  • Patent number: 11812310
    Abstract: Mechanisms for migration of a stateless computation service in a mobile communication network. A method, performed by a control node comprises obtaining, from a core network node in the mobile communication network, information indicative of a need to migrate the stateless computation service from a source compute node in the mobile communication network. The need results from resource utilization at the source compute node is too high, and/or a demand from user equipment for the stateless computation service elsewhere in the mobile communication network. The method comprises initiating migration of the stateless computation service from the source compute node to a target compute node in the mobile communication network for hosting of the stateless computation service at the target compute node.

  • Patent number: 11805011
    Abstract: In one example, a network management system discovers a plurality of network devices behind a network address translation device, such as a firewall. The network management system may receive a model of a seed network device, generate a first activation configuration and commit the first activation configuration on the seed network device. The network management system may connect to the seed network device and discover neighboring devices from information in the seed network device. The network management system may connect to the neighboring devices, automatically create a model of the neighboring network devices, generate s activation configurations for the neighboring network devices and commit the activation configurations on the neighboring network devices. The network management system may iterative perform these steps until it discovers all the discoverable network devices behind the network address translation device.

  • Patent number: 11770824
    Abstract: Herein provided is a method for operating a base station of a cellular network. The base station serves user equipment camping thereon, or connected thereto, and agrees with the user equipment to a periodic dedicated prescheduled uplink transmission schedule. Upon determining that an uplink occasion of that schedule is missed by the user equipment, the user equipment is considered as unavailable for communicating at said uplink occasion in relation with the base station. If it is considered unavailable, it instead maintains a presently active dedicated prescheduled uplink transmission schedule. Otherwise it cancels the presently active dedicated prescheduled uplink transmission schedule. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11765642
    Abstract: Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) includes a first node of a plurality of nodes which self-assigns a role as a part of a network-spanning backbone upon a determination by the first node that one or more criteria have been satisfied. The first node uses the network-spanning backbone to facilitate a first-tier control plane communication service within the MANET. The first node also communicates within the MANET using a second-tier control plane communication service separate from the first-tier control plane communication service. The second-tier control plane communication service is used by the first node when communicating exclusively with neighbor nodes that are a 1-hop distance from the first node.

  • Patent number: 11758466
    Abstract: A facility for operating a first node in a mesh network having other nodes is described. The first node directly receives signals each encoding an identifier of one of the other nodes, at least a portion of the signals also encoding an indication that the node having the identifier has appointed itself a routing node. The facility determines a first value equal to the number of unique node identifiers encoded in signals received during a first period of time, and a second value equal to the number of unique node identifiers encoded by signals received during the first period of time that also encode the indication. The facility determines a routing score for the first node based at least upon the first value and the second value that reflects the first node's suitability as a routing node in the mesh network.

  • Patent number: 11751044
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method to route a call from a roaming UE on a 5G network. The system receives from a UE belonging to a home network an indication of a call to a dialed number. The call requires information associated with the UE that is not available to the first wireless telecommunication network, because the UE is roaming on a visitor network. The indication of the call includes a unique identifier of the visitor network. The system can determine based on the unique identifier that the UE is roaming and send a request to the visitor network to provide instructions on how to route the received call. Upon obtaining the instructions on how to route the received call, the system routes the received call.

  • Patent number: 11743803
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for device routing management are disclosed. A client device of a wireless network may roam from a first access point to a second access point of the wireless network. The second access point, or the client device itself, may send a network message indicating the client device is currently being served by the second access point. The message may cause a network mapping stored at the first access point and/or at each device associated with the wireless network to be updated to indicate the client device is associated with the second access point, thereby enabling proper routing of network traffic to the client device via the second access point.

  • Patent number: 11743714
    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing wireless devices. A service is provided by a first application operating on a publisher device to a second application operating on a subscriber device over a first data path between the two devices in a NAN network. The publisher device includes a first recovery manager to receive an indication from a wireless controller of the publisher device or a distress message from a second recovery manager of the subscriber device. The received indication or distress message indicates that the first data path has been interrupted. The first recovery manager stores, in a memory, data generated by the first application. A second data path is established between the publisher device and the subscriber device. The first recovery manager sends the stored data to the second application that operates on a subscriber device.
