Patent number: 11985733Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE), operable to generate an enhanced buffer status report (eBSR) is disclosed. The UE can identify packets for uplink transmission. The UE can filter the packets for uplink transmission, to identify a number of small packets pending for transmission and a number of larger packets, relative to the small packets, that are pending for transmission in the uplink transmission. The UE can encode the eBSR for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB), wherein the eBSR includes information identifying the number of small packets pending for transmission. The UE can have a memory interface configured to send to a memory the number of small packets pending for transmission.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jerome Parron, Hyung-Nam Choi, Jing Zhu, Marcus Mertens, Christian Hofmann, Sudeep Palat

Patent number: 11012367Abstract: Technologies for managing Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) packet delivery include a network interface controller (NIC) of a computing device. The NIC is configured to retrieve identifying data from received IP packets and identify a TCP data stream associated with each received IP packet based on the retrieved identifying data. Additionally, the NIC is configured to determine a service data flow queue associated with the TCP data stream, determine whether a plurality of IP packets presently enqueued in the determined service data flow queue are out of order, and enqueue the received IP packet at a tail of the identified service data flow queue if the NIC determines that the plurality of IP packets presently enqueued in the determined service data flow queue are out of order. Other embodiments are described herein.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: INTEL IP CORPORATIONInventors: Juergen Steffen, Ahmed Soud Salem, Hans Leicht, Marcus Mertens, Mohamed Khalil
