  • Patent number: 11563465
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a codeblock segmentation configuration system. A base station can configure the segmentation rate or segment size, which can control the number of codeblock segments a transport block is segmented into, based on the transmission reliability and predicted interference to a mobile device. An increased number of segments can improve throughput and efficiency when interference is low and signal to noise ratios are high, but can increase latency when interference is high and signal to noise is low. The base station can determine or predict transmission reliability based on the speed of mobile devices, the location and/or distance to the mobile device, as well as the long term signal to noise ratios.

  • Patent number: 11552776
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a hybrid physical layer that supports data communications using both Ethernet and ASA. Ethernet and ASA are communication standards that are commonly used in automotive environments; however, are not interoperable. The hybrid physical layer supports data communications using both Ethernet and ASA. For example, the hybrid physical layer may be configured into either a first mode of operation to support data communications using Ethernet or a second mode of operation to support data communications using ASA. Devices utilizing the hybrid physical layer can therefore be used with other components that utilize either communication standard.

  • Patent number: 11553523
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a bandwidth part (BWP) to switch to after identifying consistent uplink listen-before-talk (LBT) failures on a first BWP based on parameters indicated by a base station. For example, the base station may transmit a switching parameter to the UE that the UE then uses to switch to a second BWP based on identifying the consistent uplink LBT failures on the first BWP. Subsequently, after selecting the second BWP, the UE may attempt to use the second BWP for uplink transmissions (e.g., after performing a random access procedure). Additionally, the UE may indicate the consistent uplink LBT failures to a base station associated with the failed BWP based on a type of cell that is using that failed BWP.

  • Patent number: 11516149
    Abstract: Distributed machine learning systems and other distributed computing systems are improved by compute logic embedded in extension modules coupled directly to network switches. The compute logic performs collective actions, such as reduction operations, on gradients or other compute data processed by the nodes of the system. The reduction operations may include, for instance, summation, averaging, bitwise operations, and so forth. In this manner, the extension modules may take over some or all of the processing of the distributed system during the collective phase. An inline version of the module sits between a switch and the network. Data units carrying compute data are intercepted and processed using the compute logic, while other data units pass through the module transparently to or from the switch. Multiple modules may be connected to the switch, each coupled to a different group of nodes, and sharing intermediate results. A sidecar version is also described.
