  • Patent number: 11398986
    Abstract: A domain and a mobile device may exchange data via a radio access node included in a mobile network. During a time of peak demand, a data load level of the radio access node may exceed a threshold. To accommodate the peak demand, historical types and volumes of data may be used to manage a data rate related to data associated with the domain. Based on the historical information, the data rate for a mobile device, a radio access node, a range of time, or a data type may be controlled. The data rate may be managed by a network gateway, such as a gateway included in the mobile network.

  • Patent number: 11395313
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems (e.g., sidelink systems, such as vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems), wireless devices may perform dynamic resource reservations to schedule packet transmissions (e.g., data packet transmissions). Different packets may correspond to different priority levels. To support flexible resource reservation for high priority packets, wireless devices may implement techniques for preempting lower priority reservations. For example, a wireless device may identify reservations for transmitting different packets during a same transmission time interval (TTI). The device may determine whether a first or second packet has a higher relative priority and may communicate in the V2X system during the TTI according to the relative priorities.

  • Patent number: 11388615
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided by which a radio controller, also called a radio intelligence controller (RIC), is configured as a platform that hosts one or more third party applications. The radio controller platform provides the applications with access to radio access network (RAN) information and a command interface. An application programming interface is defined between the applications and the radio controller. The radio controller collects information from the RAN node and makes that information available to the applications. The applications also provide input information to the radio controller, such as in the form of a commands or a radio controller policy. The radio controller policy rules from the applications are executed by the radio controller or direct the radio controller to query one of the applications for an instruction.

  • Patent number: 11228539
    Abstract: Technologies for network interface controllers (NICs) include a compute sled and an accelerator sled in communication over a network. The accelerator sled configures a virtual switch endpoint associated with a remote direct memory access (RDMA) server instance that is associated with a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) of the accelerator sled. The accelerator sled updates local software defined networking (SDN) tables with a virtual tunnel associated with the virtual switch endpoint and a remote compute sled. A virtual switch of the accelerator sled switches virtual tunnel traffic from the remote compute sled to the RDMA server instance, which transfers data to or from the FPGA. The compute sled also updates a local SDN table with the virtual tunnel, and a virtual switch of the compute sled switches virtual tunnel traffic to or from the accelerator sled. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
