  • Patent number: 11930451
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling indicating a set of connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) configurations. The set of C-DRX configurations may include a first C-DRX configuration and a second C-DRX configuration, where at least one C-DRX configuration in the set of C-DRX configurations is a UE-group common C-DRX configuration. The set of C-DRX configurations may correspond to a discontinuous transmission (DTX) cycle of the base station. The UE may select a C-DRX configuration from the set of C-DRX configurations based on receiving the control signaling from the base station. Accordingly, the UE may use the selected C-DRX configuration to communicate with the base station. The selected C-DRX configuration may enable the base station to operate with reduced power consumption and higher DTX efficiency, among other benefits.

  • Patent number: 11929933
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for streaming data between a user device and a remote computing environment via a “switchboard” service that enables interaction without the user device or the remote computing environment establishing additional connections. A first routing device receives a connection from a user device that requests routing a data stream to or from a remote computing environment. The first routing device processes the request by generating a token, which is passed to the remote computing environment along with the request. The remote computing environment passes the token to a second routing device, which decodes the routing token to identify the first routing device. The second routing device then passes the request token to the first routing device, which responds by establishing a route for streaming data between the connection made with the user device and the remote computing environment via the routing devices.

  • Patent number: 11924910
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling for communications in a wireless communications system. The control signaling may indicate a first duration for an inactivity timer. The UE may initiate the inactivity timer and a second timer based on identifying a period of inactivity. The second timer may have a second duration that is shorter than the first duration for the inactivity timer. In some examples, the second duration may be based on one or more parameters, such as a display status, a battery status, a scaling factor, the first duration, an application state, or any combination thereof. The UE may release a connection for the communications in the wireless communications system based on an expiration of the second timer, an expiration of the inactivity timer, or a combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 11917473
    Abstract: A modem for a non-standalone network includes a 5G-NR modem and an E-UTRA modem. The 5G-NR modem includes a cell search module which determines first timing information. The first timing information includes first times indicative of the times of receipt of one or more first radio frames from a first 5G-NR base station measured relative to a network time. The 5G-NR modem also provides for the sending of system frame timing difference (SFTD) information for the first base station to a network controller by sending the first timing information to the E-UTRA modem. The E-UTRA modem then determines and forwards the SFTD information using the first timing information and second timing information. The second timing information is determined by the E-UTRA modem and includes second times indicative of the times of receipt of one or more second radio frames from a second E-UTRA base station.

  • Patent number: 11902050
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel network architecture for providing edge services of a virtual private cloud (VPC) at host computers hosting machines of the VPC. The host computers in the novel network architecture are reachable from external networks through a gateway router of an availability zone (AZ). The gateway router receives a data message from the external network addressed to one or more data compute nodes (DCNs) in the VPC and forwards the data message to a particular host computer identified as providing a distributed edge service for the VPC. The particular host computer, upon receiving the forwarded data message, performs the distributed edge service and provides the serviced data message to a destination DCN.

  • Patent number: 11902169
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for latency evaluation and management resolution are provided. A fingerprint for traffic flow over a communication network from an application executing on a device to a multi-access edge (MEC) server instance hosted by a MEC platform may be identified. The fingerprint may be used to track the traffic flow between the application and the MEC server in order to measure round trip time latencies of the traffic flow. In response to a round trip time latency violating a latency management policy, segment latencies along segments of a communication travel path of the traffic flow from the device to the MEC platform may be measured. A management resolution function may be performed based upon one or more of the segment latencies exceeding a threshold.
