  • Patent number: 10182385
    Abstract: Provided is a process that includes obtaining a directed acyclic graph describing a plurality wireless connections between a plurality of downstream nodes forming a multi-path route to an Internet connected wireless transceiver; determining an encoding kernel specifying transformations to be performed by the plurality of downstream nodes on data received from upstream nodes; transmitting at least part of the encoding kernel to at least some of the downstream nodes; and transmitting data from a data source to a downstream node in the directed acyclic graph specified by the encoding kernel such that the data is conveyed through the multi-hop, multi-path route to the Internet connected wireless transceiver.

  • Patent number: 10177870
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems of assigning codes are disclosed. One method includes selecting a plurality of available codes, grouping links of a wireless network into a plurality of groups based on connectivity of the links between sectors of the wireless network, characterizing interference between at least one link of a first group of the plurality of groups and at least one link of a second group of the plurality of groups, and assigning at least one code of the plurality of available codes to the first group and at least one other code of the plurality of available codes to the second group based on the characterizing of the interference.

  • Patent number: 10172181
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and systems for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system with technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure is applicable to intelligent services based on 5G communication and IoT-related technologies. A method for configuring a connection by a terminal is provided, which includes receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message from a base station, determining whether semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) and transmission time interval (TTI) bundling are configured based on the RRC message, determining whether dual connectivity is configured, if the SPS and the TTI bundling are configured, determining whether the TTI bundling is configured for master cell group (MCG) and the SPS is configured for secondary cell group (SCG), if the dual connectivity is configured, and configuring an RRC connection based on the RRC message, if the TTI bundling is configured for the MCG and the SPS is configured for the SCG.

  • Patent number: 10159093
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for configuring the utilization of request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) protocol procedures based on varying conditions at the STA. For example, an AP may identify one or more conditions, when satisfied, may trigger the STA to either enable or disable uplink (UL) transmissions associated with a RTS/CTS protocol procedure. In some aspects, an AP may determine a transmit opportunity (TXOP) threshold for an STA and may determine whether to broadcast a message having the TXOP threshold to multiple STAs including the STA or unicast the message to the STA. An STA may receive a message from an AP having a TXOP threshold and may replace, based on an indication in the received message, a current TXOP threshold in the STA with the TXOP threshold in the received message. The STA may transmit an UL RTS frame in response to a determination that a planned TXOP duration satisfies the TXOP threshold.

  • Patent number: 10149314
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, apparatus, and systems related to cascaded trigger frame indication. A device may determine a beacon frame on a communication channel. The device may determine one or more trigger frames based at least in part on the beacon frame, the one or more trigger frames including at least in part a first trigger frame and a second trigger frame. The device may determine a cascade indication associated with the one or more trigger frames. The device may cause to send the beacon frame to one or more devices. The device may cause to send the first trigger frame to the one or more devices based at least in part on the beacon frame.
