Abstract: A network device includes a statelet storage storing statelets that retain state information associated with a packet flow through the network device and that the network device can interact with to control processing performed on packets of the data flow. The network device implements a set of instructions that interpret commands in the data packets to manage and interact with statelets. The statelets in the statelet storage are organized by a statelet key that is derived from information identifying the packet flow. Responsive to the commands in the packets, the network device can create, read, write, or delete statelets from the statelet storage. The statelet storage includes multiple statelets each statelet including multiple fields. The network device may access the statelets to control/monitor a packet flow using information in a network data plane without receiving control information from a network control plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for managing push notifications on a user device. The push notifications may be sent only upon checking/identifying if the user device (associated smart extension) is within a predetermined vicinity of a home gateway network by checking whether respective MAC address entry of the user device is in ARP tables and is in active state, based on which push notifications may be triggered to the user device, wherein the MAC address may be computed and stored by the system. Alternatively, the system may determine if the user device is reachable or not by using IP address (such as ping protocol and other such methods). This facilitates a consistent, power saving along with better reliability of network-based calls or Push notifications, an enhanced user experience and other advantages by sending the push notifications only when the device is connected to home gateway network.

Abstract: An immersive content presentation system can capture the motion or position of a performer in a real-world environment. A game engine can be modified to receive the position or motion of the performer and identify predetermined gestures or positions that can be used to trigger actions in a 3-D virtual environment, such as generating a digital effect, transitioning virtual assets through an animation graph, adding new objects, and so forth. The use of the 3-D environment can be rendered and composited views can be generated. Information for constructing the composited views can be streamed to numerous display devices in many different physical locations using a customized communication protocol. Multiple real-world performers can interact with virtual objects through the game engine in a shared mixed-reality experience.

Abstract: There is provided a method for handling a service request. The method is performed by a first service communication proxy (SCP) node. In response to receiving a first request from a first Network Function (NF) node for a further NF node to provide a first service, the first SCP node selects (102) a second NF node to provide the first service and stores (104) an identifier of the second NF node. The first SCP node also initiates transmission (106) towards the second NF node of the first request. In response to receiving, from the second NF node, a first response, the first SCP node stores (108) location information of the second NF node. The location information of the second NF node is stored in association with the identifier of the second NF node. The first SCP node also initiates transmission (110) of the first response towards the first NF node.
