  • Patent number: 10581627
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to broadcast and multicast in a wireless communication system. In some implementations, an announcement frame indicating a broadcast or multicast service period to multiple second wireless devices is transmitted by a first wireless device. The announcement frame indicates (i) an end time of the broadcast or multicast service period and (ii) an order of a sequence of frames to be directed to the multiple second wireless devices. Each of the sequence of frames is transmitted at the first wireless device using a directional antenna pattern to a respective one of the multiple second wireless devices, according to the order of the sequence of frames indicated in the announcement frame. An acknowledgement frame in response to the each of the sequence of frames is received at the first wireless device from the respective one of the multiple second wireless devices.

  • Patent number: 10574706
    Abstract: A technique for manipulating one mobile device (MD) from a plurality of MDs to maintain the transmitting rate of packets of an upload session to one Internet Protocol (IP) server from a plurality of IP servers is disclosed. The technique may utilize an upload-rate-controlling server that is communicatively coupled between the plurality of MDs and the plurality of IP servers and is configured to respond to missing one or more packets by using SACK and DSACK messages. Other embodiments may estimate the delay of the uploaded packets and adapt the value of a new-receiving window such that the delay of the uploaded packets is smaller than the value of the time threshold used by intermediate nodes for dropping packets.

  • Patent number: 10574334
    Abstract: A wireless relay manages Radio Frequency (RF) interference. A wireless access point in the relay wireless exchanges user data with wireless user devices using an amount of Carrier Aggregation Secondary Component Carriers (CA SCCs) in an RF band. A wireless network transceiver in the relay wireless exchanges the user data with a wireless communication network using a number of RF channels in the RF band. In response to excessive RF interference, the wireless access point wireless exchanges subsequent user data with the wireless user devices using a lower amount of the CA SCCs in the RF band. In response to the excessive RF interference, the wireless network transceiver wireless exchanges the subsequent user data with the wireless communication network using a lower number of RF channels in the RF band.

  • Patent number: 10575231
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to providing connection channel adaption using robotic automation. The invention leverages a robotic process automation module to generate an operation record based on previous user device input in order to automatically recover and continue a previous interaction with an entity platform conducted over a terminated connection channel. The system automatically establishes a new connection channel upon determining the initial channel termination while retaining previous user input interaction progression within the entity platform. Further, the module may be configured to transform the user input to be compatible with the new connection channel allowing for seamless continuation of the interaction to minimize downtime.

  • Patent number: 10554425
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for enabling a network of network devices (or “nodes”) to provide redundant multicast streams from redundant multicast sources to an egress network node. In some examples, the egress network node (or a controller for the network) computes maximally redundant trees (MRTs) from the egress network node to a virtual proxy node virtually added to the network topology by the egress network node for redundant multicast sources of redundant multicast streams.

  • Patent number: 10523560
    Abstract: Techniques are described for selecting paths in accordance with service level agreements. For example, spoke and hub routers may advertise routes associated with virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances mapped to service level agreements (SLAs). A virtual route reflector of an intermediate router may receive route advertisements and may add respective path communities associated with particular links selected based on link state measurements in accordance with the SLAs. The hub or spoke routers may receive the route advertisements including a respective path community and install the selected path as a next-hop for a given SLA. In this way, spoke and hub routers may forward traffic on links that satisfy particular SLAs such that Quality of Experience (QoE) for an application may be restored or improved.

  • Patent number: 10511393
    Abstract: Geocast-based file transfer may be implemented via use of a Geocast File Transfer (GFT) protocol. A sending device may parse a file into multiple chunks. Respective multiple geocast packets comprising the chunks may be geocast. The sending device may geocast all packets sequentially. Upon geocasting all packets, the sending device may wait a predetermined amount of time. During the period of time, any receiving device that did not receive a chunk of the file may geocast a request for the missing chunk. Receiving devices also may wait various respective amounts of time before geocasting requests. Other receiving devices that may have missed a chunk may hear that the chunk it missed is being requested. And that device need not make a request for the chunk. Rather, that device may wait for the sending device to retransmit a geocast packet that contains the missing chunk.

  • Patent number: 10511529
    Abstract: A packet processing method for a virtual switch is carried out in a virtual switch under the SDN architecture. The method presets a signature pre-computation table including plural destination addresses and signatures corresponding to the destination addresses. With the installation of the signature pre-computation table, the destination addresses fall into packets of the signature pre-computation table without requiring computing the signature of the packet. The method simply obtains the corresponding signature according to the destination address of the packet destination address, and thus saves the time required for processing a packet and improves the throughput of the virtual switch.
