  • Patent number: 11811545
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for configuring a set of MFEs to implement a distributed multicast logical router and multiple logical switches to process the multicast data messages. The method sends, from a managed forwarding element (MFE) implementing the distributed multicast logical router, a multicast group query to a set of data compute nodes (DCNs) that are logically connected to one of several logical switches and that execute on the same host machine as the managed forwarding element. The method receives multicast group reports from a subset of the set of DCNs and at least one of the multicast group reports specifies a multicast group of interest. The method distributes, to a set of MFEs executing on other host machines, a summarized multicast group report specifying a set of multicast groups of interest to the first MFE (i.e., multicast groups that the first MFE participates in).

  • Patent number: 11800581
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A cellular user equipment (C-UE) and vehicle UE (V-UE) may perform a discovery process. The C-UE and the V-UE may exchange identification and location information. One of the UEs may communicate the identification information of one or both of the UEs to a base station or a sidelink wireless device. The base station and the sidelink wireless device may be co-located. Based on the identification information of the C-UE and the V-UE, the base station may determine that the C-UE and the V-UE are co-located, and the base station may perform downlink transmissions based on the determined co-location.

  • Patent number: 11785497
    Abstract: A method performed by a first node is disclosed herein. The method is for handling data traffic. The first node operates in a communications network. The first node receives an indication from a second node operating in the network. The indication indicates, for a packet forwarding control protocol (PFCP) session, at least one of: i) a first rule for packet detection; and ii) a second rule of enforcement of quality of service. The first node initiates a process of optimization, based on reinforcement learning, of a procedure to control data traffic in the network. The process of optimization is further based on the received indication. A method performed by the second node is also described. The second node receives a first indication from the first node indicating that the first node supports the process of optimization. The second node then sends the indication to the first node.

    Abstract: Data-driven intelligent networking systems and methods are provided. The system can accommodate dynamic traffic with fast, effective congestion control. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data. Each flow can be provided with a flow-specific input queue upon arriving at a switch. Packets of a respective flow can be acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets can be sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path. As a result, each switch can obtain state information of each flow and perform flow control on a per-flow basis.

  • Patent number: 11729754
    Abstract: A first access network device determines a timing offset of a first carrier and a second carrier. The timing offset is an offset between timing of downlink communication of the first carrier and timing of uplink communication of the second carrier. The first carrier is a carrier using a first radio access technology (RAT), and the second carrier is an uplink frequency division duplex (FDD) carrier using the first RAT and a second RAT. The first access network device sends first indication information to a terminal. The first indication information indicates the timing offset, and the timing offset is used to determine the timing of the second carrier. Based on this scheme, the terminal can use a shared frequency band resource of LTE, thereby improving resource utilization.

  • Patent number: 11729093
    Abstract: A mobile accelerator system includes point of presences (POPs) that includes an entry POP. The entry POP receives a query to a content server from a mobile device via a dedicated transport channel. The entry POP determines a direct connection score for a direct connection between the mobile device and the content server that does not traverse the mobile accelerator system. The entry POP determines a POP connection score for a connection between the mobile device and the content server through the entry POP and a candidate exit POP. The entry POP determines a dynamic path ranking based on the direct connection score, the POP connection score, and other POP connection score(s) associated with other candidate exit POP(s). The entry POP determines at least a portion of a dynamic path between the mobile device based on the dynamic path ranking and routes data transfers through that dynamic path.

  • Patent number: 11716760
    Abstract: A wireless communication protocol for an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) using carrier-sense multiple-access collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) with multi-link operations. Transmit opportunities (TXOPs) are obtained by setting a random number of backoff slots, as a random backoff, for channel contention on each link, and counting down the random backoff on each link independently. When the backoff for the link reaches zero, channel access is obtained and a TXOP duration of reserved on a link whose end time cannot occur later than the latest existing TXOPs of the AP MLD. Numerous variations are described for setting the random number of backoff slots and for reserving the TXOP duration on a link.
