  • Patent number: 11848786
    Abstract: A method and a status manager for controlling status reporting from a data receiving node in a wireless communication of data with a data sending node. When detecting that the data receiving node should transmit a status report to the data sending node before a prescribed time limit expires, the data receiving node is triggered to transmit the status report either together with data if the data is pending for transmission from the data receiving node when the time left before the prescribed time limit is greater than a minimum duration, or alone if no data is pending when the time left before the time limit becomes shorter than the minimum duration.

  • Patent number: 11812415
    Abstract: A method for allocating aggressive signal carriers in a target band of a wireless communication network is provided. The network includes at least one long term evolution (LTE) node and at least one non-LTE transmission source. The target band includes at least two adjacent pairs of contiguous radio frequency (RF) channels. The method includes steps of scanning each contiguous RF channel of the target band to measure a respective value of non-LTE RF energy therein, determining, from the measured non-LTE RF energy, that a first one of the contiguous RF channels is occupied by a non-LTE carrier, and allocating an LTE carrier to a second one of the contiguous RF channels, different than the first one of the contiguous RF channels, based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 11799986
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for thread-level execution in non-kernel space. Most modern consumer usage scenarios are focused on user experience for only a few network connections; in many such cases, background network applications and/or stale network connections could be de-prioritized and/or even terminated without adverse effect. The exemplary “polylithic” non-kernel space networking architecture concurrently runs multiple instances of a network stack in non-kernel space. Thread execution for each instance can be individually managed by the operating system (OS). Disclosed embodiments dynamically determine receive (RX) mitigation and/or receive side scaling with consistent hashing.

  • Patent number: 11777621
    Abstract: User equipment (UE) can include a spectrum analyzer to monitor characteristics of transmission channels. The user equipment can monitor a 600 MHz spectrum and associated channels, for example, to determine if the spectrum is free of interference or is currently occupied. The UE can analyze a received signal strength indication (RSSI), a reference signal received power (RSRP), a reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), for example, to distinguish between types of interference if a channel is occupied. User equipment (UE) can aggregate data and report such data to a network device further aggregate the data and to generate reports. Network components can be deployed or optimized based at least in part on network metrics provided by individual UEs or aggregated data provided by a plurality of UEs. In some instances, the UE can be a mobile phone of a customer to gather metrics in a distributed manner.
