  • Patent number: 10701731
    Abstract: It is presented a method for determining whether to initiate transmission of data on a candidate radio channel during a candidate period. The method is performed in a transceiver device and comprises the steps of: obtaining a first signal metric indicating a signal level of the candidate radio channel; determining that the first signal metric indicates a signal level being greater than a first threshold; obtaining a second signal metric indicating a signal level of at least one adjacent radio channel, being adjacent in frequency to the candidate radio channel; refraining from initiating transmission on the candidate radio channel in the candidate period when the second signal metric indicates a lower signal level than the first signal metric; and initiating transmission of data on the candidate radio channel in the candidate period when the second signal metric indicates a higher signal level than the first signal metric.

  • Patent number: 10602413
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that cause a client device to initiate a policy-pull request to retrieve a policy update associated with the client device. Particularly, a Policy State Propagation (PSP) System may transmit a policy-pull notification to client device that is configured to cause the client device to initiate a request to retrieve the policy update, thereby substantially eliminating a delay between an actual policy update by the telecommunications service provider, and the client device receiving the policy update. The policy update may be based on an update of client profile data or network analytics data associated with operations of the client device on the telecommunications network. Further, the PSP system may generate a policy update data packet that includes the policy update. The PSP system may selectively transmit the policy update data packet to the client device in response receiving the policy-pull request, and further authenticating the client device.

  • Patent number: 10476785
    Abstract: A Multibit Trie is created for routing distribution of IP prefixes in each Virtual Private Network (VPN). Routing of IP prefixes in the highest level 1˜m of the Multibit Trie is expanded to IP prefixes in level m+1 according to a prefix expansion method, wherein m is an integer larger than 1. Each branch of the IP prefixes in the level m+1 of the Multibit Trie is taken as a Branch_Tree, and data structure information of each Branch_Tree is saved. When routing of an IP address in a VPN is to be searched, a Branch_Tree is searched in a Multibit Trie corresponding to the VPN according to the highest m+1 bits of the IP address, and the routing of the IP address is searched in the Branch_Tree.

  • Patent number: 10425354
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a resource allocation method, a packet communication method, and an apparatus. The resource allocation method includes: dividing, by a controller, a cloud data center network into multiple independent logical zones; allocating a corresponding tunnel label range to each logical zone; when a virtual network request for allocating a resource to a tenant is received, searching the logical zones to obtain a logical zone that meets the virtual network request; and allocating a tunnel label to the tenant according to a tunnel label range corresponding to the logical zone that meets the virtual network request. Because each logical zone is independent, during tunnel label range allocation, a same tunnel label range can be allocated to different logical zones. In this way, a same tunnel label can be allocated to different switches in different logical zones, implementing reuse of the tunnel label.

  • Patent number: 10374931
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are hub-based wireless networks employing end-devices at intermediate wireless at ranges of thousands of meters. End-devices may be such things as keypads, door latches, occupancy monitors, sprinkler controllers and other devices controlled or monitored in a campus or a collection of buildings. A synchronous mode is used requiring each paired end-device to timely respond to regular packets initiated at a hub. The hub monitors the quality of a communications link on a channel to each end-device, and applies varying levels of redundancy based upon a recent history of success and failure of packet exchanges, which measurement may be a value of badness increased as errors are encountered and decreased as packet communication is successful. Detailed information on various example embodiments of the inventions are provided in the Detailed Description below, and the inventions are defined by the appended claims.
