the list. When at least one of the source and destination MAC address is on the list, the RTSP packet is processed using the network service software and a next RTSP packet is received; otherwise, the received RTSP packet is processed using the ALG module.

  • Patent number: 11902844
    Abstract: This application provides a data processing method and apparatus, and a computer storage medium. When a PDCP entity over a UM DRB is re-established, or when a cell handover occurs and the PDCP entity over a UM DRB uses a key used before the handover, the PDCP entity determines a first SDU, where the first SDU is an SDU that is associated with a sequence number by the PDCP entity but whose corresponding data has not been transmitted through an air interface; and delivers a PDU corresponding to the first SDU to an RLC entity. Data corresponding to the first SDU is redelivered, to avoid a data packet loss caused by preprocessing of the PDCP entity.

    Abstract: The present application relates to a method and device for duplex coordination in a relay network. A second node device sends configuration information to a first node device, so that the first node device, according to the configuration information, receives on a first time domain resource a first message sent by the second node device and sends a second message to a third node device on a second time domain resource. The second node device is a parent node of the first node device, and the third node device is a child node of the first node device. The configuration information includes first and second configuration information which indicates the first and time domain resources, respectively. The first and the second time domain resources partially or completely overlap, and a priority of the first message is higher than a priority of the second message.

  • Patent number: 11895623
    Abstract: In one aspect, resource selection may be performed where single frequency full-duplex (SFFD) UEs are present in a V2X system. Signaling and procedures may enable the coexistence of half-duplex (HD) and SFFD-capable UEs. Based on the resource reservation information obtained from other UEs, the SFFD UE may determine which among the reserved time-frequency resources is amenable for performing the SFFD operation. In one aspect, the time-frequency resources chosen for SFFD may partially or fully overlap with the reserved time-frequency resources, based on the self-interference cancellation capability of the SFFD UE, the RSRP, and/or the RSSI on the reserved time-frequency resources. Accordingly, the full-duplex capability of an SFFD-capable UE may be leveraged, and spectral efficiency improved.

  • Patent number: 11882535
    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are disclosed herein. The UE may attempt to decode sidelink synchronization signals (SLSSs) received on component carriers (CCs) of a carrier aggregation. In one configuration, synchronization resources for SLSS transmissions may be aligned across the CCs at subframe boundaries in time, restricted to a portion of the CCs, and restricted to a same sub-frame. The UE may, for multiple CCs, determine a priority level for the CC based on indicators in the SLSSs received on the CC. The UE may select, from the CCs on which one or more SLSSs are decoded, the CC for which the determined priority level is highest. The UE may determine a reference timing for sidelink communication based on the one or more SLSSs received on the selected CC.
