Abstract: A wireless device receives radio resource control messages including a first bitmap, of frequency allocation of a search space (SS), with each bit indicating whether frequency resources of the SS are mapped to a respective resource block (RB) set of RB sets of a bandwidth part. Based on the first bitmap indicating that the SS is mapped to first RB sets of the RB sets, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is monitored via the SS in the first RB sets. A first downlink control information is received that includes a second bitmap, of RB set indication, with each bit indicating whether a respective RB set, of the RB sets, is available for downlink reception. Based on the first bitmap and based on the second bitmap indicating a second RB set of the first RB sets as being available for downlink reception, the PDCCH is monitored via the SS in the second RB set.

Abstract: A mesh network-on-a-chip (NOC) with heterogenous routers for use with homogenous processing elements. Some of the routers are configured differently from other routers to interface more efficiently with particular physical resources that the processing elements require, such as particular input/output or memory devices. For example, one router is configured for use with the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) protocol, whereas another router is configured for use with the InterLaken communication protocol. Still further, the overall system is configured so that the various physical resources are physically adjacent to the particular router that is designed to access the resource to help ensure fair access by each processing element of the NOC to the particular resources that are required. The NOC may be part of a large manycore system on field programmable gate array (FPGA). The methods and apparatus described herein are generally applicable to all system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs.

Abstract: An enterprise device identity proxy between an SMF and an Enterprise's device profile store supports N7 protocol for enterprise policy delivery between a central management service (CMS) and an enterprise policy service. In particular, when a user equipment (UE) requests a data service, the enterprise device identity proxy receives AAA transactions from the SMF running the enterprise policy service over a secondary authentication interface, stores the results in a data store, and uses business rules set forth by the CMS to transform Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) Attribute Value Pairs (AVPs) into a valid N7 response to the SMF. The enterprise device identity proxy enables an enterprise to treat a device with cellular connectivity using the same rules that would apply to other access/connection types without the complexity and cost of deploying a 3GPP policy service to support N7 protocol for policy delivery.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an access point is configured with a plurality of resource units (RUs). Each RU is configured to use a frequency range that differs from frequency ranges used by the other RUs. The access point determines a pattern of recurring signal performance over time. For each RU of the plurality of RUs, the pattern indicates the recurring signal performance with respect to a station when the station is located in a given physical location. The access point allocates one or more of the RUs for communicating with the station. The pattern is used for avoiding allocation of any of the RUs for which the station is predicted to experience strong multipath fading or other destructive interference.

Abstract: Malformed VLAN packets can be detected by programming suitable rules in a TCAM in the packet processing pipeline. In some deployments, for example, the TCAM rule(s) can match on the parsed EtherType metadata. More specifically, the match can be based on the EtherType metadata being set to a value equal to known VLAN TPIDs, such as 0x8100, 0x88a8, rather than being set to a standard EtherType.

Abstract: One or more bits of the destination MAC address indicate a number of times a reset event has occurred. These bits may be referred to as a generation number. The generation number in a destination MAC address is updated when a reset event occurs. In this way, frames issued by the sender prior to the reset may be distinguished from frames issued after the reset, since the destination MAC addresses in those frames will not match. In this way, the recipient device is protected from stale packets.
