  • Patent number: 11917501
    Abstract: An example system includes a transceiver. The transceiver communicates multicast frames to a plurality of client devices in a multicast group. The system further includes a controller. The controller determines that a predetermined time has passed since the transceiver most recently sent a unicast transmission to one of the plurality of client devices. The controller instructs the transceiver to transmit a unicast frame to the one of the plurality of client devices. The controller computes a data rate for the one of the plurality of client devices based on the transmission of the unicast frame to the one of the plurality of client devices.

  • Patent number: 11895194
    Abstract: Some embodiments establish for an entity a virtual network over several public clouds of several public cloud providers and/or in several regions. In some embodiments, the virtual network is an overlay network that spans across several public clouds to interconnect one or more private networks (e.g., networks within branches, divisions, departments of the entity or their associated datacenters), mobile users, and SaaS (Software as a Service) provider machines, and other web applications of the entity. The virtual network in some embodiments can be configured to optimize the routing of the entity's data messages to their destinations for best end-to-end performance, reliability and security, while trying to minimize the routing of this traffic through the Internet. Also, the virtual network in some embodiments can be configured to optimize the layer 4 processing of the data message flows passing through the network.

  • Patent number: 11882546
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may transmit feedback signaling for received sidelink messages to both the base station and the transmitting UE. The receiving UE may multicast a feedback message to both the base station and the transmitting UE on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or on a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH). The base station may configure the receiving UE with resources, the transmitting UE may allocate resources to the receiving UE, or the base station may actively monitor for the feedback message. In some examples, the receiving UE may operate in a dual connectivity mode, and may transmit the feedback message to both the base station and the transmitting UE on both the PUCCH and the PSFCH.

  • Patent number: 11882200
    Abstract: In a rule based header compression system such as a SCHC compressor/decompressor, a controller is provided which provides “hints” to the header compression processor, so as to direct its behaviour. These hints may define new rules, modify existing rules, set state values against which rules are tested during compression, prioritise rules or exclude rules from consideration to achieve optimum compression. The controller may dynamically generate rules on the basis of learned of detected flow characteristics to achieve optimum compression. The controller may operate as a state machine, which may define states corresponding to different degrees of compression for a given flow or flow type. The system comprises multiple compressors, some or all of which may be remote from the compression processor.

  • Patent number: 11855894
    Abstract: A cloud server includes an equipment information storage that stores equipment table information; an equipment controller that generates control information; an encapsulator that generates control notification information by encapsulating the control information and adding header information for specifying a control device as a sending destination; and a notification information sender that sends the control notification information to the control device based on the header information. Upon acquiring the control notification information from the server, the control device removes the header information from the control notification information and decapsulates to extract the control information, and sends the extracted control information to a controlled equipment.

  • Patent number: 11844003
    Abstract: A layered convergence topology structure for a plurality of sensors is established based on a sensing range and a position relationship of at least one sensor from the sensors. A plurality of pieces of first sensed information, respectively captured through each sensor of the sensors, are divided into at least two first groups based on the layered convergence topology structure. Each piece of first sensed information in respective first group of the at least two first groups is converged to obtain at least two pieces of first converged information. The at least two pieces of first converged information are determined as at least two pieces of second sensed information for convergence to obtain second converged information. When a piece number of the second converged information is one, the second converged information is determined as target converged information.

  • Patent number: 11838109
    Abstract: Time stamp replication within wireless networks is described. In an embodiment, a wireless station receives an input time stamp and uses this input time stamp to generate an output time stamp. The wireless station transmits the output time stamp to wireless stations in one of a number of groups which make up the wireless network. The output time stamp is generated to compensate for delays between receiving the input time stamp and transmitting the output time stamp such that output time stamp which is transmitted at a time T corresponds to the value that the input time stamp would have had if it had been received at time T (and not at a time earlier than T). This may, therefore, reduce or eliminate independent time stamp errors and jitter caused by multiple disparate systems and processes.

  • Patent number: 11792694
    Abstract: When initiating a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) communication session between an originating device (MO) and a terminating device (MT) on a packet-switched network, network components associated with the MO may encounter a failure when preparing resources for the session, such as a failure to establish a dedicated bearer with the MO. This might typically cause the system to abort the session. Instead, the network components are configured to detect the failure and to initiate a handover to a circuit-switched communication network so that the session may be conducted through the circuit-switched communication network. The failure may be detected by a component of a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Radio Access Network (RAN) of the network, by a Mobility Management Entity (MME) of the network, or by some other network component. Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) procedures may be used to implement the handover.
