  • Patent number: 11095546
    Abstract: This application provides a network device service quality detection method and apparatus. A service function feature of a network device is built into a service template as a fixed part. An operation and maintenance engineer does not need to learn of a service function feature of each network device, and only needs to provide information such as a flow identifier and deployment information that are of a to-be-detected service flow. A controller dynamically deploys a detection point according to the flow identifier and the deployment information of the service flow that are provided by the operation and maintenance engineer and the fixed part of the service template, so as to automatically detect service quality of a network device, and reduce operation and maintenance complexity and difficulties.

  • Patent number: 11071168
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, an access point obtains a current network feature and generates a matching rule and an access rule, so that a station performs uplink access according to the matching rule and the access rule. This resolves a prior-art problem of reduced quality of service of a high-priority service because in an EDCA protocol, when there are relatively many low-priority service nodes, the high-priority service has difficulty in obtaining a resource through contention, or a conflict occurs between a low-priority packet and a high-priority packet. Effects of ensuring quality of service and user experience are achieved.

    Abstract: A method of processing state information in a radio access network (100). The radio access network (100) includes a first radio access node (103, 104) that is associated with a cell (105, 106) and user equipment (102). The method comprises maintaining state information at the user equipment (102), the state information comprising at least one state information part associable with different values. The method further comprises transmitting a current value associated with at least one state information part from the user equipment (102) to the first radio access node (103, 104) in response to detecting at least one predetermined trigger indicating that the first radio access node (103, 104) may not hold the current value. The method further comprises relying on the first radio access node (103, 104) holding the current value associated with the at least one state information part if no predetermined trigger is detected.

  • Patent number: 11044150
    Abstract: A method is provided that uses a consistent hashing technique to dispatch incoming packets in a stable system prior to adding of a node. The method uses a hash table and assigns hash buckets in the table to each network node. A set of fields in each incoming packet is hashed and is used to identify the corresponding hash bucket. The packets are then dispatched to the network nodes based on the nodes' hash buckets. During an observation period, the method identifies the ongoing sessions by creating a bit vector table that is used to identify the old and new sessions during a re-dispatching period. The method uses the consistent hashing method and the probabilistic method dispatch the incoming packets such that each packet that belongs to an old session is dispatched to the same old node that has been processing the other packets of the session.
