  • Patent number: 10708185
    Abstract: A first network device advertises routes of locally connected routes/subnetworks based on the connectivity of the host with respect to peer network devices. The first network device establishes a virtual port channel associated with a virtual network address. The virtual port channel includes the first network device associated with a first network address and a second network device associated with a second network address. The first network device detects that a host is connected to the first network device and determines a next hop address to associate with the host. The next hop address is determined based on whether the host is also connected to the second network device of the virtual port channel. The first network device generates a route advertisement associating the next hop address with the host.

  • Patent number: 10645619
    Abstract: A mechanism for S1 handover triggered by a target eNodeB. When a UE is being served by a source eNodeB and detects threshold strong coverage of a target cell, the UE sends an RRC connection request to the target eNodeB and informs the target eNodeB that the UE is being served by the source eNodeB. In response, the target eNodeB engages in a process to invoke handover of the UE to the target eNodeB, without the target eNodeB having received from the MME or from the source eNodeB a handover request for the handover of the UE.

  • Patent number: 10630428
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed whereby a signal is transmitted from a wireless network to a wireless device, requesting automatic repeat-request, ARQ, feedback for certain indicated ARQ processes. This asynchronous approach addresses a problem with irregular ARQ feedback for dynamic time-division-duplexing, and also allows for relaxed processing-time constraints in the wireless device. An example method, in a wireless device, comprises receiving (610) from a wireless communication network, in a first transmission-time interval, a request for ARQ feedback, the request indicating one or more ARQ processes. The example method further comprises transmitting (620) to the wireless communication network, in a second transmission-time interval, ARQ feedback information for each of the one or more indicated ARQ processes.

  • Patent number: 10582526
    Abstract: A network device predicts end-to-end channel capacity entropy to permit use of optimal throughput settings in a network. The network device stores class definitions for a network condition; identifies multiple input features to correlate with the class definitions; generates a multiclass classification model that produces an importance score for each of the multiple input features, wherein the importance score reflects the contribution of an input feature to the network condition; selects two or more of the multiple input features with highest importance scores as influential features; predicts the behavior of the influential features to identify a current class, from the class definitions, for the network condition over an end-to-end communication channel; and sends an estimated network condition, based on the current class, to a device for traffic optimization.
