  • Patent number: 11637765
    Abstract: Various arrangements for monitoring and enforcing multi-tier throughput assignments in a network, such as satellite-based communication network, are presented. Throughput usage may be monitored on a beam-level, satellite-level, gateway-level, and system level. Throughput usage for individual satellite terminals may be aggregated and used to determine the throughput usage on an entity-by-entity basis. An entity can have one or more sub-entities to which throughput is allocated. Excessive throughput usage for higher-tier entities can result in throughput being restricted for satellite terminals associated with lower-tier entities.

  • Patent number: 11595502
    Abstract: Certain tasks related to processing layer 7 (L7) data streams, such as HTTP data streams, can be performed by an L7 assist circuit instead of by general-purpose CPUs. The L7 assist circuit can normalize URLs, Huffman decode, Huffman encode, and generate hashes of normalized URLs. A L7 data stream, which is reassembled from received network packets, includes an L7 header. L7 assist produces an augmented L7 header that is added to the L7 data stream. The CPUs can use the augmented L7 header, thereby speeding up processing. On the outbound path, L7 assist can remove the augmented L7 header and perform Huffman encoding such that the CPUs can perform other tasks.

  • Patent number: 11576123
    Abstract: Logic may define one or more wake-up preambles suitable for high data rates for a wake-up radio (WUR) packet. Logic may define wake-up preamble with different counts of symbols. Logic may generate a wake-up preamble as an on-off keying (OOK) signal. Logic may generate and receive a wake-up preamble that signals a high data transmission rate with respect to data rates defined for WUR packet transmissions. Logic may generate or receive a preamble that signals a rate of transmission of the WUR packet as 250 kilobits per second. Logic may transmit or receive bits of the wake-up preamble as two microsecond orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) based pulses, wherein each two microsecond OFDM based pulse is based on a 32-point Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in a 20 Megahertz (MHz) bandwidth, with a subcarrier spacing of 625 Kilohertz (KHz) to produce six subcarriers in a four MHz bandwidth.
