  • Patent number: 11405819
    Abstract: In a case that a network (NW) applies a plurality of congestion controls, various kinds of congestion control identification information along with a back-off timer (Session Management (SM) timer) are notified such that a terminal apparatus (UE) can apply a congestion control expected by the NW. Alternatively, in a case that the UE receives an NW-initiated SM request with the back-off timer activated, the UE is allowed to identify an SM timer intended by the NW-initiated SM request. Alternatively, in a case that the UE receives the NW-initiated SM request with the back-off timer activated, the UE is allowed to modify the association of the activated back-off timer and the congestion control to be applied. Thus, a communication control method for the terminal to apply the congestion control expected by the NW in the congestion controls applied by the NW in 5G congestion control that applies a plurality of congestion controls is provided.

  • Patent number: 11381500
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to assisting forwarding of multicast traffic over Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) from a multicast source to a host multi-homed to multiple provider edge (PE) devices. Embodiments are based on the inclusion of an Ethernet Segment Identification (ESI) to EVPN type-6 routes advertised by PE devices which received a multicast Join message. Other PE devices receiving such routes are able to determine whether they belong to the ES identified by the ESI and to determine whether they are designated forwarders (DFs) for the host. Furthermore, PE devices which are the DFs are configured to re-originate the EVPN type-6 routes, i.e. re-send the advertisements, indicating themselves as DFs. This ensures that a remote PE device associated with the multicast source will also send multicast traffic to such DF PE devices, which, in turn, would allow the multicast traffic to successfully reach the host.

  • Patent number: 11382042
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for enhanced power savings in wireless devices through mobile initiated dormancy procedure. A user equipment (UE) may establish radio resource control (RRC) connectivity with a base station of the network, and transmit and receive one or more distinct signaling messages for dormancy state initialization and suspension at the UE. Dormancy state implementation at the UE may conserve available power resources at the UE during periods of inactive data transaction. The one or more signaling messages may contain a single or multi-bit indication for the receiving device, and may be transmitted via direct signaling on upper layer protocols of the data network or mapped to allocated resources of a data transmission. The signaling messages may sustain synchronization between the interpreted functional mode of the UE at the base station and the implemented mode at the UE.

  • Patent number: 11368402
    Abstract: A system and method for soft locking on an ingress port of a networking device in a network, such as a network-on-chip (NoC). Once a soft lock is established, the port is given transmitting priority so long has the port has an available packet or packet parts that can make forward progress in the network. When the soft lock port's packet parts, which can make forward progress in the network, are not available, the networking device may choose another port. The system transmits packet parts from the other port until the soft locked port has packet parts available that can make forward progress in the network. Any arbitration scheme may be used to select the port that is soft locked and to select the other ports to transmit from when the soft locked port does not have packet parts that can make forward progress in the network. Once the packet (or all the packet parts) on the soft locked port has completed transmission, the soft lock of the soft locked port is released.

  • Patent number: 11349769
    Abstract: A method for controlling the flow of data traffic on a destination device in a network involves (a) providing a table associated with the destination device; (b) reading each entry of the table from the start of the table to the end of the table; (c) for each port entry read, determining whether a buffer storage threshold for data received from a source port has been exceeded. When the buffer storage threshold for data received from the source port is determined to have been exceeded, an internal stop message is transmitted to a media access control unit on the destination device, otherwise an internal continue message is transmitted to the media access control unit. Operations (b) and (c) are repeated for each of a plurality of read cycles.

  • Patent number: 11343747
    Abstract: A distributing control unit performs provisional switching control processing to a distributing unit when a link in use for first data units is a first link and a candidate link to be used is a second link. For example, the distributing control unit distributes at least one of the data units of the first data units of the data stream to the second link and distributes other data units to the first link. A determining unit determines whether or not a link in use for second data units subsequent to the first data units is to be switched from the first link to the second link based on first and second communication qualities, the first and second communication qualities being based on feedback information. The first and second communication qualities are communication qualities of the other data units and the at least one of the data units, respectively.

  • Patent number: 11343853
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for sharing a transmission opportunity (TXOP) of a wireless channel. A first wireless local area network (WLAN) device can win a contention-based procedure to become an owner of the TXOP and determine to use the TXOP as a multi-device transmission opportunity (mTXOP). Although the first WLAN device is the owner of the mTXOP, the first WLAN device may allocate resources from the mTXOP to share with other WLAN devices. During a first portion of the mTXOP, the first WLAN device allocate subordinate transmission opportunities (sub-TXOPs) for use by other WLAN devices during a second portion of the mTXOP. The allocation of sub-TXOPs may be prepared based on fairness considerations, latency considerations, or both. In some implementations, a sub-TXOP may be allocated for a non-WLAN device, such as a wireless wide area network (WWAN) apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11323169
    Abstract: A spatial multiplexing configuration may enable a user equipment (UE) to spatially multiplex two or more uplink channels of different types for simultaneous transmission. For example, a UE may receive an indication of a spatial multiplexing configuration from a base station. The UE may identify two or more uplink channels for simultaneous transmission on a same component carrier, where each uplink channel may be a different type. In such cases, the UE may spatially multiplex the two or more uplink channels on a same set of time/frequency resources on the component carrier in accordance with the spatial multiplexing configuration. The spatially multiplexed uplink channels may then be simultaneously transmitted by the UE on the set of resources, where the spatially multiplexed uplink channels may be simultaneously sent to the same base station or to different base stations. Additionally, different spatial parameters may be applied to each uplink channel.
