  • Patent number: 12200559
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards a cellular network area optimizer. The area optimizer observes cellular network conditions at multiple radio access network (RAN) nodes within a target area. Based on observed conditions, the area optimizer applies a set of parameter values at the multiple RAN nodes. The set of parameter values enhances the overall throughput, while maintaining or improving connection retainability and accessibility, of the multiple RAN nodes under the observed conditions. The area optimizer learns different sets of parameter values to apply in response to different observed conditions by making parameter value adjustments and observing the effect of the adjustments on overall throughput of the RAN nodes in the target area.

  • Patent number: 12192094
    Abstract: A client device establishes a first VPN connection with a VPN server. Traffic is sent from the client device through the first VPN connection that is destined to a different client device that has a second VPN connection with the VPN server. The client device receives a public network address of the different client device and routing metrics from the VPN server. Based at least in part on the routing metrics, the client device determines an optimal route to the different client device, where the optimal route is a connection between the client device and the different client device that does not traverse the VPN server. The client device establishes a VPN connection with the different client device and transmits traffic to that different client device using the VPN connection using the public network address of the different client device.

  • Patent number: 12192828
    Abstract: The system obtains a first acyclic graph including multiple nodes and edges connecting the multiple nodes. A process to create a weave of the first acyclic graph produces a matching weave when executed on the first acyclic graph by different computing devices. An addition of a node to the first acyclic graph produces a second acyclic graph. The addition of the node to the first acyclic graph changes the weave of the first acyclic graph. The system obtains a process to reach a global consensus among the multiple computing devices. The process indicates a criterion to satisfy prior to reaching the global consensus and determines whether the multiple computing devices in the network satisfy the criterion. Upon determining that the criterion is satisfied, the system adds a finalize node to the first acyclic graph to obtain a third acyclic graph. A weave of the third acyclic graph cannot change.

  • Patent number: 12170925
    Abstract: The invention relates to network nodes for handling non-fulfilment of QoS requirements in wireless communication systems. A first network node obtains QoS requirements associated with a PDU session of a client device application. When the QoS requirements will not be met in a core network, the first network node transmits a first QoS notification to a second network node, wherein the first QoS notification indicates that the one or more QoS requirements will not be met in the core network. When the QoS requirements will not be met in a radio access network, the first network node transmits a second QoS notification to a master node, wherein the second QoS notification indicates that the one or more QoS requirements will not be met in the radio access network. Furthermore, the invention also relates to corresponding methods and computer program.
