  • Patent number: 11134428
    Abstract: A system for a vehicle includes a modem and a telematics controller. The modem is configured to operate in a normal service mode in which the modem connects to a mobile network whenever possible according to a subscriber identity module (SIM) configuration of the modem, and in an emulated limited service mode in which the modem emulates network conditions of a limited service mode by refraining from providing data or voice connectivity outside of emergency services. The telematics controller is programmed to responsive to receipt of an indication to transition from the normal service mode to the limited service mode, wait for any active data or voice connections to the mobile network to terminate, and responsive to termination of any active data or voice connections to the mobile network, transition the modem from the normal mode to the emulated limited service mode.

  • Patent number: 11121974
    Abstract: A highly predicable quality shared distributed memory process is achieved using less than predicable public and private internet protocol networks as the means for communications within the processing interconnect. An adaptive private network (APN) service provides the ability for the distributed memory process to communicate data via an APN conduit service, to use high throughput paths by bandwidth allocation to higher quality paths avoiding lower quality paths, to deliver reliability via fast retransmissions on single packet loss detection, to deliver reliability and timely communication through redundancy transmissions via duplicate transmissions on high a best path and on a most independent path from the best path, to lower latency via high resolution clock synchronized path monitoring and high latency path avoidance, to monitor packet loss and provide loss prone path avoidance, and to avoid congestion by use of high resolution clock synchronized enabled congestion monitoring and avoidance.

  • Patent number: 11122008
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for creating service chains for inter-cloud traffic. In some examples, a system receives domain name system (DNS) queries associated with cloud domains and collects DNS information associated the cloud domains. The system spoofs DNS entries defining a subset of IPs for each cloud domain. Based on the spoofed DNS entries, the system creates IP-to-domain mappings associating each cloud domain with a respective IP from the subset of IPs. Based on the IP-to-domain mappings, the system programs different service chains for traffic between a private network and respective cloud domains. The system routes, through the respective service chain, traffic having a source associated with the private network and a destination matching the IP in the respective IP-to-domain mapping.

  • Patent number: 11096132
    Abstract: A joint sounding mechanism used in a multi-AP system to gain channel information for joint data transmission. Multiple sounding APs can transmit a joint sounding packet that includes training symbols for the antennas of all the sounding APs with regard to the transmission channel. The antennas of the multiple sounding APs may be treated as a virtual antenna array with global antenna indexes. The joint sounding packet may include a plurality of training fields, each field corresponding to a respective antenna in the virtual antenna array. Alternatively, the joint sounding packet has subcarrier-interleaved training fields, where each sounding AP transmits training symbols on an allocated set of non-pilot subcarriers. Channel status information (CSI) can be generated by the STAs in response to the joint sounding packet and supplied to the APs. Accordingly, the APs can perform antenna beamforming and transmit a data packet jointly on the transmission channel.

  • Patent number: 11096201
    Abstract: A process for scheduling downloads for communication devices connected to a download server through a common access point. In operation, the download server receives a download request from a first communication device. The download request includes a unique access point identifier of a first access point through which the first communication device is connected to the download server. The download server identifies an access point record that is linked to the unique access point identifier of the first access point and updates the identified access point record to include the first communication device in a communication devices list included in the identified access point record. When a count of communication devices included in the communication devices list is greater than the predetermined count threshold, the download server delays an execution of a download service corresponding to the download request received from the first communication device.

  • Patent number: 11070490
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for using opportunistically delayed delivery of content to address sub-optimal bandwidth resource usage in network infrastructures that allow subscribers to share forward link resources. According to some embodiments, content is identified as delayable and assigned to a delaycast queue and/or service flow. For example, a server system of a satellite communications system identifies content that can be delayed to exploit future excess link capacity through multicasting and to exploit subscriber-side storage resources. Some implementations attempt to exploit any excess link resources at any time, while others exploit unused bandwidth only during certain times or when a certain threshold of resources is available. Various embodiments also provide content scoring and/or other prioritization techniques for optimizing exploitation of the delaycast queue.
