Patent number: 10623310Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a data packet processing method applied to a computing device in software-defined networking. After receiving a data packet of a data flow, a NIC queries a flow table set according to matching information of the data packet; and if a flow table is obtained from the flow table set the NIC processes the data packet according to the flow table; or if no flow table can be obtained from the flow table set, the NIC sends the data packet to a virtual switch to obtain a flow table corresponding to the data flow, and saves the flow table into the flow table set, so that the NIC can process a subsequent data packet of the data flow. An operating load of the virtual switch is reduced, and operating efficiency of the computing device is improved.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Tianyi Wu, Zhongjun Zhang, Tao Gan

Patent number: 10499394Abstract: Techniques are described for preempting resource allocations to one or more UEs in the event that delay sensitive data is received. A resource allocation of a number of symbols may be granted to a first user equipment (UE) for first associated data to be transmitted. Subsequently, data may be received for a second UE that is more delay sensitive than the first data. The resource allocation to the first UE may be preempted, and resources allocated to the second UE for the second data within a variable length transmission time interval (TTI) of the resource allocation to the first UE. UEs may monitor for preemption during transmissions to other UEs in order to receive new resource grants associated with the preempted resource grant. Whether a UE monitors transmissions for preemption may be determined based on a quality or service (QoS) of the UE.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jelena Damnjanovic, Aleksandar Damnjanovic, Taesang Yoo, Siddhartha Mallik, Madhavan Srinivasan Vajapeyam, Durga Prasad Malladi, Yongbin Wei

Patent number: 10476798Abstract: A network switch that provides deterministic and configurable logic for longest prefix matching (LPM) lookups. For an LPM lookup, a hardware pipeline proceeds sequentially through each prefix length group in decreasing or increasing order of prefix length. Each pipeline stage corresponds to a unique group of one or more prefix lengths. For each group there are 0 or more associated memory blocks (e.g., SRAM) that are active. Which memory blocks are associated with which stage of the pipeline is dynamically configurable. The index of the packet for the current prefix length group is obtained, and all active memory blocks for that prefix group are accessed simultaneously and searched at that index. Once the packet passes through all of the pipeline stages, a longest matched prefix can be used to obtain a next hop address.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: John K. Siebenthaler

Patent number: 10461898Abstract: An example embodiment includes a first, second, and third subsystem, each in different locations, where the first subsystem receives a request to deliver data to the third subsystem, sends a first subset of the data to the second subsystem, and sends, through first nodes, a first data stream containing a second subset of the data different from the first subset to the third subsystem. The second subsystem receives the first subset from the first subsystem, and sends, through second nodes that differ from the first nodes, a second data stream containing the first subset to the third subsystem. Furthermore, the third subsystem receives the first and second data streams, determines that the first and second data streams, in combination, contain the data, builds a data set containing the data based on the first and second data streams, and sends the data set to a downstream component of the third subsystem.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2017Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventor: Manu J.

Patent number: 10462813Abstract: In one aspect of the disclosed teachings, associating a plurality of contention-based uplink grants with a range of uplink resource blocks allows one contention-based uplink grant message to signal the entire plurality of grants. As an example in the LTE context, the signaling load on the PDCCH is reduced by using a single contention-based uplink grant message to signal a plurality of contention-based uplink grants. The message indicates an allocated set of uplink resource blocks and the number of separate uplink resource grants represented by the set is known or signaled, such that user terminals recognize that separate subsets of uplink resource blocks within the set each correspond to a separate contention-based uplink grant. Information included in the contention-based uplink grant message, or otherwise signaled can be used to control the probability at which the user terminals attempt contention-based uplink transmissions and/or to control the MCS used for such transmissions.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Stefan Henrik Andreas Wager, Henrik Enbuske, Anders Furuskär, Magnus Stattin, Michael Meyer, Anna Larmo
