  • Patent number: 12127020
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing traffic in a hybrid environment include monitoring traffic load of a local network to determine whether the traffic load exceeds or is likely to exceed a maximum traffic load, where the maximum traffic load is a traffic load for which a service can be provided by the local network, based on a license. An excess traffic load is determined if the traffic load exceeds or is likely to exceed the maximum traffic load. One or more external networks which have a capacity to provide the service to the excess traffic load are determined, to which the excess traffic load is migrated. The local network includes one or more service instances for providing the service for up to the maximum traffic load, and the service to the excess traffic load is provided by one or more additional service instances in the one or more external networks.

  • Patent number: 12126399
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for detecting a fault across a pair of lines. Pulse power is applied across the pair of lines. The pulse power comprises alternating pulse on-time intervals and pulse off-time intervals. During a pulse off-time interval, a resistor is connected across the pair of lines and then disconnected when a voltage across the pair of lines reaches a first droop percentage in a first period of time. After disconnecting the resistor, it is determined whether the voltage across the pair of lines droops at least a second droop percentage within a second period of time that begins after the first period of time. Occurrence of a line-to-line fault across the pair of lines is determined when the voltage across the pair of lines droops by at least the second droop percentage or more within the second period of time.

  • Patent number: 12127042
    Abstract: System, methods, and computer-readable media for validating and committing a shared O-RU configuration via a shared O-RU Operator. The shared O-RU Operator validates a partitioned configuration received from a tenant operator, with the ability to indicate to the tenant operator that the partitioned configuration is conformant to agreed-upon sharing rules and then commits the shared configuration to the shared O-RU. The shared O-RU operator shares the outcome of the commit operation to the tenant operator via defined operational-data that can be read by the tenant operator. A single radio in O-RAN is shared by multiple different operators and enables a neutral host to deploy a radio unit and then have that attached to different operators networks.

  • Patent number: 12126056
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a depassivating circuit includes a battery, a resistive load coupled to the battery, and a magnetic field sensor. The magnetic field sensor detects a presence of a magnetic field. The magnetic field sensor depassivates the battery by causing current from the battery to flow through the resistive load, in response to the presence of the magnetic field. The magnetic field sensor detects removal of the magnetic field. The magnetic field sensor ends depassivation of the battery, in response to the removal of the magnetic field.

  • Patent number: RE50187
    Abstract: An algorithm for determining redundant radios in APs is disclosed. The algorithm first performs a coverage peak flattening algorithm to predict an impact to the total coverage area if a radio in a selected AP does not transmit signals in a frequency band. If the impact to the total coverage area is acceptable, the algorithm then performs a multi-point check algorithm to determine whether the radio in the selected AP is redundant in the frequency band. After determining that the radio in the selected AP is redundant in the frequency band, the algorithm transforms the redundant radio into various services based on the network deployment and user preference.
