  • Patent number: 12041530
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a User Equipment (UE) over a wireless network slice. In the wireless communication network, a source wireless access node wirelessly broadcasts information that indicates supporting wireless access nodes that serve the wireless network slice. The broadcast information may comprise a System Information Block (SIB) 1. The UE wirelessly receives the information from the source wireless access node. When the source wireless access node does not comprise one of the supporting wireless access nodes, the UE re-selects one of the supporting wireless access nodes, wirelessly attaches to the selected-supporting wireless access node, and wirelessly exchanges user data for the wireless network slice with the selected-supporting wireless access node. The selected-supporting wireless access node wirelessly exchanges the user data with the UE and exchanges the user data with the wireless network slice.

  • Patent number: 12041146
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to allow efficient delivery of content through a content delivery network (CDN) without taxing an origin server while maintaining fine grained location based access control. Requests to a CDN are augmented with quantized and non-quantized versions of location information. A CDN can use quantized location information in a URI to identify and return content if content corresponding to the URI is available in cache. If the content is not available in cache, the CDN can contact an origin server to obtain a result for the request using non-quantized location information. The origin server examines the non-quantized location information to determine whether to respond to the client request with content. The origin server examines the area corresponding to the quantized location information to determine whether the content should be cached at the CDN.

  • Patent number: 12035353
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive multiple requests for sidelink channel state information (CSI) and each request for sidelink CSI may trigger a different sidelink CSI report from the UE. The UE may assign a number of CSI processing units (CPUs) to each triggered sidelink CSI report and may select one or more of the triggered sidelink CSI reports for generation in accordance with a CPU capability of the UE and according to a priority associated with each of the requests. For example, the UE may select the one or more CSI reports in an order according to the priority and such that a summation of the CPUs assigned to each of the selected CSI reports avoids exceeding the CPU capability of the UE. The UE may generate and transmit the selected CSI reports.

  • Patent number: 12021744
    Abstract: Systems and methods for routing traffic through a network along Label-Switched Paths (LSPs) that may extend across multiple autonomous systems include performing Internet Protocol (IP) routing lookups as a packet is transmitted along the LSP. In one implementation, a packet having a predetermined value (which may be inserted by an upstream network device) is received at a network device after travelling along a first segment of an LSP. In response to identifying the predetermined label value of the packet, the network device may perform an IP routing lookup using IP routing information included in the packet to identify a next hop for the packet. The network device may then update a label of the packet such that the packet is routed along a second segment of the LSP and transmit the communication packet to the next hop.
