  • Patent number: 10812982
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) operating in unlicensed spectrum may determine that a base station is not transmitting during a particular time period (e.g., by detecting the absence of a control signal). The UE may then perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure and, if the channel is available, may perform an autonomous uplink (UL) transmission. The autonomous UL transmission may include control information to facilitate decoding. Thus, the base station may receive the control information, and decode the rest of the autonomous UL transmission accordingly. The base station may configure the UE for autonomous UL transmissions when the radio link is established, and may also send dynamic configuration information to initiate, suspend, or reconfigure parameters for autonomous UL transmissions.

  • Patent number: 10812364
    Abstract: A deterministic model is described that is used for testing networks by exercising forwarding rules (e.g., layer 2 and layer 3) on network devices. Probe detection on a peer network device B can be implemented using a global register available to all input pipelines. The global register can be used to check a source and destination port in a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) header. If there is a match, the packet is considered a probe, and a probe detection signal is transmitted to an output pipeline to redirect the probe back to the input port. Network device A can then capture the reflected probe using layer 2 hardware and redirect it to the CPU in order to verify the actual forwarding behavior applied on the probe packet. In an alternative embodiment, probe detection logic can be incorporated in an ACL at a beginning of a pipeline for switching packets.

  • Patent number: 10805199
    Abstract: A deterministic model is described that is used for testing networks by exercising forwarding rules (e.g., layer 2 and layer 3) on network devices. Within a single network hop, a light-weight agent can be used to control the testing. One or more probe packets can be injected into an ingress pipeline of a network device using the agent executing on a local processor. The probes are detected after performing at least layer 2 and layer 3 lookups. Hardware in switching logic redirects the probes to the local processor in order to verify the actual forwarding behavior applied on the probe packet.
