Patent number: 10484271Abstract: Interest packets are provided that include a dual control plane and forwarding plane function that avoids the asymmetry associated with traditional information centric networking. Interest packets are used to update the control plane for routing purposes, as well as to request data from the content caches and providers. Instead of identifying a return path, the interest packets include an identifier of other content advertised by the client device issuing the interest packet. An advertised content identifier is stored in a data structure with an identification of the corresponding client device. Data packets include the advertised content identifier of the corresponding interest packet, in addition to the name of the requested content. When a data packet is received for requested content, the advertised content identifier is used to determine where to route the data packet.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Cedric Westphal

Patent number: 10470189Abstract: A more efficient over-the-air software push can be facilitated by leveraging a smart scheduling system for vehicles. The smart scheduling system can use location and network capacity data to prioritize over-the-air software pushes for vehicles. For instance, a vehicle, which is only operational during off-peak wireless network hours can receive a software push during the off-peak times because wireless network capacity is not an issue. However, vehicles, which are used primarily during heavy peak wireless network times can receive software in a prioritized manner based on location data, frequency of use, network capacity, etc.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Lien K.

Patent number: 10404552Abstract: Digital communications receive signals from the network tap represent “tapped” data. The tapped data is forwarded to a time stamp module. The time stamp module generates a time stamp and inserts the time stamp in each packet body. The time stamp represents a “time” when data packet content is considered to be generated at a sending node from which the tapped data originates. A packet time-stamped in this manner is then forwarded to one or more receivers, such as the recorder for additional processing. One such processing may be a performance measurement based at least in part on the time stamp that, as described, represents the time at which data packet content is considered to have been generated by the sending node. The network tap may be filterable, and either copper-based or a fiber tap.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: OnTime Networks ASInventor: Øyvind Holmeide
