  • Patent number: 11942983
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for managing a bandwidth of a user equipment (UE). The UE has a narrower bandwidth part (NBWP) that follows a NBWP hopping pattern and allows the UE to hop frequency over time within a larger bandwidth. The UE receives a configuration of one or more NBWP hopping patterns for one or more configured NBWPs, each configured NBWP having a bandwidth less than or equal to a maximum configurable bandwidth of a bandwidth part. The UE determines an active NBWP hopping pattern for an active NBWP of the one or more configured NBWPs. The UE communicates on frequency domain resources for a frequency domain hop indicated by the active NBWP hopping pattern applied to the active NBWP. The UE may receive an indication of whether to switch the active NBWP hopping pattern.

  • Patent number: 11936563
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a new networking data path framework that employs one or more dedicated kernel threads to process network traffic on a host computer executing multiple machines (such as virtual machines or containers). This new framework is referred to as an Enhanced Networking Stack (ENS) in this document. In some embodiments, the dedicated kernel threads execute on dedicated CPU cores (e.g., one kernel thread per CPU core) to proactively poll physical NICs (PNICs) of the host computer and virtual NICs (VNICs) of the machines (e.g., VMs), and to perform packet processing operations on packets received by the host and packets transmitted by the machines. In some embodiments, each PNIC or VNIC is associated with one dedicated kernel thread, in order to avoid synchronization issues between the kernel threads.

An uplink trigger sent from the access point to the first station may be received. A map may be transmitted from the first station indicating at least one sub-channel that is available for spatial sharing by a second station. The first station may receive an acknowledgement from the access point that data was transmitted from the second station on the at least one sub-channel and/or received by the at least one access point. An OFDMA transmission having a sub-channel/sub-band available for transmitting data may be determined. An energy in the sub-channel/sub-band may be measured and/or compared to a dynamic and/or static threshold. Whether a sub-channel/sub-band is free or busy may be determined for example based on if the measured energy is, or is not, greater than the threshold.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for an adaptive and causal random linear network coding (AC-RLNC) with forward error correction (FEC) for a communication channel with delayed feedback. An example methodology implementing the techniques includes transmitting one or more coded packets in a communication channel, determining a channel behavior of the channel, and adaptively adjusting a transmission of a subsequent coded packet in the first channel based on the determined channel behavior. The communication channel may be a point-to-point communication channel between a sender and a receiver. The channel behavior may be determined based on feedback acknowledgements provided by the receiver. The subsequent coded packet may be a random linear combination of one or more information packets.
