Patent number: 10499185Abstract: A location management system identifies points of interest that may be of interest to one or more users. The location management system defines a geofence boundary encompassing a particular point of interest. When the location management system determines that the user device is inside the geofence boundary—but not, for example, when the location management system determines that the user determines that the user device is outside the geofence boundary—the location management system instructs the user device to determine wireless signals available to the user device. The location management system then receives wireless signal data from the user device for available wireless signals. By matching the received wireless signal data to known wireless signals available at the identified points of interest, the location management system determines that the user device (and hence the user) is at the point of interest.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2018Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Salvatore Scellato, Matthew Nicholas Stuttle, Chandrasekhar Thota

Patent number: 10469213Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a network node (110) in a wireless communications network (100) for handling Automatic Repeat reQuest, ARQ, feedback information from a wireless device (121) relating to downlink transmissions from the network node (110). The network node (110) obtains an indication of a downlink processing delay for the ARQ feedback information from the wireless device (121). Then, the network node (110) considers the ARQ feedback information relating to a downlink transmission from the wireless device (121) to be invalid when, according to the obtained indication of a downlink processing delay, the downlink transmission has not been processed by the wireless device (121). Embodiments of the network node (110) are also described.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Andreas Bergström, Håkan Andersson, Johan Furuskog, Niclas Wiberg, Qiang Zhang

Patent number: 10440639Abstract: A method and system for proactively managing a base station neighbor list. A base station or other network node tracks changes to the base station's neighbor list and identifies a recurring pattern of changes, in correspondence with a particular time of day for instance. The base station or other node then proactively changes the base station's neighbor list in anticipation of a recurrence of the identified pattern, such as in anticipation of recurrence of the time of day for instance. Advantageously, this method can help to reduce the extent to which the base station engages in an automatic neighbor relation process, and thus reduce the extent of signaling and other issues associated with engaging in that process.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Daniel Vivanco, Krishna Sitaram, Chunmei Liu, Hemanth B.

Patent number: 10389542Abstract: Computerized aspects monitor listening virtual local area network ports for multicast packets from hypervisor virtual machines that meet a multicast group definition, and retrieve source addresses for original hypervisor sources of detected ones of the multicast packets, bind the retrieved addresses to the multicast packets to generate encapsulated packets, and forward the encapsulated packets as user datagram protocol unicast packets to a destination address of a virtual extensible helper daemon defined for a destination hypervisor of a second virtual local area network. The destination address meets the multicast group definition for the first virtual local area network, and the second virtual local area network is geographically remote from and different from the first virtual local area network, and thus the aspects send the first user datagram protocol unicast packet through an internet protocol router to the designated receiving port.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gabriel Iszlai, Jun Jie Nan, Hong Jun Tu, Guang Yi Xu
