  • Patent number: 11979322
    Abstract: A method for providing a service for a traffic flow includes a network device receives a first packet; and when a packet feature of the first packet matches a packet feature of the traffic flow, the network device encapsulates an indication identifier of the traffic flow into the first packet to obtain a second packet, and sends the second packet.

  • Patent number: 11962518
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a packet for a flow associated with a workload. Based on an indicator for the flow, the method determines whether the flow corresponds to one of an elephant flow or a mice flow. Only when the flow is determined to correspond to an elephant flow, the method enables a hardware acceleration operation on the packet. The hardware acceleration operation may include hardware operation offload, receive side scaling, and workload migration.

  • Patent number: 11950208
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for performing sidelink communication. An example method indicates a frequency resource reservation in sidelink control information (SCI). The method includes identifying a transport block (TB) for transmission to a UE; determining a total number of sub-channels (NSL) in a resource pool for sidelink communication, a number of sub-channels (Lsub) of the TB, a first starting sub-channel index x1 of a first retransmission of the TB, and a second starting sub-channel index x2 of a second retransmission of the TB. The method includes determining a frequency resource indication value (FRIV) based on NSL, LSUB, x1, and x2, wherein the FRIV represents a result of a predetermined function of Lsub, x1, and x2 that generates a unique value for possible combinations of Lsub, x1, and x2. The FRIV is encoded in SCI and the SCI is transmitted to the UE.

  • Patent number: 11949426
    Abstract: Aspects relate to analog-to-digital conversion of an analog signal. The resolution (number of bits) and/or the quantization levels of the analog-to-digital conversion may be configurable. A device may configure its analog-to-digital conversion parameters. For example, a first device may reduce the number of bits for its analog-to-digital converter to reduce power consumption. In this case, the first device may transmit an indication of selected analog-to-digital conversion parameters to a second device that will transmit to the first device. In this way, the second device may take appropriate action, if needed. A device may request another device to use certain analog-to-digital conversion parameters. For example, a first device may determine that a second device should use a larger number of bits for its analog-to-digital conversion process to improve the quality of the communication between the first and second devices.

  • Patent number: 11950272
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a device in wireless transmission. A User Equipment (UE) first receives a first signaling, and then receives a first radio signal, the first radio signal carrying a first bit block. The first signaling is used for determining a transmission format corresponding to the first radio signal. The transmission format corresponding to the first radio signal is one transmission format in a first format set, and the first format set comprises a first transmission format and a second transmission format. A radio signal corresponding to the first transmission format includes P radio sub-signal(s), each one of the P radio sub-signal(s) carries the first bit block, and the P radio sub-signal(s) is(are) transmitted by a same antenna port group.

  • Patent number: 11943326
    Abstract: One example may include a process that includes establishing a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection between a client device and a server to form a virtual private network (VPN), permitting communication between the client device and the server on the TCP connection, monitoring, via the VPN server, communication over the TCP connection to identify one or more connection parameters, establishing a second connection between the client device and the server when the one or more connection parameters indicate a slowing of the TCP connection below a threshold and below a previously measured connection rate, receiving, via the TCP connection, application data used by one of the applications operating on the client device, and receiving, via the second connection, application data used by another application of the applications.

  • Patent number: 11941599
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable a processor to automatically detect anomalous user-specified data by receiving an electronic activity verification associated with an electronic activity of a user account, including a value associated with an electronic activity, and a user-specified value indicative of an additional value specified by a user for the electronic activity. The processor generates a feature vector including the verified value and the user-specified value and utilizes an anomalous attribute classification model to ingest the feature vector to determine an anomaly classification based on learned model parameters. The processor generates a dispute graphical user interface (GUI) including an alert message and a dispute interface element, that upon a user interaction causes an electronic request to dispute the electronic activity verification to prevent an execution of the electronic activity.

  • Patent number: 11935067
    Abstract: A system including: one or more processors; a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors are configured to cause the system to receive primary and secondary user account data. The system generates one or more predictive model systems based on the primary and secondary user account data. The system receives a first input from the primary user corresponding to a first spending limitation for the secondary user. The system identifies a first transaction of the secondary user exceeding the spending limitation and determines using the one or more predictive model systems whether to authorize a spending limitation override. The system automatically authorizes the spending limitation override when the first transaction exceeds the spending limitation by less than a predetermined threshold. The system can also identify and automatically fund recurring transactions with an associated funding account using the one or more predictive model systems.

  • Patent number: 11922502
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, and computer readable storage media are described and disclosed. An example method includes depicting a strategy node in a graphical user interface presented by a computing device. The strategy node represents a trading strategy associated with two or more tradeable objects. The example method includes generating a graphical connector between the strategy node and one of a plurality of contract nodes including at least a first contract node and a second contract node. Each contract node represents a contract associated with one of the tradeable objects. The example method includes repositioning, in response to an input received via the graphical interface, an endpoint of the graphical connector from the first contract node specified by the trading strategy to the second contract node. The example method also includes generating an updated trading strategy based on the trading strategy and the second contract node.
