Abstract: A method to transmit data packets includes: in a first transceiver, that includes multiple RF transmitters and an RF receiver, receiving an ACK signal from a second transceiver; determining if a data packet was successfully received, and if so, removing the data packet from the queue. If the queue is empty, the method ends. If not, the method proceeds with the next data packet, determines if the ACK has been received, and if it includes an RF mode with diversity information. If there is no diversity information, the data packet is transmitted conventionally. If there is an RF mode with diversity information, the method transmits the data packet using information from the RF mode. Using the RF mode may include replacing PHY information and activating and setting transmitter frequencies for multiple RF transmitters.

Abstract: Instead of all the NAND memory having asynchronous independent plane read (AIPR) enabled, a system utilizes a master-SSD to route data to multiple client SSDs via a controller memory buffer (CMB) according to the underlying NAND hardware (HW) of each of the client SSDs. The master-SSD will also analyze the application data retrieval of the logical data that is to be routed. The system comprises SSDs with AIPR NAND circuitry and SSDs with non-AIPR NAND circuitry. The system further comprises the master-SSD that will route data to any of the SSDs in the system based on the data retrieval type (sequential or random). Each of the SSDs can be of a different type beyond the NAND chip, such as HW IPs or specific firmware (FW) that is tuned towards specific data routing and retrieval requirements.

Abstract: Splitting an address translation cache (ATC) into two portions can reduce costs and maintain efficient retrieval of data. One portion can be disposed in a first location while a second portion can be disposed in a second location distinct from the first location. The first location can be in the controller. The second location can be in a host memory buffer (HMB) or in a memory device separate from the controller. To obtain translated addresses, untranslated addresses can be searched in the first portion and the corresponding translated addresses can be retrieved from the second portion. When invalidating untranslated addresses, the untranslated addresses of the first portion can be deleted without a need to delete corresponding translated addresses in the second portion. To improve ATC storage capacity, grouping of untranslated addresses is possible using most significant bytes (MSBs).

Abstract: In response to determining that continuous data protection is to be enabled for a particular table of a database service, a service component verifies that automated transmission of change records of the table to a log-structured journal has been configured. A given change record comprises a before-image and an after-image associated with a committed database write, and is assigned a unique sequence number. In response to a determination to restore the table as of a specified point in time, a restore record set is identified from the journal with respect to a selected snapshot of the table. The restore record set includes change records which are not represented in the snapshot and are to be represented in the restored table. A restore result table is created using the selected snapshot and the restore record set.

Abstract: A file system manager implemented at a provider network identifies a storage device of a first group of storage devices of a provider network as an initial location of a file system object. Based on an access metric associated with the object, the file system manager initiates a transfer of contents of the object to a second storage device of a different storage device group, without receiving a client request specifying the transfer. In response to an access request received via a file system programmatic interface, contents of the object are provided from the second storage device. Based on a second access metric, the object is transferred back to the first group of storage devices.
