  • Patent number: 10998968
    Abstract: An EnodeB or a transmitting device intermittently generates synchronization signals, and then performs perfect omnidirectional pre-coding processing on the synchronization signals; the synchronization signals after perfect omnidirectional pre-coding processing pass through a transmission channel and are then received by a mobile terminal or a receiving device, and the mobile terminal or the receiving device uses the received synchronization signals and local replicas of the synchronization signals for receiving and synchronization processing. An EnodeB or a transmitting device generates vector signals via low-dimensional space-time coding, and then performs perfect omnidirectional pre-coding processing on the vector signals; the transmitted signals after perfect omnidirectional pre-coding processing pass through a transmission channel and are then received by a mobile terminal or a receiving device, and the mobile terminal or the receiving device uses the received signals for signal receiving processing.

  • Patent number: 10986521
    Abstract: In a wireless communication terminal in a wireless communication system for performing a control not to transmit signals, or to transmit signals with a reduction in a transmission power by a part of radio resources for a downlink signal in a cell provided by a base station, the terminal receives control information in generating a report related to a measurement result of the cell provided by the base station, monitors a state of a radio link with an own cell, and performs measurement on reception of the downlink signal. If an instruction for restricting the measurement to a part of the radio resources is included in the control information from the base station after the radio link failure occurs, the terminal generates and transmits a radio link failure report including the measurement result in the radio resources as instructed when the radio link failure occurs.

  • Patent number: 10892965
    Abstract: In a network of data devices having routing functions, a controller within the network core is arranged to monitor the status and capabalities of each data device and to check for the availability of network functions which alter the capabilities of the data devices. The controller changes the configuration of the data devices to gain the new functionality, or alters the routing behavior so that certain control data packets are forwarded to a function processor which performs processing on behalf of the data devices in a proxy manner. The function processor provides virtual functions to the data devices.

  • Patent number: 10826822
    Abstract: A method for communication includes configuring a router to forward data packets in a network in accordance with MPLS labels appended to the packets. A group of two or more of the interfaces is defined as a multi-path routing group in a forwarding table within the router. A plurality of records are stored in an ILM in the router, corresponding to different, respective label IDs, all pointing to the set of the entries in the forwarding table that belong to the multi-path routing group. Upon receiving in the router an incoming data packet having a label ID corresponding to any given record in the plurality, one of the interfaces in the group is selected, responsively to the given record and to the set of the entries in the forwarding table to which the given record points, for forwarding the incoming data packet without changing the label ID.
