  • Patent number: 11968554
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically changing a channel state information (CSI) reporting protocol by adjusting CSI reporting frequency for a wireless device communicating with an access node within a wireless network. The methods and systems identify undesirable signal performance parameters at a particular wireless device and adjust the CSI reporting frequency when the undesirable signal performance parameters meet a predetermined threshold. The method changes the CSI reporting frequency for the wireless device to enable more frequent CSI reporting to the access node to facilitate reallocation of resources.

  • Patent number: 11706143
    Abstract: Described embodiments improve the performance of a computer network via selectively forwarding packets to bypass quality of service (QoS) processing, avoiding processing delays during critical periods of high demand, increasing throughput and efficiency may be increased by sacrificing a small amount of QoS accuracy. QoS processing may be applied to a subset of packets of a flow or connection, referred to herein as “lazy” processing or lazy byte batching. Packets that bypass QoS processing may be immediately forwarded with the same QoS settings as packets of the flow for which QoS processing is applied, resulting in tremendous overhead savings with only minimal decline in accuracy.
