Patent number: 11206211Abstract: Systems and methods for routing traffic through a network along Label-Switched Paths (LSPs) that may extend across multiple autonomous systems include performing Internet Protocol (IP) routing lookups as a packet is transmitted along the LSP. In one implementation, a packet having a predetermined value (which may be inserted by an upstream network device) is received at a network device after travelling along a first segment of an LSP. In response to identifying the predetermined label value of the packet, the network device may perform an IP routing lookup using IP routing information included in the packet to identify a next hop for the packet. The network device may then update a label of the packet such that the packet is routed along a second segment of the LSP and transmit the communication packet to the next hop.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2020Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventor: Eric Osborne

Patent number: 11206416Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding/decoding. In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. For example, the processing circuitry decodes partition information from a coded video bitstream. The partition information is indicative of a minimum allowed quaternary tree (QT) leaf node size for an intra coded (I) slice. The minimum allowed QT leaf node size for the I slice is constrained by a threshold that is lower than a coding tree unit (CTU) size. Further, the processing circuitry partitions a coding tree block in the I slice into coding blocks based on the minimum allowed QT leaf node size, and reconstructs the coding blocks respectively from the coded video bitstream.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2020Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Tencent America LLCInventors: Guichun Li, Xiang Li, Shan Liu

Patent number: 11206705Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for flexible carrier uplink and downlink pairing for 4G, 5G and future networks. Downlink and uplink channels can be assigned to different bands that are not contiguous or bands that have different bandwidths. This enables base station devices to have the flexibility to assign uplink and downlink communications to bands that have lower load and thus improve the efficiency and throughput of the communication link for both uplink and downlink. The base station device can also assign uplink and downlink pairing in order to minimize passive intermodulation interference. Passive intermodulation interference from a transmission can cause interference in bands near the transmission band, and so the base station device can assign downlink and uplink bands that are separate from each other in order to reduce the passive intermodulation interference.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Gary Chow, Yi Shen

Patent number: 11205493Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques are described for reducing read disturb in a memory device by reducing the channel gradient and therefore reducing the charge injection to the memory cell. Channels of unselected NAND strings are boosted before reading memory cells in selected NAND strings. The boosting involves applying a positive voltage to source ends and drain ends of the unselected NAND strings, while drain-side select gate transistors are turned on and then off and a voltage signal of non-adjacent word lines of a selected word line, WLn, increases to a read pass voltage. A voltage signal of adjacent word lines of WLn is increased to a peak level to increase the channel conduction for faster read, where the peak level is less than the read pass voltage, decreased to a reduced level to reduce a channel gradient and therefore reduce a read disturb, then increased to the read pass voltage.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: SanDisk Technologies LLCInventors: Abu Naser Zainuddin, Henry Chin, Jiahui Yuan
