  • Patent number: 11153926
    Abstract: According to one example embodiment, a method in a user equipment, UE, includes receiving a request from a radio access network for a measurement report for an application operating at a layer above a radio resource control, RRC, protocol layer. The UE generates the measurement report in response to the request and determines a current RRC connected state of the UE when the measurement report is ready to be sent. In response to determining that the current RRC connected state of the UE is not a CELL_DCH RRC state, the UE sends a cell update message to the radio access network and receives instructions from the radio access network to transition to the CELL_DCH RRC state. The UE transitions to the CELL_DCH RRC state and transmits the measurement report while the UE is in the CELL_DCH RRC state. Related user equipment nodes, radio access nodes and methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11140602
    Abstract: Example end marker sending methods are described. In one example method, a user plane gateway (UP GW) determines when to send an end marker based on trigger information, so as to sort one or more downlink data packets received on a target user plane path based on the end marker. The UP GW receives trigger information and an identifier (ID) of a source user plane path of user equipment (UE) that are sent by a control plane (CP) node, where the UP GW is located on the source user plane path. The UP GW sends an end marker to an access network (AN) node on the source user plane path based on the trigger information and the ID of the source user plane path.

  • Patent number: 11140218
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide novel methods for performing services on data messages passing through a network connecting one or more datacenters, such as software defined datacenters (SDDCs). The method of some embodiments uses service containers executing on host computers to perform different chains (e.g., ordered sequences) of services on different data message flows. For a data message of a particular data message flow that is received or generated at a host computer, the method in some embodiments uses a service classifier executing on the host computer to identify a service chain that specifies several services to perform on the data message. For each service in the identified service chain, the service classifier identifies a service container for performing the service. The service classifier then forwards the data message to a service forwarding element to forward the data message through the service containers identified for the identified service chain.

  • Patent number: 11140064
    Abstract: A network device may receive, from client devices, route information for one or more sets of routes. The network device may provide, based on receiving the route information, a request for route distribution instructions, which may cause a server device to provide the network device with the route distribution instructions. The network device may process the route distribution instructions to identify the one or more subsets of the route information that are to be distributed amongst network devices that are configured with route reflection capabilities. The network device may provide, using route reflection capabilities, the one or more subsets of the route information to the network devices based on the route distribution instructions. The network devices may use the one or more subsets of the route information and route copy instructions to generate route copy information for the one or more subsets of route information.

    Abstract: User Equipment (UE) supporting low-latency wireless communication methods, a method and an apparatus in a base station. In one embodiment, a UE receives a first signaling indicating whether the Reference Signal (RS) pattern of a target RS set is a first or second pattern in a second Long Term Evolution (LTE) timeslot. According to the indication of the first signaling, the target RS set and a second data are processed by a first operation in the second LTE. The target RS set includes P RSs, P being a positive integer, and the P RSs are respectively mapped to P antenna ports. The second data is transmitted by the P antenna ports. The second LTE timeslot is an LTE timeslot behind the first LTE timeslot and continuous with the first LTE timeslot. The first pattern is the RS pattern of the LTE downlink UE-specific Reference Signal (URS) in the LTE timeslot.
