  • Patent number: 11115164
    Abstract: A wireless device receives a radio resource control message comprising an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) subframe parameter. A downlink control information is received. The downlink control information indicates uplink resources in a plurality of scheduled consecutive subframes for transmission of transport blocks by the wireless device and triggers an SRS transmission in a subframe of the plurality of scheduled consecutive subframes. The SRS is transmitted in the subframe. A position of the subframe in the plurality of scheduled consecutive subframes is determined based on the aperiodic SRS subframe parameter.

  • Patent number: 11096111
    Abstract: A system and method of allowing a new device to join an existing network are disclosed. The new device comprises a non-RF-based transmitter, such as a light, a speaker or haptic generator, which emits a sequence that can be received by a facilitator device that is already part of the network. The sequence contains the device specific information associated with the new device. This facilitator device may be a mobile phone, a tablet or other component. The facilitator device then provides this device specific information to the gateway. The gateway then uses this device specific information as it performs a joining process with the new device.

  • Patent number: 11095557
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for overcoming the limitations of a cloud provider network when a data center with software-defined network and multiple hosts, each with multiple virtual machines, operates on the cloud provider network. Single-host aware routers and a multiple-host aware distributed router are combined into a hybrid router in each host. The hybrid router receives a route table from the control plane of the data center and updates the received table based on the locations of VMs, such as edge VMs and management VAs on each of the hosts. An agent in each host also updates a router in the cloud provider network based on the locations of the virtual machines on the hosts. Thus, the hybrid routers maintain local routing information and global routing information for the virtual machines on the hosts in the data center.

  • Patent number: 11082919
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a first network wakeup parameter, where the first network wakeup parameter is used to wake up an application program. The method further includes performing reconfiguration processing on the first network wakeup parameter based on a preset first configuration condition to obtain a second network wakeup parameter. The method further includes configuring a driver of the terminal based on the second network wakeup parameter. The second network wakeup parameter is written into Wi-Fi firmware such that the Wi-Fi firmware directly performs processing without waking up the application program when the first network wakeup parameter is received next time.

  • Patent number: 11057962
    Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to enable User Equipment (UE) to efficiently and reliably report supported band combinations to a wireless network. An enhanced NodeB (eNB) may determine eNB-supported bands combinations for carrier aggregation scenarios, create a simplified representation of the eNB-supported bands combinations (e.g., using a highest order band combination, groups of band combinations, etc.), and communicate the eNB-supported bands combinations to the UE. The UE may determine UE-supported band combinations that are among the eNB-supported bands combinations, create a simplified representation of the UE-supported band combinations, and communicate the eNB-supported bands combinations to the eNB. The eNB may use the UE-supported band combinations to allocate appropriate carriers to the UE for carrier aggregation.

  • Patent number: 11051222
    Abstract: Beamforming techniques can improve base station transmission power and user equipment (UE) sensitivity reception. For example, beamforming can create a narrow beam, which can concentrate signal power in a much smaller region. Combined with base station (gNB) requests and UE location data, an accurate beam can be generated to cover a desired area. 5G base station broadcasts can utilize a globally unique cell identifier (e.g., physical cell identifier), and a locally unique cell identifier (e.g., new radio cell global identifier) to facilitate beamforming and mitigate handover failure.

  • Patent number: 11038803
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting network and container level traffic analysis and correlation are described. An application server may receive network traffic data from a network-level data capture system and receive container-level application traffic data from a container-level data capture system. The application server may then hash the destination addresses, the time stamp information, and the data amount information from the network traffic data to create a first set of hash values and hash the destination addresses, the time stamp information, and the data amount information from the application traffic data to create a second set of hash values. The application server may then identify matching hash values from the first set of hash values and the second set of hash values and then merge into a data queue the corresponding network traffic with metadata associated with the corresponding application traffic data to create a merged data set.

  • Patent number: 11032685
    Abstract: Some services offered by M2M service layers will have contact information that will be used in order to interact with applications. For example, a service layer may need to send notification messages to an application. To do this, the service layer relies on stored contact information to know how to reach the application. If the device hosting the application moves and the application changes its contact information, then the contact information that is in the service layer is stale. As a result, these services will be inefficient, or in some cases, fail altogether. Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods to enable mechanisms to update stale contact information in M2M service layers.
