  • Patent number: 11570100
    Abstract: The present specification discloses a data processing method, apparatus, medium and device. The method includes: receiving a QUIC data packet that is sent by a first device and that includes a CID; parsing the CID and determining a routing address based on a parsing result; and routing the received QUIC data packet to a second device based on the routing address, so the second device processes the QUIC data packet. When a data packet sent by a transmitting end device is received, a routing address of data transmission is determined by processing the received data packet, to quickly establish a data transmission channel between the transmitting end device and a receiving end device. As such, stored context information is not required, and connection errors caused by exceptions such as restarting and scaling in/out on a load balancer will not occur, thereby effectively improving processing efficiency of data transmission by using the QUIC protocol.

  • Patent number: 11394487
    Abstract: An adaptive receiver system for UEs using NOMA. For example, a network node (e.g, an access point, such as a base station) obtains a first set of data points for a first decoding scheme, each data point included in the first set of data points identifying a maximum achievable rate for the first UE and a maximum achievable rate for the second UE. The network node uses the first set of data points, a first rate demand for a first UE, and a second rate demand for a second UE to determine a decoding scheme for decoding a message transmitted by one of the first UE and a transmission point of the network node.
