  • Patent number: 11876653
    Abstract: An equalization method has been developed for low latency, low bandwidth wireless communication channel environments. With this method, an exact copy, nearly exact copy, or some facsimile of a message (or associated information), which was transmitted via a low latency, low bandwidth wireless communication channel, is also sent via a backend communication channel such as a fiber optic network. Equalization is generally performed by comparing the originally received message to the copy sent via the backend channel. The original message can incorporate an added channel delay to compensate for the time delay between the primary wireless channel and the backend channel.

  • Patent number: 11871248
    Abstract: A communication network includes nodes communicating over a current generation network, such as 5G and some, or all of the nodes are also capable of communicating over a previous generation network, such as 4G for instance. A third node receives a first signal from a first node over the current generation network, a second signal that is a retransmission of the first signal from a second node over the current generation network, and network dimensional parameters from the first node and/or the second node over the previous generation network. The network dimensional parameters enable the third node to determine precise locations of the first node and the second node. Using a function of the network dimensional parameters, the third node correlates the first signal and the second signal to generate a simplified signal therefrom. A secondary wireless mesh acts as an overlay control plane via a non-shared non-virtualized external controller.

  • Patent number: 11811784
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing integrity verified paths using only integrity validated pods of nodes. A network service mesh (NSM) associated with a first pod may locally generate a nonce and provide the nonce to the first pod, where the request includes a request for an attestation token. Using the nonce, the first pod may generate the attestation token and reply back to the NSM. The NSM may generate a second request for an attestation token and forward it to a NSE pod, where the request includes a second locally generated nonce generated by the NSM. The NSE pod may generate the second attestation token using the second nonce and reply back to the NSM. The NSM may then have the attestation tokens verified or validated by a certificate authority (CA) server. The NSM may thus instantiate an integrity verified path between the first pod and the NSE pod.

  • Patent number: 11811837
    Abstract: This invention concerns the transmitting and receiving of digital media packets, such as audio and video channels and lighting instructions. In particular, the invention concerns the transmitting and receiving of redundant media packet streams. Samples are extracted from a first and second media packet stream. The extracted samples are written to a buffer based on the output time of each sample. Extracted samples having the same output in time are written to the same location in the buffer. Both media packet streams are simply processed all the way to the bugger without any particular knowledge that one of the packet streams is actually redundant. This simplifies the management of the redundant packet streams, such as eliminating the need for a “fail-over” switch and the concept of an “active stream”, the location is the storage space allocated to store one sample.

  • Patent number: 11805078
    Abstract: A first ingress interface on a switch receives a first control packet for establishing a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) session and selects a first engine running on a first line card in the switch. A second ingress interface receives a second control packet and selects the same first engine. Data associated with the TCP session received by the first or second ingress interface subsequent to establishing the TCP session is to be forwarded to the first engine. The first ingress interface receives a third control packet and sends, to the selected first engine, a notification indicating the TCP session which is to be tracked. The first or second ingress interface receives a fourth packet with a payload associated with the TCP session and forwards, to the selected first engine, a copy of the fourth packet, thereby facilitating a plurality of engine instances to support application identification.
