  • Patent number: 11665572
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting a channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback period to increase uplink capacity in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The uplink capacity is increased by reducing the uplink interference caused by CQI transmissions. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) monitors a status of downlink transmissions to the WTRU and sets the CQI feedback period based on the status of the downlink transmissions to the WTRU. A base station monitors uplink and downlink transmission needs. The base station determines the CQI feedback period of at least one WTRU based on the uplink and downlink transmission needs and sends a command to the WTRU to change the CQI feedback period of the WTRU.

  • Patent number: 11595291
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining predictions from a graph of a network dataset. The graph of the network dataset may include nodes describing entities and edges describing connections or links between the entities. Predictions may be made using a dual-path convolution network that considers both node connectivity and node topology. Node topology includes assessment of similarities in topology roles between nodes in the graph, even nodes that reside in different parts of the graph. The node connectivity and node topology in the dual-path convolution may be aligned using a multi-head attention network. Outputs from previous layers of the multi-head attention network may be provided as inputs to subsequent layers of the dual-path convolution to mutually reinforce the convolutions determining node connectivity and node topology toward alignment.

  • Patent number: 11595977
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved semi-persistent resource allocation for a mobile terminal (MT) for transmitting periodic data. The MT transmits information on the periodic data to the radio base station (BS), such that the BS determines the different possible transmission periodicities and/or the different possible message sizes of the data components of the periodic data. The MT receives from the BS plural semi-persistent resource (SPS) configurations, each being usable to transmit at least one of the supported data components. The MT indicates to the BS the data components that are to be transmitted by the MT. The MT receives from the BS an activation command to activate one or more of the SPS configurations to periodically allocate radio resources for the MT to transmit each of the indicated data components. The MT then transmits the one or more data components based on the radio resources and the transmission periodicity as configured by the activated one or more SPS configurations.

  • Patent number: 11570097
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for an overlay broadcast network for management traffic. Techniques are provided for updating an underlay network route for a virtual computing instance (VCI) on a new host. After activating the VCI on the new host, a routing table on the old host is reprogrammed to associate an Internet protocol (IP) address of the VCI to an overlay broadcast network IP address and a routing table on the new host is reprogramed to associate the first IP address to a local route on the new host. The VCI sends a message to an application programming interface (API) endpoint to initiate reprogramming of an underlay network route to associate the first IP address to the new host. When a response packet is received at the old host, via the underlay network, the old host broadcasts the packet to the overlay broadcast network.

  • Patent number: 11546242
    Abstract: Example methods and systems for logical overlay tunnel monitoring are described. One example may involve a first computer system obtaining control information identifying a list of multiple logical overlay tunnels to be monitored, including a first logical overlay tunnel between a first virtual tunnel endpoint (VTEP) and a second VTEP. Based on the control information, a first monitoring agent may configure and inject a probe packet at the first VTEP to cause the first VTEP to perform encapsulation and send an encapsulated probe packet over the first logical overlay tunnel. In response, an encapsulated response packet that includes a response packet may be received from the second monitoring agent over the first logical overlay tunnel. Based on the response packet, a tunnel performance metric associated with the first logical overlay tunnel may be determined.
