  • Patent number: 11736279
    Abstract: An entangled links mechanism to establish and maintain bipartite temporal intimacy between pairs of computers, using an idempotent, reversible token method which presents no observable external “change” until a communication of information needs to occur between the computers, and which maintains the potential for “bounded (or unbounded) reversibility” in case the intended information dispatched by a source computational entity is not captured or properly accepted by a destination computational entity. The mechanism enables distributed computers in a network to remain continuously aware of each other's presence; to communicate on a logically nearest neighbor basis in a secure and reliable manner in which packets passed over these links do not conflict with normal traffic or cause the available resources of the link to be exceeded; and that atomicity, consistency, isolation, and “reversible durability” may be maintained for transactions when perturbations occur.

  • Patent number: 11683148
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a receiving device for clock frequency synchronization. The method includes the following. A user datagram protocol (UDP) packet is obtained by a receiving device. A value of the data volume of the UDP packet in the cache and a first value are performed, by the receiving device, an operation to obtain the absolute value of the difference between the value of the data volume and the first value. When the absolute value is greater than the preset threshold, a clock frequency of the crystal oscillator in the receiving device is adjusted to obtain a target clock frequency, where after the clock frequency of the crystal oscillator is adjusted, the absolute value of the difference is less than or equal to the preset threshold. The receiving device maintains clock frequency synchronization between the receiving device and the transmitting device based on the target clock frequency.

  • Patent number: 11683717
    Abstract: A transfer management system for efficiently operating an enterprise wireless communication network (EN) at a campus location enables the EN to control congestion, selectively and smoothly admit UEs, and manage UE exits from the EN. An MNO Network (MN) footprint learning system learns the different MN footprints on the campus, relative to the BS/APs deployed by the individual enterprise, which defines a footprint of wireless coverage for each MNO that has wireless coverage. The MN footprint provides useful information that enables successfully transitioning a UE between an EN and an MNO, which provides the EN with the ability to utilize other networks to offload one or more UEs to manage congestion, delay or deny admission of UEs, and proactively exit UEs to manage congestion or for other reasons.
