  • Patent number: 11765000
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) gateway. During operation, the VXLAN gateway receives, from a physical host, an Ethernet packet destined for a virtual machine residing in a remote layer-2 network broadcast domain that is different from a local layer-2 network broadcast domain where the physical host resides. The VXLAN gateway then determines a VXLAN identifier for the received Ethernet packet. The VXLAN gateway further encapsulates the Ethernet packet with the virtual extensible local area network identifier and an Internet Protocol (IP) header, and forwards the encapsulated packet to an IP network, thereby allowing the packet to be transported to the virtual machine via the IP network and allowing the remote layer-2 network broadcast domain and the local layer-2 network broadcast domain to be part of a common layer-2 broadcast domain.

  • Patent number: 11729732
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for reducing latency of periodic URLLC transmission and other critical data transmission with low latency requirements. To support periodic URLLC traffic, SPS with repetition is used. Before synchronization is achieved, the base station sends to the UE an SPS configuration for a periodic uplink data transmission. When the starting time of the data transmission is not known, the base station over-provisions SPS resources for the periodic data transmission. Based on the timing of the data transmissions, the base station adjusts the timing of the SPS configuration.
