  • Patent number: 11863182
    Abstract: A table-based state machine is improved by reducing critical dependence path. In one aspect, all current states for a given input are read from a state table circuit, and the next state and output are then selected therefrom by an output multiplexer based on the current state, removing dependence on the current state from the table read, and allowing the read(s) to be pipelined. In a further aspect, multiple input units are configured to operate on multiple inputs in parallel, with each input unit propagating its state table circuit for its current input to the next downstream input unit. Each downstream input unit is configured to use the propagated state table circuit to provide the state table circuit reads to the proper output multiplexer input. The number of possible output states for a given input may be dynamically reduced, reducing the size of the output multiplexer selecting the next state.

  • Patent number: 11864099
    Abstract: A wireless communication system comprises Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) that use Uniform Data Repositories (UDRs) to serve wireless User Equipment (UEs) over wireless network slices. A serving PLMN determines a UE Identifier (ID) for a wireless UE and a slice ID for a wireless network slice. The serving PLMN indicates the UE ID and the slice ID to a Service Communication Proxy (SCP) in the serving PLMN. The SCP selects a UDR in a different PLMN based on the UE ID and the slice ID. The SCP indicates the UE ID and the slice ID to the selected UDR in the different PLMN. The selected UDR in the different PLMN transfers UE information for the UE for delivery to the network element in the serving PLMN. The network element in the serving PLMN controls the wireless network slice for the wireless UE based on the UE information.
