  • Patent number: 11374652
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for routing packets in a network, such as a satellite mesh network. Network nodes maintain awareness of network status in a limited surrounding region through flooding notifications. Network nodes route packets by addressing them to a selected other node within part or the entire limited surrounding region. Network nodes adjust the portion of the network to which they route packets to match the limited surrounding region, which changes dynamically due to network events.

  • Patent number: 11357013
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling configuring the UE with a set of frequency resources and a semi-persistent resource allocation indicating a semi-persistent resource occasion on each frequency resource of the set. The UE may monitor semi-persistent resource occasions on each of the set of frequency resources for a copy of a data transmission. If the UE receives and decodes the data transmission from at least one of the semi-persistent resource occasions, the UE may transmit an acknowledgement message on a frequency resource of the set. Additionally, the UE may refrain from transmitting a feedback message on the other frequency resources of the set. If the UE does not receive and successfully decode the data transmission from any of the semi-persistent resource occasions, the UE may transmit a negative acknowledgement message on one of the set of frequency resources.

  • Patent number: 11343196
    Abstract: A packet processing apparatus sets, for each TS as a gate state of each of a first gate and a second gate, a priority state, a normal state, and a mixed state and sets a predetermined TS associated with a cyclic pattern of the first packet to the priority or the mixed state. The apparatus allocates, when an amount of output delay of the first packet that is in the mixed state in the predetermined TS is within an allowable amount, the first packet and the second packet to the predetermined TS. The apparatus sets output timing of the first packet allocated in the predetermined TS to the priority state and sets output timing of the second packet allocated in the predetermined TS to the normal state.

  • Patent number: 11317273
    Abstract: A system is described in which a default mobility management entity (MME) receives, from a base station, a request for setting up a communication connection to a mobile device having an associated usage type. The default MME sends, to the base station and responsive to the request, a message identifying a dedicated MME, to which the request should be re-routed, the dedicated MME having a supported service type corresponding to the usage type associated with the mobile device. The base station sends a response to the default MME, the response indicating whether re-routing to said dedicated MME is was successful or not (e.g. due to an overload of the dedicated MME). If the re-routing was not successful, the default MME attempts to serve the mobile device instead of the dedicated MME.

  • Patent number: 11296851
    Abstract: A method, base station (BS), user equipment (UE), apparatus, and computer program product for wireless communication are provided. An aggressor BS may cause a remote interference condition for a victim BS, and the victim BS may transmit a reference signal to the aggressor BS to enable a remote interference management (RIM) operation to be performed. However, the aggressor BS may be unable to identify the victim BS based at least in part on the reference signal, and may fail to transmit a reference signal as a response. Further, when the aggressor BS does transmit a reference signal, the victim BS may be unable to identify the aggressor BS. This may reduce an effectiveness of RIM operations. In some aspects, BSs may transmit reciprocal reference signals including identification information to enable effective RIM operations.

  • Patent number: 11290387
    Abstract: An example method may include identifying a first transmit identifier (TID) associated with a first node of a wireless network as ready to transmit and adding the first TID to a ready to transmit queue at a first point in time. The method may also include identifying a second TID associated with a second node of the wireless network as ready to transmit, and adding the second TID to the ready to transmit queue at a second point in time later than the first point in time. The method may additionally include selecting the second TID from the ready to transmit queue before selecting the first TID based on a projected increased overall throughput of packets within the wireless network when communicating with the second node before communicating with the first node.

  • Patent number: 11258653
    Abstract: A network management gateway device, method, and software is disclosed which communicates and translates between more sophisticated digital data network monitoring devices and managers, such as SNMP managers, and managed network devices, such as OpenFlow packet switches, which often are not sophisticated enough to respond to SNMP or REST type monitoring methods. This gateway may communicate with managed devices in one or more of a variety of modes. The manager may communicate with the gateway directly, or be configured to communicate with the managed device while the communications are redirected to the gateway and processed by the gateway. In some embodiments, the gateway may use the OpenFlow protocol to communicate management data with an OpenFlow switch and to install a flow in the switch to redirect management traffic to the gateway. Other routers and switches may also be used to redirect network management traffic to the gateway as well.
