  • Patent number: 12267167
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method and a device in a node for wireless communications. A first node receives a first signaling group, the first signaling group being used to indicate a first signature sequence group and a second signature sequence group; transmits a first signature sequence in a first time interval; and transmits a second characteristic sequence in a second time interval; whether the first signature sequence belongs to the first signature sequence group or the second signature sequence group is used for selecting the second signature sequence; any signature sequence in the first signature sequence group is associated with a shared channel resource unit in a first period. The present application avoids the situation where the first node persistently selects random access preambles without being associated with a shared channel resource unit, thus ensuring that the requirement on access delay for UE is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 12238057
    Abstract: A method for prohibiting email content propagation that receives, at a server, an email message. At the server, at least one email address associated with the email message which is designated not to receive a content of the email message is identified. At the server, the email message is modified by selectively removing a content of the email message to be conveyed to the at least one email address. The server conveys the modified email message to the at least one email address. The server conveys the email message to one or more recipient email addresses except the at least one email address. Consequently, the server has sent a submitted message to multiple email addresses, while modifying the content sent to a subset of the addresses that received the email message.

  • Patent number: 12231389
    Abstract: This application provides a communication method, a gateway, and a management method and apparatus. A first data center is configured to provide non-public cloud services, and a second data center is configured to provide public cloud services. A gateway configured in the second data center is connected to a first subnet of the first data center, and is connected to a second subnet of the second data center. The first subnet and the second subnet have a same private network segment. The method includes: a layer 2 gateway receives a first address resolution protocol (ARP) request packet, which is used to request a MAC address of a second device in the second subnet, sent by a first device in the first subnet, and the gateway sends the first ARP reply packet, which carries a first MAC address of the gateway, to the first device.

  • Patent number: 12231250
    Abstract: An agenda dictating a sequence of actions to occur during a conference associated with a plurality of participants is accessed. The sequence of actions is associated with an electronic signature envelope. Content shared by a sharing participant of the conference is monitored for content corresponding to a given action of the sequence. Responsive to detecting the content corresponding to the given action, an acting participant for the given action is determined and data obtained from sensors of a client device of the acting participant is monitored. It is determined that the data indicates that the acting participant has performed the given action and an auditable data structure reflective of the data is generated. The content shared by the sharing participant of the conference is automatically modified to include content corresponding to a next action of the sequence of actions.

  • Patent number: 12231516
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a data acquisition device for mobile devices, having a processing unit and a memory unit. The data acquisition unit includes a communications module for transmitting acquired data to a backend server, and a bus interface for receiving messages transmitted via an internal communications bus of the mobile device. The processing unit is configured to use the data received in the messages to form a data series, and to store the data series in the memory unit. In order to reduce the memory required, the processing unit is configured to conduct a preliminary analysis of the stored data series to extract at least one region of interest of the data series and transfer the same to the communications module, which is configured to transmit the at least one extracted region of the data series to the backend server. This procedure is equivalent to data aggregation.

  • Patent number: 12224897
    Abstract: A system associated with a distributed cloud service may include an active network node within a network environment between a provider application and a consumer application. The active network node may have an execution environment, an operating system to support the execution environment, and active hardware. The active network node may automatically detect, via a platform and language independent centralized resilience process, a failure event in an active network that routes packets to support the distributed cloud service. The failure event might be associated with, for example, an unreliable network, a low bandwidth, a high latency, a topology change, transport costs, etc. Responsive to the detection of the failure event, the active network node may dynamically implement an application resilience pattern (e.g., a circuit breaker or bounded queue) by the centralized resilience process to facilitate recovery from the detected failure event without participation of the consumer application.

  • Patent number: 12206565
    Abstract: Systems and methods are contemplated for reconfiguration of one or more MAC instances while the WTRU is operating using dual- or multi-MAC instance connectivity. For example, upon reception of RRC reconfiguration information that modifies one or more secondary MAC instances, the WTRU may transmit a reconfiguration complete message to a Macro eNB (MeNB) and may synchronize to small-cell or secondary eNB (SeNB), for example if triggered by one or more of an RRC flag, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order (MeNB/SeNB), MAC activation information, etc. For example, the WTRU may synchronize to the SeNB for specific type(s) of RRC reconfigurations, but not other type(s) of RRC reconfigurations. Although examples may be described in terms of dual connectivity, the WTRU may establish connectivity and perform mobility procedures with more than two radio access network (RAN) nodes (e.g., eNBs), and the embodiments described may be equally applicable to those scenarios.
