  • Patent number: 11463557
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a serial network de-multiplexes a stream of traffic in the serial network into a plurality of data streams. The device determines that data from a particular data stream should be reported to an entity external to the serial network based on an event indicated by the data from the particular data stream. The device quantizes the data from the particular data stream. The device applies compression to the quantized data to form a compressed representation of the particular data stream. The applied compression is selected based on a data type associated with the data. The device sends a compressed representation of the particular data stream to the external entity as Internet Protocol (IP) traffic.

  • Patent number: 11463555
    Abstract: A proxy slave in a first LIN partition receives data from a proxy master in the second LIN partition which in turn receives the data from a slave in the second LIN partition. The proxy slave stores the data in a data structure and receives a read request from an originating master in the first LIN partition after the data is stored. The read request comprises a LIN message identifier subscribed to by the slave in the second LIN partition. The proxy slave accesses the data stored in the data structure based on the LIN message identifier in the read request; and sends a LIN response to the originating master with the stored data from the slave in the second LIN partition.

  • Patent number: 11398919
    Abstract: A method for detecting network subscribers in an automation network by query telegrams provides that a protocol-network subscriber enters network-subscriber information into a query telegram and sends the query telegram to a subsequent network subscriber. If no subsequent network subscriber is connected to a data line, other than the receiving data line, it sends the query telegram back to the configuration subscriber. A network distributor enters port information on the further input/output ports of the network distributor, to which further data lines are connected into the query telegram, and returns it to the configuration subscriber. The configuration subscriber subsequently generates further query telegrams, each with routing information on the basis of the port information, and sends them to the network distributor.

  • Patent number: 11343037
    Abstract: A base station may transmit a quasi-collocation (QCL) relationship indication to a user equipment (UE) that indicates different QCL groups (e.g., QCL relationships corresponding to different port groups). The QCL relationship indication may include a tuple of transmission configuration indication (TCI)-states, TCI-states configured with TCI-state-sets, or multiple TCI-states indicated via an extended media access control (MAC) control element (CE). The QCL relationship indication may indicate a QCL relationship between one or more port groups of a first reference signal set and a plurality of port groups associated with a target reference signal. For example, the QCL relationship indication may indicate two QCL groups, where each QCL group includes a QCL relationship between a reference signal resource and a port group associated with a target reference signal. Using QCL group information, the UE may perform channel estimation for demodulating target reference signals, using the QCL antenna port group.
