  • Patent number: 11166137
    Abstract: A method includes determining, by an NFCC of a first NFC device, whether the NFCC is responsible for determining a maximum length value of data packets transmitted in subsequent communication. The method further includes sending a first request comprising a first length value to a second NFC device when the NFCC is responsible for determining the maximum length value. The first request further includes a first DID. The method further includes receiving a first response that is returned by the second NFC device for the first request and that comprises a second DID. The method further includes using the first length value as the maximum length value of the data packets transmitted in the subsequent communication when the first DID is the same as the second DID.

  • Patent number: 11121960
    Abstract: Techniques for managing communications between applications executing in a distributed computing environment are presented. An example method includes detecting, by a first virtual machine, that an application has migrated from a source virtual machine to a destination virtual machine in the distributed computing environment. The first virtual machine identifies a location of the destination virtual machine in the distributed computing environment. Based on the identified location, the first virtual machine generates one or more routing rules for communications between applications executing on the first virtual machine and the migrated application, wherein the one or more routing rules comprise rules that minimize latency and processing overhead for communications with the migrated application in the distributed computing environment.

  • Patent number: 11115170
    Abstract: Techniques and devices are described for wireless communication. A base station may determine a parameter associated with a transmission such as hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback, a signal-to-noise ratio, or a determination regarding whether the transmission was successfully decoded. The base station may then determine a contention window adjustment value based on the parameter. The base station may then apply weighting factor (e.g., based on the time of the transmission, a number of devices being served, aspects of the transmission parameter, etc.) to the contention window adjustment value may adjust a contention window size for a second transmission based on the weighted contention window adjustment value (and, in some cases, other weighted adjustments based on other transmissions). The base station may then perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) based on the contention window size.

  • Patent number: 11051362
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) and a base station (BS) for a mobile communication system are provided. The UE performs a random access (RA) procedure with the BS in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode. The UE transmits a preconfigured uplink resource request message to the BS and receives a configuration message indicating a preconfigured uplink resource from the BS. The UE starts a time alignment timer (TAT) which is used for the RRC idle mode in response to the RA procedure. When the UE determines that there exists an uplink message to be transmitted in the RRC idle mode and determines that the current timing advance (TA) value is valid, the UE transmits the uplink message on the preconfigured uplink resource.
