  • Patent number: 10530641
    Abstract: Systems and methods for allowing continuous network traffic processing by an SDN appliance despite a lost or disrupted connection with an SDN controller are provided. According to one embodiment, a software-defined networking (SDN) appliance receives one or more policies/flows from an SDN controller. The policies/flows are locally stored by the SDN appliance within the SDN appliance. Responsive to receipt of a packet to be processed by the SDN appliance, the SDN appliance queries the SDN controller for an appropriate policy or flow for the packet. When a response to the query is not received from the SDN controller within a predefined or configurable timeout period, the SDN appliance processes the packet based on the locally stored one or more policies/flows.

  • Patent number: 10523588
    Abstract: A technique for processing messages in a message-based communication scenario is described. In the communication scenario, messages are received from an input message stream, multiplied and forwarded to multiple message consumers, and persisted together with at least one of a time stamp and a message identifier in a persistent storage for later replay to the message consumers. A method aspect of this technique comprises detecting a replay triggering event associated with a message consumer. The method aspect further comprises, in response to detecting the replay triggering event, creating a replay function for the message consumer. The replay function is configured to receive persisted messages from the persistent storage and to send the persisted messages to the message consumer.

  • Patent number: 10477016
    Abstract: An incoming communication (e.g., a voice call, a data call) can be routed to a wireless devices or a wireline device, based in part on a routing preference and a presence condition of a mobile device in a confined wireless environment served by a confined-coverage access point (AP). The routing preference can be subscriber-specific and configurable by the subscriber linked to the mobile device, whereas the presence condition reveals whether the mobile device is attached to the confined-coverage AP and is automatically detected. A routing server acquires the routing preference and the presence condition for the mobile device. Based on routing logic applied to the routing preference and the presence information, the routing server directs the incoming communication to a set of wireline devices, a set of wireless devices, or a combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 10405208
    Abstract: Network traffic data associated with computer applications is collected based on static policies. First network parameter vectors are generated over a time period. Each network parameter vector of the first network parameter vectors comprises first optimal values, estimated by a Bayesian learning module using a generative model, for network parameters. Second network parameter vectors are generated over the same time period. Each network parameter vector of the second network parameter vectors comprises second optimal values, computed by a best parameter generator through optimizing an objective function, for the network parameters. It is determined whether the first network parameter vectors converge to the second network parameter vectors and whether network parameter optimization for the network parameters is performing normally.

  • Patent number: 10397912
    Abstract: Provided are a method and a device for reducing a transmission resource of a control channel in a short TTI in a wireless communication system. Specifically, a plurality of first downlink channels which are received during an sTTI and are included in a subframe corresponding to one TTI, and a second downlink channel received during a TTI are received. Further, information on a resource block used for the plurality of first downlink channels is obtained by using a resource block indicator transmitted to a downlink control channel of a control region comprising the first symbol of a subframe. The plurality of first downlink channels are demodulated by using the information, and the second downlink channel is demodulated by using the downlink control channel.
