  • Patent number: 11962518
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a packet for a flow associated with a workload. Based on an indicator for the flow, the method determines whether the flow corresponds to one of an elephant flow or a mice flow. Only when the flow is determined to correspond to an elephant flow, the method enables a hardware acceleration operation on the packet. The hardware acceleration operation may include hardware operation offload, receive side scaling, and workload migration.

  • Patent number: 11949426
    Abstract: Aspects relate to analog-to-digital conversion of an analog signal. The resolution (number of bits) and/or the quantization levels of the analog-to-digital conversion may be configurable. A device may configure its analog-to-digital conversion parameters. For example, a first device may reduce the number of bits for its analog-to-digital converter to reduce power consumption. In this case, the first device may transmit an indication of selected analog-to-digital conversion parameters to a second device that will transmit to the first device. In this way, the second device may take appropriate action, if needed. A device may request another device to use certain analog-to-digital conversion parameters. For example, a first device may determine that a second device should use a larger number of bits for its analog-to-digital conversion process to improve the quality of the communication between the first and second devices.

  • Patent number: 11950208
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for performing sidelink communication. An example method indicates a frequency resource reservation in sidelink control information (SCI). The method includes identifying a transport block (TB) for transmission to a UE; determining a total number of sub-channels (NSL) in a resource pool for sidelink communication, a number of sub-channels (Lsub) of the TB, a first starting sub-channel index x1 of a first retransmission of the TB, and a second starting sub-channel index x2 of a second retransmission of the TB. The method includes determining a frequency resource indication value (FRIV) based on NSL, LSUB, x1, and x2, wherein the FRIV represents a result of a predetermined function of Lsub, x1, and x2 that generates a unique value for possible combinations of Lsub, x1, and x2. The FRIV is encoded in SCI and the SCI is transmitted to the UE.

  • Patent number: 11909782
    Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for Embodiments described herein provide for the use of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and/or other techniques for network-implemented spam call detection. Calls may be screened prior to notifying a called User Equipment (“UE”) that a call has been placed to the called UE. A Machine Learning Spam Detection Component (“MLSDC”) may screen a call, such as a voice call, by initiating a call session between the MLSDC and a calling UE, from which the call was requested. Via the established call session, the MLSDC may receive communications, such as voice communications, from the UE, and may determine a measure of likelihood that the call request is associated with spam by using machine learning or other techniques to compare the received communications against one or more models that indicate attributes of calls that have been identified as spam.

  • Patent number: 11831375
    Abstract: Aspects relate to mechanisms for wireless communication devices to report sub-band (SB) channel state information (SB-CSI). A UE receives a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission from a base station. The UE transmits either an acknowledgement (ACK) transmission or a negative acknowledgement (NACK) transmission to the base station in response to a reception of the PDSCH transmission. The UE determines whether to transmit a sub-band (SB) channel state information (SB-CSI) report to the base station based on whether the ACK transmission is transmitted to the base station or whether the NACK transmission is transmitted to the base station.

  • Patent number: 11824950
    Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for updating subscription information. The method includes steps described below. After a second NF transfers first subscription information to a third NF, where the first subscription information includes a first correlation identity allocated by the second NF to a first NF, the third NF allocates a second correlation identity to the first NF, and the third NF receives update subscription information of the first NF, where the update subscription information includes the second correlation identity. By using the above scheme, the issue of the lack of an update scheme of the subscription information adaptable a new system in the related art is resolved, and the update scheme of the subscription information adaptable the new system is proposed, for example, when across-NF registration of the user terminal is generated, the subscription message is updated between the new third NF and the first NF in time.
