    Abstract: Herein are techniques for dynamic aggregation of results of a database request, including concurrent grouping of result items in memory based on quasi-dense keys. Each of many computational threads concurrently performs as follows. A hash code is calculated that represents a particular natural grouping key (NGK) for an aggregate result of a database request. Based on the hash code, the thread detects that a set of distinct NGKs that are already stored in the aggregate result does not contain the particular NGK. A distinct dense grouping key for the particular NGK is statefully generated. The dense grouping key is bound to the particular NGK. Based on said binding, the particular NGK is added to the set of distinct NGKs in the aggregate result.

A node identifies a TCP stage of a data packet flow associated with a data packet received by the node. The node identifies additional characteristics associated with the data packet, such as a duration of the data packet flow to which the data packet belongs. The node modifies a transmission strategy of the data packet based on the TCP stage associated with the data packet and one or more additional characteristics of the data packet. The node modifies the transmission strategy for the data packet by increasing an aggressiveness of the transmission strategy or decreasing the aggressiveness of the transmission strategy. A more aggressive transmission strategy employs more proactive data packet acceleration techniques than a less aggressive transmission strategy.

  • Patent number: 11909644
    Abstract: A network device transmits data to a user equipment (UE) via a first Radio Access Network (RAN) using first Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) congestion control parameters. The network device receives a notification message indicating that the UE has moved from the first RAN to a second RAN. The network device modifies, responsive to receipt of the notification, the first TCP congestion control parameters to create second TCP congestion control parameters, where the first TCP congestion control parameters include a first slow start threshold (ssthresh), and wherein the second TCP congestion control parameters include a second ssthresh that is different than the first ssthresh. The network device transmits data to the UE via the second RAN using the second TCP congestion control parameters.

  • Patent number: 11902128
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein allow mobile network operators to provide an adaptive quality of service (QoS) approach for application providers. A network device in a core network receives a QoS monitoring report based on QoS monitoring by an access station. The QoS monitoring report includes data for QoS parameters for network services in a default QoS flow supporting a protocol data unit (PDU) session. Based on the QoS monitoring report, the network device determines if the default QoS flow supports a required service level for the PDU session. When the network device determines that the default QoS flow does not support the required service level for the PDU session, the network device automatically activates a dedicated QoS flow to support the PDU session with the required service level.

  • Patent number: 11902892
    Abstract: A network device of a core network may maintain a mapping table that maps core network slices with quality of service (QoS) class identifiers (QCIs) based on service profile identifiers (SPIDs), and may receive, from a user device, a request for service with a particular QCI included in the QCIs of the mapping table. The network device may identify a particular SPID of the SPIDs in the mapping table based on the particular QCI of the service, and may generate a flow request based on the particular SPID. The network device may cause the flow request to be provided to a radio access network (RAN) associated with the user device, to cause the RAN to select a RAN slice for provision of the service to the user device.

  • Patent number: 11902832
    Abstract: The system obtains an acyclic graph including multiple nodes and edges. An edge indicates a parent node and a child node to be included in a weave indicating a linear order of the multiple nodes. The parent node occurs before the child node in the weave. The acyclic graph includes a branch node having a first and a second child node that do not have a parent-child relationship indicating the weave. The system orders the multiple nodes in the acyclic graph by ordering a portion of the multiple nodes according to a portion of the multiple edges. The system orders the first child node and the second child node by obtaining a first priority associated with the first child node and a second priority associated with the second child node and, based on the first and second priority, creating the weave by ordering the first and second child node.

  • Patent number: 11882049
    Abstract: A method of managing a fill state of a buffer in an external device includes monitoring the latency of a network connection to an external device having a network buffer via a managing device. A state of fill of the network buffer is determined based on at least the monitored latency of the network connection, and the effective network speed is estimated based on the state of fill of the network buffer. One or more network traffic scheduling parameters are adjusted in response to the estimated effective network speed, such as a maximum currently usable network speed that is lower than a maximum possible speed of the network. The maximum currently usable network speed of the network connection is periodically increased if the monitored latency is in a normal state and the maximum currently usable network speed is lower than the maximum possible speed of the network.
