  • Patent number: 11991645
    Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to determining a response by a user equipment to a signal from a base station based on transmission signal strength relayed with the signal in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include receiving initial signal from base station equipment, with the initial signal encoding a signal strength of the base station transmission, which can facilitate establishing a connection between the user equipment and the base station equipment. The method can further include, based on the signal strength value, estimating a likelihood that a response signal from the user equipment would be able to reach base station equipment. Further, the method can include, based on the estimated likelihood, determine a response to initial signal.

  • Patent number: 11947684
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for searching encrypted data. A search query containing a plaintext key can be received from a client device or other application. A request can then be sent to a storage engine for a ciphertext key of a node of a binary tree, the node representing an encrypted key-value pair that includes the ciphertext key. The ciphertext key can be decrypted using a cryptographic key to generate a decrypted ciphertext key. Then, the decrypted ciphertext key can be compared to the plaintext key. A determination can then be made as to whether the encrypted key-value pair represented by the node of the binary tree satisfies the search query based at least in part on a comparison of the decrypted ciphertext key to the plaintext key.
