  • Patent number: 11825352
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus circuitry, and storage media are described for mobile-terminated packet transmissions. In one embodiment, an apparatus of a control plane device configured to operate within an evolved packet network core identifies a first service flow event trigger associated with a first packet data unit (PDU) session and processes a path reselection for a first PDU session in response to the first service flow event trigger, wherein the path reselection determines a new gateway for the first PDU session resulting from the path reselection. Transmission of a change notification to an application server controller associated with the first PDU session is initiated in response to the path reselection. Transmission of a routing update to the new gateway in response to the path reselection is also initiated. In various embodiments, the trigger may be a mobility event, a load balancing event, or operations in association with an application server controller.

  • Patent number: 11812487
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, a device, an extender, and a computer medium for automatically restoring connections. In this method, a wireless extender records the number of packets received from an access point within a first predetermined time; the wireless extender compares the recorded number with a predetermined threshold; and in response to determining that the recorded number is smaller than the predetermined threshold, the wireless extender restarts a WiFi module used for WiFi communication in the wireless extender to reestablish a WiFi connection with the access point. By automatically detecting the WiFi connection status and automatically triggering the restart of the WiFi module, it is possible to attempt to restore the WiFi connection without manual intervention, thereby improving the efficiency of network restoration.
