Patent number: 10708875Abstract: A half-duplex radio device (100) generates a repetitive transmission of an uplink message to a base station (150) of the cellular network. The radio device (100) splits the repetitive transmission of the uplink message into a sequence of multiple transmit periods and configures at least one measurement gap between the transmit periods. In the transmit periods, the radio device (100) sends the repetitive transmission to the base station. In the at least one measurement gap configured between the transmit periods, the radio device (100) temporarily switches to receiving at least one downlink signal from the base station (150). Based on the received at least one downlink signal, the radio device (100) estimates a frequency error of a reference frequency source of the radio device (100).Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2016Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Olof Zander, Basuki Priyanto, Martin Beale, Shin Horng Wong

Patent number: 10694414Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2018Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: INTERDIGITAL TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Paul Marinier, Douglas R Castor

Patent number: 10693770Abstract: Techniques are described for providing session-aware, stateful network services to subscriber packet flows. Devices within a service provider network direct subscriber packets along service chains. Each tunnel is established to direct traffic according a particular ordered set of network services for the corresponding service chain. An ingress device for the tunnels encapsulate the subscriber packets and embed opaque session cookies that each uniquely identifies a collection of packet flows of a subscriber session amongst other packet flows transported by a given service tunnel. Each service node need only identify the tunnel on which a tunnel packet was received and the session cookie embedded within the tunnel packet to uniquely associate the encapsulated subscriber packet with a subscriber session, without needing to further inspect the encapsulated subscriber packet, and to index or otherwise retrieve state and statistics required to enforce the network service the service nod is programmed to deliver.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Jerome P. Moisand, Julius W. Francis

Patent number: 10673767Abstract: Conventional internet routing is handled using routing protocols such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). However, simple BGP does not account for latency, packet loss, or cost. To address this problem, smart routing systems that route traffic fast and in a cost-effective manner are implemented. In one approach, smart routing systems measure, compare, and analyze round-trip latencies and other metrics between a customer premises and one or more endpoints. Optimal inbound and outbound transit providers are selected for each endpoint based on these measurements. Other smart routing systems collect and analyze Real User Monitoring (RUM) data to predict latency performance of different content origins for serving data to a particular client based on the client's IP address and the content origins' IP addresses, which are ranked by performance.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2016Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: DYNAMIC NETWORK SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Alin Popescu, Philip Stanhope, Arun Mehra, Stephen Hulshof, Brian Premore, Douglas Madory, Scott Michael Brazina, Charlie Baker, Richard Gibson

Patent number: 10667229Abstract: A service layer entity (e.g., application entity, common service entity in oneM2M, also referred to as registree entity) may register to another service layer entity (e.g., common service entity in oneM2M, also referred to as a registrar entity) and proactively request to gain access to the local services hosted by the registrar entity. A registrar entity may accept a registree entity's registration request but only grant access of its partial services to the registree entity. If a registree entity does not need to proactively request the services within its registration request message, the registrar entity decides what services may be needed by the registree entity and grants access of those services to the registree entity.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Convida Wireless, LLCInventors: Lijun Dong, Rocco Di Girolamo, Chonggang Wang, Hongkun Li, Qing Li, Catalina M.

Patent number: 10595273Abstract: Systems and methods for activating select devices are described herein. More particularly, this specification relates to using structure specific service IDs (SSSIDs) when two devices that are part of a common ecosystem are deciding whether to establish a connection according to a Bluetooth protocol. The SSSID can be a unique identifier that can be included in packets that are transmitted in accordance with the standards defining the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol. The SSSIDs can be generated and provided to select devices such that only the select devices that are in possession of the SSSID are able to communicate with each other. This advantageously eliminates spurious activation of unintended recipient devices by enabling them to ignore the packet if the SSSID is not recognized, thereby enabling the unintended recipient device to remain in a low power sleepy state.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Liang-Yun Wang, Prashanth Ramachandran
