  • Patent number: 10938739
    Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for efficiently buffering data units within a network device. A traffic manager or other network device component receives Transport Data Units (“TDUs”), which are sub-portions of Protocol Data Units (“PDUs”). Rather than buffer an entire TDU together, the component divides the TDU into multiple Storage Data Units (“SDUs”) that can fit in SDU buffer entries within physical memory banks. A TDU-to-SDU Mapping (“TSM”) memory stores TSM lists that indicate which SDU entries store SDUs for a given TDU. Physical memory banks in which the SDUs are stored may be grouped together into logical SDU banks that are accessed together as if a single bank. The TSM memory may include a number of distinct TSM banks, with each logical SDU bank having a corresponding TSM bank. Techniques for maintaining inter-packet and intra-packet linking data compatible with such buffers are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10917201
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method in a radio network element of providing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback comprises receiving, from a wireless transmitter, a first set of coded bits. The first set of coded bits comprises a partial subset of coded bits to be received during a transmission time interval (TTI). The radio network element decodes the first set of coded bits; determines a first decoding indicator based on the success or failure of the decoding of the first set of coded bits; and communicates the first decoding indicator to the wireless transmitter. Particular embodiments communicate the first decoding indicator to the wireless transmitter within four TTI of receiving the first set of coded bits. Particular embodiments estimate a decoding indicator for the entire TTI based on the success or failure of the decoding of the first set of coded bits.
