  • Patent number: 11202238
    Abstract: A connection including a wireless NB-IoT link is established between a base station in a MNO network and a base station in a MSO network. UE context information, UE radio frequency (RF) information and/or UE Key Performance Indicator (KPI) information are exchanged between the two networks over the established connection via the NB-IoT link, thus facilitating handover preparation and/or handover for a UE. A control server in the MNO controls transfer over the connection including the NB-IoT link, receives and sends information and requests over the connection, evaluates received UE information, makes handover decisions, and generates and sends handover requests.

  • Patent number: 11201656
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for multi-antenna transmission. The UE transmits a first radio signal in a first time interval, and receives a second radio signal in a second time interval; and then monitors a third radio signal in a third time interval. The first radio signal includes first information, and the second radio signal includes second information. Target information is used for receiving the third radio signal. A time-domain position of the second time interval is used for determining whether the target information is the first information or the second information. A time-domain position of the third time interval is associated to a time-domain position of the first time interval. The UE can select a beam direction corresponding to a downlink channel according to its measurement, thereby improving efficiency and performances of downlink transmission.

  • Publication number: 20210385151
    Abstract: A routing system can provide a Dynamic-Hybrid Forwarding Information Base (DHFIB). A control component of the routing system can build a routing table that includes routing information (e.g., prefixes, addresses, etc.) for use by a first routing component. The routing table can be ordered or ranked based on traffic information from the first routing component. Then, the control component can create the DHFIB from the routing table, wherein the DHFIB is a portion of the routing table and related to the first routing component. As such, the portion of the routing table selected for the DHFIB can be the set of prefixes in the routing table that represent the most frequently routed or most important prefixes in the routing table. Finally, the control component can forward the DHFIB to the first routing component to allow the routing component to route communications.

  • Publication number: 20210385240
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer implemented method receives flow data for a network flows. The method extracts a tuple from the flow data and calculates long-term and short-term trends based at least in part on the tuple. The long-term and short-term trends are compared to determine whether a potential network anomaly exists. If a potential network anomaly does exist, the method initiates a heavy hitter detection algorithm. The method forms a low-complexity intermediate stage of processing that enables a high-complexity heavy hitter detection algorithm to execute when heavy hitters are likely to be detected.
