Patent number: 11736985Abstract: Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) nodes communicate with one another in half-duplex mode. Such a multiplexing of the communications of the IAB node requires simultaneous execution of a “mobile terminal” function and of a “base station” function by the IAB node. However, these two functions are not synchronised with one another, resulting in a lack of temporal alignment between the data communicated with the parent node and the data communicated with the child node, which causes interference that negatively impacts the quality of the communications between the different IAB nodes involved. Existing solutions suffer from long data processing times and are expensive. Accordingly, a time offset is introduced during the processing of the data by the child node, in order to take into account the lack of synchronisation between the “mobile terminal” function and the “base station” function of the current node.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: ORANGEInventor: Hao Lin

Patent number: 11677611Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for distributing control-channel communication load between multiple controllers in a network control system. In some embodiments, the controllers manage physical forwarding elements that forward data between several computing devices (also called hosts or host computers), some or all of which execute one or more virtual machines (VMs). The method of some embodiments distributes a controller assignment list to the host computers. The host computers use this list to identify the controllers with which they need to interact to perform some of the forwarding operations of their associated logical forwarding elements. In some embodiments, agents executing on the host computers (1) review the controller assignment list to identify the appropriate controllers, and (2) establish control channel communications with these controllers to obtain the needed data for effectuating the forwarding operations of their associated physical forwarding elements.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2018Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: NICIRA, INC.Inventors: Jianjun Shen, Hua Wang, James Joseph Stabile, Xuan Zhang

Patent number: 11671158Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that support beam failure determination based on a dynamic range of transmission power ratios between two reference signals (e.g., between a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)). A wireless device may identify the dynamic range of transmission power ratios that may be used by a base station (e.g., via indications of maximum and minimum transmission power ratios, indications of one or more offsets from some average transmission power ratio, etc. sent from the base station). The wireless device may use the identified dynamic range of transmission power ratios, along with a CSI-RS measurement, to determine a range of hypothetical block error rates (BLERs). Values within the range of hypothetical BLERs may be compared to a threshold in order to determine a beam failure status (e.g., a beam failure).Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Chenxi Hao, Alexandros Manolakos, Tao Luo, Yu Zhang
