Patent number: 12039966Abstract: Managing noise during an online conference session includes obtaining audio data from an endpoint participating in an online conference session. The audio data is derived from audio captured at the endpoint that includes musical sounds. The audio data is processed to identify a portion of the audio data in which a decibel level of the musical sounds is stable for a period of time. Non-musical noise present, if any, in the audio data with the musical sounds is identified and the non-musical noise is attenuated from the audio data to generate noise-reduced musical audio data. The noise-reduced musical audio data is transmitted for play out at one or more other endpoints participating in the online conference session.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2023Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Bjørn Winsvold, Eric Yi-hua Chen, Wei-Lien Hsu, Pi-Hsin Liu

Patent number: 12040944Abstract: The present technology provides a framework for user-guided end-to-end automation of network deployment and management, that enables a user to guide the automation process for any kind of network deployment from the ground up, as well as offering network management, visibility, and compliance verification. The disclosed technology accomplishes this by creating a stateful and interactive virtual representation of a fabric using a customizable underlay fabric template instantiated with user-provided parameter values and network topology data computed from one or more connected network devices. A set of expected configurations corresponding to the user-specified underlay and overly fabric policies is then generated for deployment onto the connected network devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2023Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Uffaz Nathaniel, Aakruthi Ramkumar Gopisetty, Jason David Notari, Shyam Kapadia, Lukas Krattiger

Patent number: 12041440Abstract: The disclosed technology separates session management function signaling from the AMF. In particular, an SMF key is created for each SMF following the AMF generating an SM context request that contains gNB information and UE subscription information. Each PDU session creates a direct connection between the SMF and a local gNB. The gNB communicates with each SMF directly over a new interface (N3-C) for session management that is independent of the N2 interface used by the gNB to communicate with the AMF for mobility management. In this way, each SMF independently handles NAS signaling with the UE, using the SMF key and gNB related session-management signaling over an independent interface with the gNB. This removes the burden of relaying these communications through the AMF, which is then freed up to solely to handle mobility management signaling, resulting in an improved architecture.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2023Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Irfan Ali

Patent number: 12041694Abstract: A network controller provides proactive notification of a wireless client device's address rotation to layer 2 (L2) and/or layer 3 (L3) devices. Traditional methods of device address discovery rely on broadcasting of address queries across a plurality of links until a path to a device having the queried address responds. As device address changes become more frequent in an effort to improve user privacy, traditional methods of address discovery impose a large burden on networks, reducing their performance and efficiency. By proactively propagating address changes to upstream devices, the need for broadcast oriented address discovery techniques is reduced, resulting in improved network performance.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2022Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Robert E.

Patent number: 12034592Abstract: Techniques for leveraging a software defined tracking architecture to track endpoint connected to a network fabric are described. An orchestrator of a network fabric receives port information indicating a port of a fabric edge device to which an endpoint is connected. The orchestrator transmits the port information to a network node in the network fabric enabling data-plane traffic inspection. Using the port information, the network node detects traffic having a destination address corresponding to the endpoint. The network node transmits an indication that traffic was received by the network node having the destination address corresponding to the endpoint. Finally, onboarding of the endpoint into the network fabric is triggered at the fabric edge device.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2022Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Mariusz Kaźmierski
