  • Patent number: 11199995
    Abstract: A memory sub-system configured to be responsive to a time to live requirement for load commands from a processor. For example, a load command issued by the processor (e.g., SoC) can include, or be associated with, an optional time to live parameter. The parameter requires that the data at the memory address be available within the time specified by the time to live parameter. When the requested data is currently in the lower speed memory (e.g., NAND flash) and not available in the higher speed memory (e.g., DRAM, NVRAM), the memory subsystem can determine that the data cannot be made available with the specified time and optionally skip the operations and return an error response immediately.

  • Patent number: 11200884
    Abstract: Techniques for labeling user inputs for updating user recognition voice profiles are described. A system may leverage various signals, generated during or after processing of a user input, to retroactively determine which user spoke the user input. For example, after the system receives the user input, the user may provide the system with non-spoken user verification information. Based on such user verification information, the system may label the previously spoken user input as originating from the particular user. The system may also or alternatively use system usage history to retroactively label user inputs.

  • Patent number: 11202206
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for improving resource management in Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) networks include a Spectrum Access System (SAS) in coordination with one or more CBRS devices (CBSDs) and a Digital Network Architecture center (DNA-C). Resource allocation decisions can be based on one or more policies such as a priority, a preemption capability index and/or a preemption vulnerability index associated with the CBSDs. Resource allocation can also be based on inter-access point (AP) coordination between two or more CBSDs and comparative performance indicators of the two or more CBSDs. Managing interference between two or more groups of CBSDs can be based on the inter-AP coordination and group identifiers associated with the two or more groups. Bandwidth allocation can be modified to the two or more CBSDs and seamless transition can be implemented using timers.

  • Patent number: 11202221
    Abstract: A control plane (CP) entity is to adaptively reroute user plane traffic of a mobile node (MN) with use of a segment routing (SR) for IPv6. A message indicating an attachment of the MN to the mobile network is received selecting a first user plane (UP) anchor node. A first set of home network prefixes (HNPs) are allocated to the MN. An IP traffic flow using a first HNP prefix is established between the MN and a correspondent node (CN) along a first network path—defined at least in part by the first UP anchor node and an anchor node of the CN. In response to a handover of the MN, a message indicating a subsequent attachment of the MN is received selecting a second UP anchor node. The second UP anchor node is instructed to host the first HNP prefix previously allocated by the first UP anchor node.
