  • Patent number: 11153122
    Abstract: For a set of gateway devices at the edge of a logical network, some embodiments provide a method for ensuring that data messages from an external network requiring a stateful service are received at an active gateway device. The method advertises the availability of a set of internet protocol (IP) addresses from standby gateway devices with a higher cost than the cost advertised by an active gateway device. In some embodiments, the advertisement is made using a border gateway protocol. Data messages may be unexpectedly received on a standby node despite the higher advertised cost. This could happen due to asymmetric network failures. The method determines if a stateful service is needed for the data messages received on standby node. Based on the determination, the method forwards the received data message to the active gateway device for the active gateway device to provide the stateful service.

  • Patent number: 11096170
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein increase the throughput and decreases the collisions of transmitted resource element group (REG) bundles. Prior to transmitting a PDCCH comprising REG bundles, one or more processors perform a multi-component interleaver process that diversifies and randomizes the sequence of the REG bundles while also supporting CORESETs having different symbol lengths. In embodiments, the multi-component interleaver diversifies a virtual sequence of REG bundles using a block interleaver and then uses a randomizer interleaver to randomize the output sequence of the block interleaver. The diversified and randomized output sequence of REG bundles may be the physical channel sequenced of the REG bundles. The physical channel sequence of REG bundles is diversified and randomized such that the physical sequence increases throughput and decreases the collisions of transmitted REG bundles. Other aspects are claimed and described.
