In response to determining that a second packet received at the intermediary comprises an acknowledgement to the first packet, a traffic quality metric is stored at a location accessible to a VPN traffic analyzer. The VPN traffic analyzer responses to a traffic quality query using the metrics collected at the intermediary.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Paul John Tillotson

Patent number: 9929847Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for using a shortened block acknowledgement (BlockAck) frame capable of acknowledging fragments. Such a shortened BlockAck frame may include a bitmap field having a shorter length than that of a basic BlockAck frame in the IEEE 802.11 standard (i.e., <128 octets). One example method for wireless communications generally includes receiving a plurality of protocol data units (PDUs) (e.g., media access control (MAC) protocol data units (MPDUs)); determining whether each of the PDUs was successfully received and whether each of the PDUs is associated with a non-fragmented service data unit (SDU) (e.g., MAC service data unit (MSDU)) or a fragmented SDU; and outputting for transmission a shortened BlockAck frame comprising a bitmap field indicating a receive status for the non-fragmented and fragmented SDUs based on the determination.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Alfred Asterjadhi, Simone Merlin, George Cherian, Santosh Paul Abraham, Gwendolyn Denise Barriac, Rahul Malik, Gang Ding, Guido Robert Frederiks, James Simon Cho

Patent number: 9923754Abstract: A data sending method is provided. Media access control MAC payloads corresponding to a plurality of user equipment (UEs) are encapsulated in one MAC packet data unit PDU, where the MAC PDU includes a header, the MAC payloads and identification information of each UE in the plurality of UEs; and the header includes a plurality of subheaders, the plurality of subheaders is subheaders respectively corresponding to a MAC payload corresponding to each UE in the plurality of UEs, the MAC payload corresponding to each UE includes a MAC control element CE and/or a MAC service data unit SDU, and the identification information is used for identifying each UE. The MAC PDU is sent. Correspondingly, a data receiving method and apparatus are also provided. In the foregoing solutions, transmission of a MAC PDU during multi-user cooperated communication is implemented.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yue Li, Xiaolong Guo, Song Zhu, Fei Yang

Patent number: 9900169Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network sends a first multicast message to a plurality of destinations in the network. The first multicast message includes a first bitmap that identifies the destinations. The device receives one or more acknowledgements from a subset of the destinations. The device determines a retransmission bitmap that identifies those of the plurality of destinations that did not acknowledge the first multicast message, based on the received one or more acknowledgements. The device sends a retransmission multicast message to those of the plurality of destinations that did not acknowledge the first multicast message. The retransmission multicast message includes the retransmission bitmap.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Pascal Thubert, Ijsbrand Wijnands, Gregory Shepherd
