  • Patent number: 11843534
    Abstract: A method and device for detecting a NETCONF session state are provided. According to an example of the method, detection of a NETCONF connection is caused by a change of an OpenFlow connection. In the case that a NETCONF session is established between a controller and a switching device, when detecting that an OpenFlow connection between the controller and the switching device changes in state, the controller sends a packet for obtaining session information of the NETCONF session to the switching device. The NETCONF session is determined to be abnormal if no session information is obtained within a preset time period; and the NETCONF session is determined to be normal if the session information is obtained within the preset time period.

  • Patent number: 11818061
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for preventing or reducing cross-network interference associated with a coordinated transmission on a wireless channel. A first access point (AP) of a first basic service set (BSS) and a second AP of a second BSS can concurrently use the wireless channel using a coordinated transmission during a portion of a transmission opportunity (TXOP). The TXOP owner (such as the first AP) may allocate a resource assignment to the second AP such that the resource assignment is conditionally available for use by the second AP in a coordinated transmission. The condition may prevent the resource assignment from being used by the second BSS when its use would cause interference to the first BSS. The condition may be based on a transmit power for downlink communication or uplink communication in the second BSS.

  • Patent number: 11711847
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for wireless local area network (WLAN) communication which support real-time application (RTA) packets. The access point (AP) schedules multiple-user (MU) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions for uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) for RTA packets by allocating resources to packet transmissions before RTA packet arrival. The AP contends for channel access before the expected time of arrival of the RTA packet in the DL or UL direction. The operations reduce RTA packet latency on the WLAN.

  • Patent number: 11616694
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for determining a configuration mismatch between a first device and a second device. During operation, a first device receives a plurality of Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) protocol messages from a second device. The first device is configured with a first interval configuration value corresponding to a frequency which the first device sends the UDLD protocol messages to the second device. The first device determines a second interval configuration value of the second device, which corresponds to a frequency which the second device sends the UDLD protocol messages to the first device. The first device determines that there is a configuration mismatch between the first device and the second device, and creates a log entry for the configuration mismatch, the log entry including the first and second interval configuration values.
