  • Patent number: 11930425
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for recovering a communication session from a dedicated bearer failure are disclosed. For example, a P-CSCF node can determine that a dedicated bearer associated with a communication session has failed, and, in response, send a SIP message to a UE associated with the communication session, the SIP message causing the UE to refrain from sending SIP requests using a SIP INVITE method. The process may further include identifying a first network node associated with an identifier of the UE, the first network node comprising one of a PGW or a SMF, and sending an instruction to the first network node to dissociate the dedicated bearer from the communication session. This causes a new attach procedure to be performed by the UE to recover the session without session failure.

  • Patent number: 11916826
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed to enhance the efficiency of available bandwidth between UEs and base stations. A UE transmits a sounding reference signal (SRS) to the base station. The base station characterizes the uplink channel based on the SRS received and, using reciprocity, applies the channel characterization for the downlink channel. As part of applying the channel information, the base station forms the beam to the UE based on the uplink channel information obtained from the SRS. The UE may include an array of antennas, each UE transmitting a different SRS that the base station receives and uses to characterize the downlink. Multiple UEs (or a single UE with multiple antennas) transmit SRS at the same time and frequency allocation (non-orthogonal), but with each sending its own unique SRS. Further, multiple UEs (or a single UE with multiple antennas) may send their SRS at unique time/frequency allocations (orthogonal).

  • Patent number: 11902923
    Abstract: A network includes an intermediate node to communicate with a child node via a wireless network protocol. An intermediate node synchronizer in the intermediate node facilitates time synchronization with its parent node and with the child node. A child node synchronizer in the child node to facilitates time synchronization with the intermediate node. The intermediate node synchronizer exchanges synchronization data with the child node synchronizer to enable the child node to be time synchronized to the intermediate node before the intermediate node is synchronized to its parent node if the intermediate node has not synchronized to its parent node within a predetermined guard time period established for the child node.

  • Patent number: 11892986
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining activated neural pathways in knowledge graphs are disclosed. In an embodiment, a computer system may retrieve data associated with a user account and generate a knowledge graph centered around an account under a current adjudication. The computer system may determine paths based on the knowledge graph using similarity and sentiment scores. By reducing the amount of data in the knowledge graph to specific data associated with paths of interest, unnecessary computer operations may be avoided, which increases processing times related to the knowledge graph and allows near real-time outputs based on the knowledge graph to be utilized. The computer system may rank the paths based on their similarity scores and sentiments scores to determine which paths are considered activated neural pathways in the knowledge graph. The computer system may base a determination of the current adjudication for the account on the activated neural pathways.
