  • Patent number: 10171328
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved methods and devices for managing network congestion. Preferred implementations of the invention allow congestion to be pushed from congestion points in the core of a network to reaction points, which may be edge devices, host devices or components thereof. Preferably, rate limiters shape individual flows of the reaction points that are causing congestion. Parameters of these rate limiters are preferably tuned based on feedback from congestion points, e.g., in the form of backward congestion notification (“BCN”) messages. In some implementations, such BCN messages include congestion change information and at least one instantaneous measure of congestion. The instantaneous measure(s) of congestion may be relative to a threshold of a particular queue and/or relative to a threshold of a buffer that includes a plurality of queues.

  • Patent number: 10158446
    Abstract: In a multi-carrier cellular system, a second synchronization code (a Walsh code or a GCL series code) mapped on a second synchronization channel is used as a signal for specifying in which cell of the base station a mobile station terminal device itself is. A signal transmitted from the base station to the mobile station terminal device is mapped in a radio frame having two-dimensional extension in frequency and time directions. When mapping a certain series number of the second code for specifying a cell or a cell group on the radio frame as the second synchronization channel, phase rotation or circular shift in which one radio frame is one cycle is applied to the second synchronization code. On the receiving side, the head timing of the radio frame is known by knowing the phase rotation angle or the amount of circular shift of the second synchronization code.

  • Patent number: 10044593
    Abstract: A system is provided for controlling the flow of data-packet traffic through an Ethernet telecommunications network having a multiplicity of nodes interconnected by multiple network links. Incoming data-packet traffic from multiple customer connections are received at a first node for entry into the network via the first node. Flow control messages are generated to represent the states of the first node and, optionally, one or more network nodes upstream from the first node, and these states are used as factors in controlling the rate at which the incoming packets are admitted to the network. Alternatively, the flow control messages may be used to control the rate at which packets generated by a client application are transmitted to the first node.

  • Patent number: 10043480
    Abstract: A source device communicates multimedia data to a sink device over a multimedia channel of a multimedia link. The source device comprises an interface to a full duplex control channel of the multimedia link. The source device also comprises first arbitration logic to control transfer of control data with the sink device via the full duplex control channel. The first arbitration logic ignores requests to receive inbound control data from the sink device while the source device is transmitting outbound control data to the sink device. The sink device, on the other hand, comprises second arbitration logic to control transfer of control data with the source device via the full duplex control channel. The second arbitration logic stops transmitting outbound control data via the full duplex control channel responsive to receiving a request to receive incoming control data from the source device.

    Abstract: Various examples of the present disclosure describe a method for configuring a quiet period in a CR system and a device thereof. The method includes: determining, by a base station, a maximum value of a quiet period parameter of a CR system based on maximum duration of interference which a radio authorization system tolerates and maximum loss of capacity which the CR system tolerates; determining a sensing algorithm based on a detecting performance requirement and the maximum value of the quiet period parameter; determining a value of the quiet period parameter based on the sensing algorithm; and sending the quiet period parameter to a terminal of the CR system. When the examples of the present disclosure are employed, the rationality of the configuration of the quiet period parameter of the CR system is improved and the capacity loss of the CR system is reduced when the interference to the authorization system is reduced.
