  • Patent number: 11616858
    Abstract: Aspects of present disclosure include devices within a transmission path of streamed content forwarding received data packets of the stream to the next device or “hop” in the path prior to buffering the data packet at the device. In this method, typical buffering of the data stream may therefore occur at the destination device for presentation at a consuming device, while the devices along the transmission path may transmit a received packet before buffering. Further, devices along the path may also buffer the content stream after forwarding to fill subsequent requests for dropped data packets of the content stream. Also, in response to receiving the request for the content stream, a device may first transmit a portion of the contents of the gateway buffer to the requesting device to fill a respective buffer at the receiving device.

  • Patent number: 11575738
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for avoiding redundant data transfers using delta coding techniques when reliably and opportunistically communicating data to multiple user systems. According to embodiments, user systems track received block sequences for locally stored content blocks. An intermediate server intercepts content requests between user systems and target hosts, and deterministically chucks and fingerprints content data received in response to those requests. A fingerprint of a received content block is communicated to the requesting user system, and the user system determines based on the fingerprint whether the corresponding content block matches a content block that is already locally stored. If so, the user system returns a set of fingerprints representing a sequence of next content blocks that were previously stored after the matching content block.

  • Patent number: 11558851
    Abstract: A donor communication station transmits a unicast transmission comprising a plurality of device data sets where each device data set directed to each of a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices. A relay node receives the unicast transmission and retransmits the data sets in a broadcast transmission over a broadcast communication channel to the plurality of UE devices. In one example, the donor communication station encodes data for multiple user equipment (UE) devices by applying broadcast encoding to the data for each device before applying outer encoding to the data. The dual encoded data is transmitted to the relay node over a dedicated channel. The relay node applies outer decoding to the dual encoded data to retrieve the broadcast encoded data. The relay node then transmits the broadcast encoded device data in a broadcast transmission without outer encoding.

  • Patent number: 11553443
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a device, such as a user equipment (UE), may report power headroom measurements. To support accurate and reliable power headroom reports (PHRs), the UE may receive a first downlink control information (DCI) transmission for a first cell and determine whether a second DCI transmission for a second cell is received. The UE may generate the PHR based on whether a second DCI transmission was received after the first DCI transmission and may transmit the PHR including power headroom values for both cells. The UE may determine whether to perform an actual or virtual power headroom calculation for the second cell based on when the second DCI was received. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may determine whether to drop resources scheduled by the first or second DCI and may transmit the PHR in the remaining resources.
