  • Patent number: 10560141
    Abstract: Disclosed are a mobile terminal, a base station and a non-transitory computer-readable medium to securely receive a signal. When the mobile terminal sends information, randomly implementing an XNOR calculation is randomly implemented on corresponding digits of a low-frequency digital sequence which is to transmit the information and a first cyclic PN sequence or a second cyclic PN sequence so as to obtain spread sequences. The spread sequences are modulated and sent. The base station or the mobile terminal receives the spread sequence, and despreads the same using the first and second cyclic PN sequences. The present invention effectively prevents lawbreakers from decoding and monitoring a communication process.

  • Patent number: 10560386
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for dynamically applying PPP-based network functions to traffic flows based on heuristics, policy conditions, and client-specified conditions. A network monitors a network traffic flow to determine whether the network traffic flow meets a first criterion of a first rule. The criterion specifies that when the first criterion is met, a PPP-based network function be used to analyze or process the network traffic flow. When the network traffic flow is determined to meet the first criterion, the network determines a first route through the network to a PPP-based router that provides the PPP-based network function and configures one or more routers along the first route to forward the network traffic flow to the PPP-based router for analysis or processing.

  • Patent number: 10560303
    Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein are generally directed to the real-time modification of symbol rates, during modulation, based on performance metrics such as noise and traffic levels. In one embodiment, machine learning algorithms may be used to determine programmatically expected channel conditions and, in turn, an optimized symbol rate. In one embodiment, adaptive bit loading can be used such that a lower order modulation scheme can be used to overcome the noise and increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the transmitted signal. In one embodiment, more throughput (for example, more bps/Hz) can be achieved in the network by using subcarriers that have a higher SNR. Further, the bit loading can serve to maximize the data rate subject to the power and bit error ratio (BER) constraints of the network. In one embodiment, the machine learning algorithms may dynamically change the symbol rate of modulation to enhance the network performance.

  • Publication number: 20200044714
    Abstract: A method and a device in a User Equipment and a base station used for wireless communication. The UE receives a target radio signal and transmits first information on a target channel in turn. A channel measurement for the target radio signal is used for triggering the transmission of the first information. The target channel is a first type of physical layer channel or a second type of physical layer channel. If the target channel is the first type of physical layer channel, the transmission of the first information on the target channel is counted into the number of transmission times of the first information. Otherwise, the number of transmission times of the first information is unrelated to the transmission of the first information on the target channel. The present disclosure improves the success rate of retransmission, supports flexible configuration, and saves the transmit power consumption of the UE.

    Abstract: A system has data capture devices collecting data from different points in a network. The captured data is written to a data store and is directed to an output. The data from the different data capture devices can be delivered to a data analytics device. As long as the data analytics device is able to keep pace with the data that is directed to the output, that data is used by the analytics device. If the analytics device is not able to keep pace, the data written to the data store is retrieved and is used until the analytics device has caught up.
