  • Patent number: 10965403
    Abstract: A system can include a server and a device having a power source with a limited life span. The server receives data from the device and identifies a gap in the data from the device that indicates that at least a portion of the data from the device is missing. The server uses a gap reconciliation profile associated with the device to control the server to collect the missing data from the device. The server can generate a signal to request the missing data from the device based on the gap reconciliation profile and transmit the signal to the device to collect the missing data based on the gap reconciliation profile. A parameter of the gap reconciliation profile can be used to control generating or transmitting of the signal, which can preserve the limited life span of the power source of the device.

  • Patent number: 10966215
    Abstract: Wireless networking devices scan for available channels and gather data about the channels and the RF environment. Using this information, each wireless networking device determines a cost value for each available channel and a quality value for its overall RF neighborhood. Each wireless networking device select the channel with the best cost value as a candidate channel for use. The wireless networking devices may submit channel requests to the arbiter for approval. If two or more wireless networking devices are requesting the same channel, the arbiter assigns the channel to the wireless networking device with the worst RF neighborhood quality. The arbiter informs the wireless networking devices if their channel requests are approved. If a wireless networking device's channel request is not approved, the wireless networking device will rescan the remaining available channels to select a different candidate channel to be approved.

  • Patent number: 10939353
    Abstract: In a wireless mesh network, a battery operated node can select a parent node via which messages are routed to further nodes. The parent node can initially be selected based on signal strength. The node receives acknowledgements for messages sent, if they arrive. The node calculates a reliability indicator of the parent node based on the number of messages for which an acknowledgement has been received. If the reliability indicator exceeds a predetermined threshold the node selects a new parent node, based on second selection criteria. For example, the node with the next greatest signal strength.

  • Patent number: 10932152
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed to perform rate adaptation in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU may receive an encoded data stream, which may be encoded according to a Dynamic Adaptive HTTP Streaming (DASH) standard. The WTRU may request and/or receive the data stream from a content server. The WTRU may monitor and/or receive a cross-layer parameter, such as a physical layer parameter, a RRC layer parameter, and/or a MAC layer parameter (e.g., a CQI, a PRB allocation, a MRM, or the like). The WTRU may perform rate adaption based on the cross-layer parameter. For example, the WTRU may set the CE bit of an Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) field based on the cross-layer parameter. The WTRU may determine to request the data stream encoded at a different rate based on the cross-layer parameter, the CE bit, and/or a prediction based on the cross-layer parameter.

  • Patent number: 10917919
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for scheduling traffic between a transmitting device and a receiving device. A transmitting device negotiates with a receiving device to reserve a slot for communicating data with the receiving device and determines whether the transmitting device is a master or a slave with respect to the receiving device. If the transmitting device is the master, the transmitting device sends, at a beginning of the slot, a transmission priority (TxP) signal, wherein the TxP signal indicates that the transmitting device intends and has priority to transmit the data in the slot. The transmitting device then receives, from the receiving device, a clear-to-send (CTS) message in the slot based on the TxP signal, and transmits the data to the receiving device in the slot upon receiving the CTS message. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 10917348
    Abstract: A network device includes a Network Interface Device (NID) and multiple servers. Each server is coupled to the NID via a corresponding PCIe bus. The NID has a network port through which it receives packets. The packets are destined for one of the servers. The NID detects a PCIe congestion condition regarding the PCIe bus to the server. Rather than transferring the packet across the bus, the NID buffers the packet and places a pointer to the packet in an overflow queue. If the level of bus congestion is high, the NID sets the packet's ECN-CE bit. When PCIe bus congestion subsides, the packet passes to the server. The server responds by returning an ACK whose ECE bit is set. The originating TCP endpoint in turn reduces the rate at which it sends data to the destination server, thereby reducing congestion at the PCIe bus interface within the network device.
