Publication number: 20240195867Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for intelligent cloud-edge resource management. An end device may provide edge nodes of an edge computing system with network link information, which may enable the edge nodes to schedule and distribute task workloads more effectively, providing greater performance, power, security, and mission-critical network availability. For example, if the end device transmits a processing task request to a first edge node, the first edge node may assign the processing task to a second edge node according to the network link information. Additionally, or alternatively, the end device may transmit an indication of processing task parameters to one or more edge nodes and may receive an indication of an estimated completion time of the processing task from the one or more edge nodes. Accordingly, the end device may assign the processing task to an edge node with the lowest completion time.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2022Publication date: June 13, 2024Inventors: Mark Bapst, Bibhu P.

Publication number: 20230078345Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for communications are described. A device or a group of devices may generate data. The group of devices may receive a group profile from a node that identifies the devices to be included, and the group profile may include a function to be evaluated at each of the devices. The node may also provision evaluation parameters which may allow the device to provide authenticated aggregate data to a requesting third party, without sharing the data between the devices, thus concurrently maintaining individual data privacy and data provenance.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Soo Bum Lee, Jay Rodney Walton, John Wallace Nasielski, Gavin Bernard Horn

Patent number: 11546350Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Aspects include a device generating data to be sent to a receiving device and determining to provide provenance for the data. The device may generate a data identifier based on an identifier generation key and encrypt the data using an encryption key generated from a key associated with an owner of the device. The device may sign they encrypted data transmission using a signing key where the signing key is based on the encrypted data and the data identifier. In some cases, the device may send the data to a receiving device via one or more proxy devices. In some cases, multiple device may send signed data transmissions to a proxy device and the proxy device may process the multiple data transmission and send the processed data to the receiving device. The receiving device may verify provenance of the data.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Soo Bum Lee, Jay Rodney Walton, John Wallace Nasielski, Gavin Bernard Horn

Publication number: 20220070178Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating self-managed trust in Internet-of-Things networks are disclosed herein. An example method of trust management at a network manager includes enrolling a network endpoint with a network managed by the network manager. The example method also includes receiving trusted reference information for the network endpoint based on enrolling the network endpoint. Additionally, the example method includes performing verification of the network endpoint based on at least one of the trusted reference information or an attestation received from the network endpoint. Further, the example method includes enforcing policies to the network endpoint based on a result of the verification. Such trust management may improve privacy and security at the network, as well as reduce latency in responding to trust incidents.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Soo Bum LEE, Mark BAPST, Gavin Bernard HORN, Jay Rodney WALTON

Patent number: 11171693Abstract: Spatial spreading is performed in a multi-antenna system to randomize an “effective” channel observed by a receiving entity for each transmitted data symbol block. For a MIMO system, at a transmitting entity, data is processed (e.g., encoded, interleaved, and modulated) to obtain ND data symbol blocks to be transmitted in NM transmission spans, where ND?1 and NM>1. The ND blocks are partitioned into NM data symbol subblocks, one subblock for each transmission span. A steering matrix is selected (e.g., in a deterministic or pseudo-random manner from among a set of L steering matrices, where L>1) for each subblock. Each data symbol subblock is spatially processed with the steering matrix selected for that subblock to obtain transmit symbols, which are further processed and transmitted via NT transmit antennas in one transmission span. The ND data symbol blocks are thus spatially processed with NM steering matrices and observe an ensemble of channels.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jay Rodney Walton, Lizhong Zheng, John W.

Patent number: 10742358Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, a method is provided in which a control channel used for transmitting control information is partitioned into a plurality of subchannels each of which is operated at a specific data rate. For each of one or more user terminals, one of the subchannels is selected based on one or more selection criteria for transmitting control information from an access point to the respective user terminal. Control information is transmitted from the access point to a user terminal on a particular subchannel selected for the respective user terminal. At the user terminal, one or more subchannels are decoded to obtain control information designated for the user terminal.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jay Rodney Walton, John Wendell Ketchum
