  • Patent number: 11159420
    Abstract: A method and a VPN server for VPN route optimization are described. The VPN server establishes a first VPN connection with a first client device and a second VPN connection with a second client device. The VPN server determines that the first and second client devices are part of a same local network; and responsive to determining that the first and the second client devices are part of the same local network, transmits, to the first client device through the first VPN connection, a second public network address of the second client device, and to the second client device through the second VPN connection, a first public network address of the first client device. The transmission of the first and second public network addresses causes the first client device to determine an optimal route from the first client device to the second client device for the traffic in the VPN.

  • Patent number: 11076418
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) processing in presence of downlink preemption indication (DLPI). A method for wireless communication by a base station (BS) includes determining a feedback timing indicator associated with a PDSCH transmission to a user equipment (UE) in a first slot. The determination is based on a first number of slots from the first slot until transmission of a DLPI to the UE in a second slot and a second number slots for a minimum processing time associated with the UE. The method includes sending downlink control information (DCI) to the UE scheduling the PDSCH transmission to the UE in the first slot. The DCI includes the feedback timing indicator.

  • Patent number: 11019221
    Abstract: A Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) can be aware of whether a UE connects through a cellular or WIFI connection through a gateway. Management messages can be modified to allow the PCEF volume based online charging functionality to remain in the core network (i.e. in the P-GW/PCEF). Session management messaging between the ISWN (ISW-GW) and the core network (P-GW/PCEF) may be modified so that the core network may be notified when the ISWN moves a bearer, or flow, from one RAT to another. Alternately, PCEF volume based online charging functionality can be added to the ISWN. The PCEF of the ISWN can be tasked with performing volume based online charging while the UE is in the ISWN.
