Abstract: Beam-specific autonomous uplink (AUL) resources may be configured with an associated reference signal for beam management. For example, a base station may configure respective sets of AUL resources that are specific to one or more base station receive beams. These sets of beam-specific AUL resources may be configured to be associated (e.g., quasi co-located (QCL)) with a reference signal, such as a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a synchronization signal burst (SSB), or the like. The base station may periodically transmit the reference signals that are associated with the AUL resources. A user equipment (UE), upon detecting one or more of the reference signals, may identify which set of AUL resources are available for an AUL transmission of uplink data. In such cases, the UE may select a set of AUL resources based on a signal strength of the reference signal associated with that set of AUL resources.

Abstract: In one example, a non-transitory computer readable storage medium may include instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to obtain historical logs associated with a plurality of available paths between a source node and a destination node. The historical logs may be obtained for a first interval by routing data over the available paths based on a first priority order and corresponding network characteristics parameters. Further, non-transitory computer readable storage medium may include instructions to determine a modified first priority order of the available paths and corresponding modified network characteristic parameters by analyzing the historical logs using a machine learning model and route the data from the source node to the destination node based on the modified first priority order.

Abstract: A transmitter device may communicate with a receiver device via one or more data links. Data transmitted over the data links may be conveyed in accordance with a communications protocol that requires a deterministic latency for all data lanes in each of the data links. The receiver device may include a deterministic latency controller configured to store a worst-case latency value acquired upon initial startup and a predetermined link reinitialization latency compensation value. During normal operation, the deterministic latency controller may sum together the worst-case latency value and the predetermined link reinitialization latency compensation value to obtain a total compensated deterministic latency that is applied to all data links for simultaneous data release.

Abstract: A grant may allocate resources for an uplink transmission by a user equipment (UE) in a system using beamforming, where the resources may be used by the UE to transmit data or control information during a time that a base station is listening in a certain receive beam direction. A UE may be in communication with a base station using beamformed transmissions, and the base station may send a resource grant to the UE for uplink transmissions that correspond to a receive beam direction of a beamsweeping operation. The UE may then transmit data and/or uplink control information to the base station according to the resource grant and when the base station is listening in the corresponding direction. In some examples, the UE may send the uplink transmission to the serving base station, and transmit a random access channel to another base station based on the beamsweeping operation.

Abstract: Techniques for improving the ability of FPGAs to process packets by implementing at least portions of the logic of packet parsers traditionally performed using the FPGA fabric as hardened resources, such as an Integrated Circuit (IC) block. The IC block receives bits of an incoming packet, carries these bits as a pipeline, and modifies a range of the bits through stages of aligners. The aligners extract header sections (or “windows”) of each packet header according to a shift amount, and the header sections are output to the FPGA fabric. The FPGA fabric includes extract and decision logic that maps the information included in the extracted header sections to a lookup vector, driving tables, and/or application logic. The FPGA provides shift amounts to subsequent aligners to cause the aligners to shift the packet bus such that previous header sections are removed.

The base station may perform one or more actions associated with changing a state of the UE based on receiving the connection release acknowledgement message.

Abstract: A router device in a subscriber domain receives communications from a communication device. The communications are destined for delivery over a first network operated by a corresponding service provider to a destination in a second network such as the Internet. To convey communications, the router device maps a network address obtained from the first communications to a corresponding marker assigned to the communication device. The router device then tags the communications from the communication device with the corresponding marker and forwards the tagged communications (with the marker) over the first network to the second network. The first network operated by the service provider conveys the tagged communications in accordance with a data delivery policy as indicated by the corresponding marker in the forwarded communications.
