  • Patent number: 10742271
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a codeblock segmentation configuration system. A base station can configure the segmentation rate or segment size, which can control the number of codeblock segments a transport block is segmented into, based on the transmission reliability and predicted interference to a mobile device. An increased number of segments can improve throughput and efficiency when interference is low and signal to noise ratios are high, but can increase latency when interference is high and signal to noise is low. The base station can determine or predict transmission reliability based on the speed of mobile devices, the location and/or distance to the mobile device, as well as the long term signal to noise ratios.

  • Patent number: 10736126
    Abstract: A method of processing a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) message in a V2X message transmitting entity may comprise obtaining, at the V2X message transmitting entity, status information of a transmission target entity; determining adaptively a security level for a V2X message to be transmitted to the transmission target entity based on the obtained status information; and generating the V2X message according to the determined security level, and transmitting the V2X message to the transmission target entity. Because security levels of V2X messages are adaptively determined, the V2X messages can be processed according to a processing capability of the transmission target entity and the type of the V2X message, thereby assuring the safety of the driver.

  • Patent number: 10736106
    Abstract: A node of a wireless network transmits information to a user equipment over an aggregated carrier that includes a primary carrier having a first set of primary carrier time/frequency resources and a secondary carrier having a second set of secondary carrier time/frequency resources. Synchronization signals and/or reference symbols are transmitted to the user equipment on the secondary carrier less often than on the primary carrier. An indication of when and/or how often the synchronization signals and/or reference symbols will be transmitted to the user equipment on the secondary carrier may also be transmitted to the user equipment over the primary carrier. By transmitting synchronization signals and/or reference symbols to the user equipment on the secondary carrier less often than on the primary carrier, resources of the secondary carrier may be conserved, energy efficiency of the secondary carrier may be increased, and/or interference with other cells may be reduced or prevented.

  • Patent number: 10735170
    Abstract: The present invention provides an HARQ-ACK feedback method and device. User equipment of the present invention detects downlink grant downlink control information and performs HARQ-ACK feedback for downlink data corresponding to the downlink control information. The user equipment processes HARQ-ACK for downlink data as a discontinuous transmission (DTX), when there is interference or noise exceeding a threshold value in the downlink data. Therefore, the user equipment can be prevented from receiving the downlink data having a different redundancy version.

  • Patent number: 10728181
    Abstract: A method and an information handling system (IHS) transform an initial message having an identified protocol format to an encapsulated message having an advanced message queuing protocol (AMQP) format. A dynamic message brokering (DMB) module interacts with an AMQP client application to generate a binding key and a routing key corresponding to message attributes of the initial message. The DMB module dynamically applies one or more of the binding key and the routing key to respective programming command modules, including a provider module, to generate an AMQP client message which is forwarded to an AMQP server. The AMQP server creates a queue for messages having attributes that are identifiable within the received client message, and uses the binding key to bind the queue to a specified exchange. The AMQP server routes the received client message to the queue, using the routing key, enabling subscribers to retrieve the messages.

  • Patent number: 10720988
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing end-to-end beamforming. For example, end-to-end beamforming systems include end-to-end relays and ground networks to provide communications to user terminals located in user beam coverage areas. The ground segment can include geographically distributed access nodes and a central processing system. Return uplink signals, transmitted from the user terminals, have multipath induced by a plurality of receive/transmit signal paths in the end to end relay and are relayed to the ground network. The ground network, using beamformers, recovers user data streams transmitted by the user terminals from return downlink signals. The ground network, using beamformers generates forward uplink signals from appropriately weighted combinations of user data streams that, after relay by the end-end-end relay, produce forward downlink signals that combine to form user beams.

  • Patent number: 10721176
    Abstract: A bandwidth management system includes a plurality of queues respectively corresponding to a plurality of zones. An enqueuing module receives network traffic from one or more incoming network interfaces, determines a belonging zone to which the network traffic belongs, and enqueues the network traffic on a queue corresponding to the belonging zone. A dequeuing module selectively dequeues data from the queues and passes the data to one or more outgoing network interfaces. When dequeuing data from the queues the dequeuing module dequeues an amount of data from a selected queue, and the amount of data dequeued from the selected queue is determined according to user load of a zone to which the selected queue corresponds.
