  • Publication number: 20240098036
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a payload pipeline system that, as part of an inter-network facilitation system, can facilitate digital payload throughput between network components using a staggered payload relayer. For example, the disclosed systems utilize custom tooling to implement a staggered payload relayer as an intelligent conduit or pipeline that operates as a publisher-subscriber paradigm system (as opposed to a data stream system). In some cases, the disclosed systems can utilize synchronous or asynchronous communication to receive digital payloads for events from publisher network components and to make the digital payloads available within a payload queue maintained by the staggered payload relayer (for access by subscriber network components).

  • Patent number: 11924886
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable storage medium for transport block size (TBS) configuration. In example embodiments, a terminal device transmits a random access preamble to a network device. The terminal device receives a random access response from the network device. The random access response includes a resource allocated for a reference TBS. Based on the reference TBS, the terminal device determines a TBS for transmitting data to the network device. Then, the terminal device transmits the data to the network device by using the determined TBS and the allocated resource. This TBS configuration is more flexible.

  • Patent number: 11922211
    Abstract: System and method for managing migration of trusted execution environments (TEEs) based on migration policies utilizes a source migration agent in the source host computer and a destination migration agent in a destination host computer to migrate a source TEE in the source host computer to the destination host computer. A migration policy data of the source TEE is first transmitted to the destination migration agent from the source migration agent to determine whether the destination host computer satisfies migration policies specified in the migration policy data. In response to a determination that the destination host computer satisfies the migration policies specified in the migration policy data, a destination TEE is created in the destination host computer and memory pages of the source TEE are transmitted to the destination TEE. The memory pages are then restored at the destination TEE for execution.
