  • Patent number: 11456972
    Abstract: Logic may store at least a portion of an incoming packet at a memory location in a host device in response to a communication from the host device. Logic may compare the incoming packet to a digest in an entry of a primary array. When the incoming packet matches the digest, logic may retrieve a full entry from the secondary array and compare the full entry with the first incoming packet. When the full entry matches the first incoming packet, logic may store at least a portion of the first incoming packet at the memory location. And, in the absence of a match between the first incoming packet and the digest or full entry, logic may compare the first incoming packet to subsequent entries in the primary array to identify a full entry in the secondary array that matches the first incoming packet.

  • Patent number: 11457503
    Abstract: A centralized RAN architecture that includes lower layer transmission nodes (referred to as distributed units (DUs) herein) that connect to an upper layer RAN node (referred to as a centralized unit (CU) herein). A centralized RAN architecture may include a functional split, between the CU and DU, corresponding to the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) and Radio Link Control (RLC) layers. In one embodiment, a CU may store copies of downlink PDCP PDUs that are transmitted to a first DU. The CU may retransmit, to a second DU, those of the PDCP PDUs which were previously transmitted to the source DU but have not been acknowledged as successfully delivered by the source DU.

  • Patent number: 11451338
    Abstract: The present invention is designed to control retransmission properly in smaller units than TBs (for example, in units of CBs or in units of CBGs). According to one example of the present invention, a user terminal has a receiving section that receives a transport block (TB) including one or more codeblock groups (CBG), a transmission section that transmits retransmission control information that indicates an ACK or a NACK in response to each CBG, and a control section that, when at least one CBG in the TB is subject to retransmission, determines the number of bits of the retransmission control information based on the total number of CBGs in the TB or the number of CBGs that are retransmitted.

  • Patent number: 11445421
    Abstract: A wireless communication network to serve a wireless User Equipment (UE) with a wireless communication service over multiple wireless communication links. The wireless communication network comprises a primary access node, a first support access node, and a second support access node. The primary access node receives signal metrics for the support access nodes from the wireless UE, determines add thresholds for the support access nodes based on the amount of active UEs served by the primary access node, and converts the signal metrics for the support access nodes into add values for the support access nodes. When the add values are greater than the add thresholds, the primary access node signals the corresponding ones of the support access nodes to serve the wireless UE. The corresponding ones of the support access nodes exchange user data with the wireless UE.

  • Patent number: 11445519
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling wireless service of a user equipment device (UE) by an access node. The access node serves the UE with uplink carrier-aggregation over a connection encompassing multiple uplink channels including a primary uplink channel (uplink PCell) and a secondary uplink channel (uplink SCell). Further, the access node dynamically sets a channel-quality threshold applicable to control when to deconfigure the uplink SCell from service of the UE, with the dynamically setting of the channel-quality threshold including setting the channel-quality threshold to a value selected based on one or more operational circumstances of the UE, such as whether the UE is engaged in uplink heavy or rather uplink light communication. And the access node applies the dynamically set channel-quality threshold to control when to deconfigure the uplink SCell from service of the UE.

  • Patent number: 11405864
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE) may wake up from a sleep mode of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle based on receipt of uplink data. The UE may determine if an elapsed time between a prior receipt of one or more reference signals and an uplink transmission to the base station after waking up from the sleep mode is less than a threshold time value. If the elapsed time is less than the threshold time value, the UE may transmit an uplink transmission associated with the received uplink data prior to receiving one or more reference signals that may be used to update transmission parameters for uplink transmissions. If the elapsed time is at or above the threshold value, the UE may wait to receive the one or more reference signals and update the transmission parameters prior to the uplink transmission.

A device intermediary between a client and a server may determine that a length of time to move existing data maintained in a queue from the queue exceeds a predefined threshold. The device may identify, responsive to the determination, a first quantity of the existing data to undergo compression, and a second quantity of the existing data according to a compression ratio of the compression. The device may reserve, according to the second quantity, a first portion of the queue that maintained the first quantity of the existing data, to place compressed data obtained from applying the compression on the first quantity of the existing. The device may place incoming data into the queue beyond the reserved first portion of the queue.

  • Patent number: 11395175
    Abstract: A method for data packet processing in a data radio bearer (DRB) remapping process includes: in a data transmission process of a target data stream, when it is detected that a DRB remapping event occurs, stopping delivering data packets of the target data stream to an original DRB, and delivering data packets of the target data stream that are not delivered to the original DRB to a target DRB; and when it is detected that data packets of the target data stream that are delivered to the original DRB are completely sent, if the original DRB is configured to operate in a non-transmission feedback determination mode, sending to a receiving terminal a completion indication message for predetermined times by means of the original DRB. A problem that the receiving terminal cannot further deliver a received data packet and thus a data packet delivery process will be indefinitely delayed can therefore be overcome.

  • Patent number: 11395188
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting the presence of a Bluetooth or Zigbee signal within a short period of time is disclosed. The signal identification circuit has two stages, a first stage that processes windows to determine whether noise is present, and a second stage that processes long windows to determine whether the signal is a particular lower-power network protocol. The signal identification circuit can be configured to detect Bluetooth at 1 Mbps, Bluetooth at 2 Mbps or Zigbee. The signal identification signal may be used to allow a lower-power network controller to coexist with a high duty cycle WiFi controller. The signal identification circuit may also be used for other functions, such as powering on a lower-power network controller, determining CCA, or determining which channel a packet is being transmitted on.

  • Patent number: 11394640
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for performing deep packet inspection (DPI) for an SD-WAN (software defined, wide area network) established for an entity by a plurality of edge nodes and a set of one or more cloud gateways. At a particular edge node, the method uses local and remote deep packet inspectors to perform DPI for a packet flow. Specifically, the method initially uses the local deep packet inspector to perform a first DPI operation on a set of packets of a first packet flow to generate a set of DPI parameters for the first packet flow. The method then forwards a copy of the set of packets to the remote deep packet inspector to perform a second DPI operation to generate a second set of DPI parameters. In some embodiments, the remote deep packet inspector is accessible by a controller cluster that configures the edge nodes and the gateways.
