  • Patent number: 12621839
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). A user equipment (UE) reports capability information indicating one or more tuples. Each tuple indicates a combination of serving cells configured for per-slot and per-span monitoring that the UE is capable of supporting. An indication is received in response to the capability information. A pair of values is determined based on the indication. A first value is a maximum number of serving cells configured for per-slot monitoring, and a second value is a maximum number of serving cells configured for per-span monitoring. A monitored candidate limit per slot is determined based on the first value. A monitored candidate limit per span is determined based on the second value.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing communication over one or more networks. A monitoring engine may be instantiated to perform actions including receiving network traffic from a physical network that may be associated with network addresses of the physical network. The monitoring engine may analyze the network traffic to associate activity with gateway identifiers (GIDs) associated with gateway computers in an overlay network such that the GIDs are separate from the network addresses. The monitoring engine may be arranged to monitor the network traffic based on monitoring rules. The monitoring engine may provide metrics associated with the gateway computers based on the monitoring of the network traffic. The monitoring engine may compare the metrics to event rules. The monitoring engine may generate events based on affirmative results of the comparison. The events may be mapped to actions based on characteristics of the events and executed.

  • Patent number: 12563533
    Abstract: In a resource allocation method, after determining a BWP allocated to a terminal device, where the BWP includes a first BWP, and determining a first value, a network device sends first indication information to the terminal device, where the first indication information is used to indicate the first value. The terminal device determines the BWP allocated by the network device to the terminal device, where the BWP includes the first BWP, and receives the first indication information from the network device. Then, when the first value is used to indicate a RBG size corresponding to the first BWP, the RBG size corresponding to the first BWP is determined based on the first value. Alternatively, when the first value is used to determine a RIV set corresponding to the first BWP, the RIV set corresponding to the first BWP is determined based on the first value.
