  • Patent number: 10999219
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for selecting types of switches and corresponding input/output methods for virtualized network functions (VNFs) of a network service and selecting one or more host computing devices to host the VNFs for the network service to realize the selected types of switches and corresponding input/output methods for the VNFs. For example, a controller that performs aspects of NFV management and orchestration (MANO) receives requirements for a network service to be provisioned in the NFVI. Based on the requirements for the network service, which may specify one or VNFs and may specify individual requirements for each VNF, the controller selects a type of switch and corresponding input/output method for each VNF.

  • Patent number: 10993265
    Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for optimizing Random Access Channel (RACH) transmissions from wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) for multiple transmissions. A WTRU may initiate uplink transmission for a random access procedure using a configured time resource such that the uplink resources may be time shared by a plurality of WTRUs. The transmission time may be calculated on an absolute or relative basis. A backoff time may be applied before starting the uplink transmission. The backoff time may be WTRU-specific, WTRU group-specific, specified per access class and may be determined based on a priority basis. A scaling factor may be applied to the backoff time. A contention free allocation method may be used to determine the appropriate resource. The data may be transmitted with and without a preamble. The WTRUs may include machine type communication devices and may be grouped in accordance with a number of factors or characteristics.

  • Patent number: 10959159
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the configuration of a device with service set information based upon an identified association between the device and a private service set. An access device may retrieve and store identifiers of private client devices associated with the access device and identifiers of private client devices associated with neighboring access devices. The access device may retrieve the private client device identifiers from neighboring access devices or from an upstream network element or server. When a client device attempts to associate with a service set offered by the access device, the access device may preclude the client device from associating with a public service set if an identifier of the client device matches a private client device identifier stored at the access device.
