  • Patent number: 11956134
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a multi-link receiving method and a multi-link receiver. The method includes the following. A reference delay range of a j-th data section is determined according to a preset delay time and a receiving time point of the j-th data section of an i-th data frame. In response to determining that the j-th data section is first received among an N number of data sections of the i-th data frame, the reference delay range of the j-th data section is taken as a designated delay range. In response to determining that receiving time points of the data sections of the i-th data frame are each within the designated delay range, the i-th data frame is restored based on the N number of data sections of the i-th data frame.

  • Patent number: 11956136
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively generating a telemetry report to calculate a flow or bit rate are disclosed. The methods include calculating a hash value of a packet, using it as a key to query a bloom filter, and obtaining a packet count. If the packet count reaches a trigger value, a telemetry report is generated and sent, along with the ingress timestamp, hash value, and the packet count, to the collector for calculating the flow rate (or bit rate). The collector compares the packet count and ingress timestamp of the packet of the first telemetry report with a second telemetry report, both reports being generated at various trigger values, and calculates the flow rate. If a hash collision is detected, the calculations are voided and an update to the hash function is suggested.

  • Patent number: 11943773
    Abstract: In New Radio, NR, when a SR PUCCH resource to which a triggered SR is mapped overlaps with a PUCCH carrying UCI, such as HARQ-ACK and/or CSI, an indication of the corresponding schedulingRequestID, which determines the logical channel ID with new data, is directly encoded in the UCI. That is, rather than directly transmit the relevant SR PUCCH resource(s), which indirectly identifies the SR ID, an indication of the SR ID is directly transmitted on the PUCCH transmission. The encoding of an indication of SR ID may comprise adding bits to UCI to be transmitted, for PUCCH formats 2, 3, or 4. For PUCCH format 0, encoding the indication of SR ID comprises adding an initial cyclic offset indicating the triggered SR.

  • Patent number: 11916713
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device, such as, a base station and a UE may support transmitting and receiving information bits according to one or more index modulation schemes. For example, the communication device may support conveying information bits using a reference signal index modulation scheme, which uses reference signals transmissions using particular resources or reference signal sequences, or both, to convey the information bits. The communication device may improve reference signal resource usage by supporting a multi-mode reference signal index modulation scheme, which utilizes all reference signal resources to convey the information bits. By using the multi-mode reference signal index modulation scheme, the communication device may, as a result, include features for improvements to conveying information bits, among other benefits.

  • Patent number: 11902184
    Abstract: PCIe devices installed in host computers communicating with service nodes can provide virtualized NVMe over fabric services. A workload on the host computer can submit an SQE on a NVMe SQ. The PCI device can read the SQE to obtain a command identifier, an OpCode, and a namespace identifier (NSID). The SQE can be used to produce a LTP packet that includes the opcode, the NSID, and a request identifier. The LTP packet can be sent to the service node, which may access a SAN in accordance with the opcode and NSID, and can respond to the LTP with a second LTP that includes the request identifier and a status indicator. The PCI device can use the status indicator and the request identifier to produce a CQE that is placed on a NVMe CQ associated with the SQ.
