Patent number: 11997736Abstract: A connection establishment method includes a terminal device obtaining historical data of a multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) connection established between the terminal device and an application server. The historical data includes a data transmission delay of a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection corresponding to a Wi-Fi network and a data transmission delay of a TCP connection corresponding to a cellular network. The terminal device determines, based on the historical data, that the data transmission delay of the TCP connection corresponding to the cellular network is less than or equal to the data transmission delay of the TCP connection corresponding to the Wi-Fi network, and establishes a first TCP connection to the application server through an interface of the cellular network; and after the first TCP connection is successfully established, the terminal device establishes a second TCP connection to the application server through an interface of the Wi-Fi network.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignees: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Peking UniversityInventors: Hao Wang, Songping Yao, Chenren Xu, Fanzhao Wang, Xingmin Guo, Xiangli Li, Zhiyu Chen

Patent number: 11821637Abstract: An energy-saving system using electric heat pump to recover flue gas waste heat for district heating uses flue gas waste heat recovery tower to absorb the sensible and latent heat in the high-temperature flue gas by direct contact heat and mass transfer. The circulating water is sprayed from the top and the flue gas flows upwards in the tower. The electric heat pump is indirectly connected with circulating water through the anti-corrosion and high-efficiency water-water plate heat exchanger. The return water of the heat-supply network enters the electric heat pump through the anti-corrosion and high-efficiency water-water plate heat exchanger and exchanges heat indirectly with the high-temperature circulating water. The electric heat pump uses the electric energy of the power plant as the driving power.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: DALIAN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Haichao Wang, Xiaozhou Wu, Ruoyu Zhang, Lin Duanmu, Xiangli Li
