  • Patent number: 11026156
    Abstract: A base station device broadcasts a base station identifier. The base station identifier is assigned to the base station device, and is broadcasted in one or more system information messages that are receivable by user devices located within a threshold distance from the base station device. The base station device determines whether the base station identifier is to be altered, and processes the base station identifier to generate an altered base station identifier for the base station device. The base station device performs one or more actions to cause the altered base station identifier to be broadcasted. The altered base station identifier is broadcasted in one or more additional system information messages that are receivable by the user devices.

  • Patent number: 11025528
    Abstract: Optimization of network-performant-sensitive Internet data traffic for improved performance of network-performant-sensitive applications is provided. A system and method identify an optimal route for data from a client-network to a remote host-network and direct the data along the optimal route. In one implementation, a VNF is configured as a default gateway for the data and is deployed at a strategic location along the optimal route, thus forcing the data on the route. In another implementation, a VNF is deployed on a network and configured as a virtual router. A client network that is provisioned for optimized routing services communicates with the virtual router, wherein the virtual router advertises the optimized route to peers to route the targeted subset of traffic on the optimal route. In another implementation, the system is configured to emulate a router and advertise the optimized route to peers to route the data on the optimal route.

  • Patent number: 11006448
    Abstract: A method for performing, by a station (STA) apparatus, uplink (UL) multi-user (MU) transmission in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes performing carrier sensing on a channel, receiving a trigger frame including information for UL MU transmission and a carrier sense indicator indicating whether a result of the carrier sensing is to be reflected from an access point (AP), and transmitting an UL MU frame through the channel based on the information for UL MU transmission. The UL MU frame is transmitted through the channel based on a result of the carrier sensing if the carrier sense indicator indicates the reflection of a result of the carrier sensing. The UL MU frame is transmitted through the channel regardless of a result of the carries sensing if the carrier sense indicator does not indicate the reflection of a result of the carrier sensing.

  • Patent number: 10980014
    Abstract: The present invention is designed so that, when special subframes are allowed to transmit a PUSCH, the transmission of the PUSCH can be controlled adequately. According to the present invention, a user terminal has a receiving section that receives downlink control information (DCI) that schedules an uplink (UL) shared channel, and a control section that controls transmission of the UL shared channel by using a table that associates a subframe, in which the DCI is received, and a timing, at which the UL shared channel is transmitted, per UL/downlink (DL) configuration. The transmission timing in the table is determined based on a special subframe, which is allowed to transmit the UL shared channel, and a predetermined reference value, which is lower than 4 ms.
