Publication number: 20250056311Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards a transport protocol for latency sensitive applications. The disclosed transport protocol is “semi-reliable” in that it allows for specification of an importance of data being transmitted, thereby allowing important data to be sent reliably, while other data can be dropped if necessary, e.g., under bad network conditions. A deadline can be specified for such other data, and if the other data cannot be sent prior to the deadline, it can be dropped. Furthermore, the disclosed transport protocol can allow for early discovery of network jitter. A client device can send regular acknowledgments which identify most recently received data packets as well as a number of “heartbeat transmissions” received at the client device. A server device can use the acknowledgments to discover and respond to jitter.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Shu Shi, Rittwik Jana, Bo Han, Bo Chen

Patent number: 12219392Abstract: Switching a device between bandwidth parts of a channel bandwidth can be managed. A bandwidth part (BWP) management component (BWPMC) can determine characteristics relating to communication rate, quality of service (QoS), or device power based on analysis of data relating to operation of the device, including data relating to service type of a service used by the device or traffic type of data communicated by the device. If heavy traffic is detected, BWPMC can determine whether switching from a smaller BWP to a larger BWP can improve communication rate or QoS. If so, BWPMC can initiate a switching timer. If heavy traffic is still detected when timer has ended, BWPMC can switch from smaller BWP to larger BWP, set another timer, and check again when that timer ends. BWPMC can bypass BWP switching for the device when power saving mode is on or low battery power is detected.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Yupeng Jia

Patent number: 12219449Abstract: In a 6G network, microservices can be utilized in the absence of a core network. For example, after a mobile device has authenticated, through its carrier network, with a transport service layer, microservices can be allocated to the mobile device without having to be transmitted via the core network. Thus, removing the core network from the process can generate a direct line of microservices from the transport layer to the end-user. Furthermore, additional microservices and/or resources can be access through a microservices library. Consequently, packets can be securely transmitted be a wireless network facilitating sending packet profile data from one to many node devices in anticipation of the packet traversing the various node devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2023Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignees: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Sangar Dowlatkhah, Zhi Cui
