  • Patent number: 11224010
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses exemplified in this disclosure provide mechanisms for a wireless communication device to indicate its Radio Access Technology (RAT) preferences to a wireless communication network, and for a wireless communication network to consider the RAT preferences of a given device when deciding which RAT the device will use. As a non-limiting example of the advantages flowing from these mechanisms, devices operating within a network that includes or is associated with multiple RATs can indicate their preferences for which RAT they use, while still allowing the network to retain control of the RAT selection decisions. Such flexibility offers significant advantages in 5G networks that provide tight integration between multiple RATS—e.g., between LTE and NR air interfaces. However, the methods and apparatuses disclosed herein are not limited to 5G networks.

  • Patent number: 11190481
    Abstract: A two-tier Anycast addressing hierarchy enables deterministic traffic management in an Anycast system. Different locations of the Anycast system advertise a common Anycast cover route comprising a first-tier Anycast address with a first address prefix, and different specific routes comprising a set of second-tier Anycast addresses with a second address prefix, wherein each address of the set of second-tier Anycast addresses falls within the already advertised Anycast cover route, and wherein the second prefix is larger than the first prefix. Domain Name System (DNS) operation can resolve queries to the cover route when normal Anycast operation is desired or can be modified to resolve a subset of queries to a particular second-tier address in order to shift a deterministic amount of traffic based on the resolved subset of queries to a deterministically selected Anycast system location based on the location from which the particular second-tier address is advertised.

  • Patent number: 11102104
    Abstract: Conventional test systems can experience issues when attempting to test network nodes or system with realistic high speed forward error correction (FEC) encoded test data. For example, a test system may use a packet data generator to generate eight data streams or lanes of 50 Gigabits per second (Gbps) test data and may then use a multiplexer to combine the eight lanes into a 400 Gbps data stream for transmission using 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4). To generate a high speed data stream comprising multiple data lanes, the test system may be required to use a master clock or other time synchronization technique to keep the data lanes in sync. Further, to generate an FEC encoded high speed data stream comprising multiple data lanes, the test system may perform FEC encoding across all of the data lanes comprising the high speed data stream, which can make test data modifications difficult afterwards. Hence, issues can arise if a packet data generator lacks capabilities, e.g.
