  • Patent number: 11290889
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device, and a computer-readable storage medium for allocating system resources among a plurality of network slices in a communication network. In the communication network, a network device determines utility values of two network slices. A network slice corresponds to a set of network functions of a set of services served thereby. A utility value of the network slice indicates the level of demand for system resources by the set of services associated with the network slice. The network device determines a difference between the utility values of the two network slices. If the difference exceeds a threshold utility value, the network device re-allocates system resources among the plurality of network slices in the communication network.

  • Publication number: 20210409090
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing interference in a communication network include transmitting a first downlink signal (50) from a first transmit/receive point (TRP) (46) to an electronic device (14) using a beam (62). The electronic device (14) can also receive a second downlink signal (52) from a second TRP (48), where a portion (54) of the first downlink signal (50) from the first TRP (46) interferes with the second downlink signal (52). The first TRP (46) then receives a series of uplink pilot signals (66, 68) from the electronic device (14). Using the received uplink pilot signals (66, 68), the first TRP (46) can then estimate the angle of departure (AoD) for the intended signal (first downlink signal (50)), and the AoD for the interference signal (54).

  • Publication number: 20210376556
    Abstract: Methods and devices are described for performing an all-phase measurement of an ultra-fast laser pulse having a spectral range of greater than one octave. The ultra-fast laser pulse may be split into a first beam comprising a fundamental light with a wavelength ?0 and a second beam comprising a light with a wavelength 2?0. The light with the wavelength 2?0 may be frequency doubled to a light with a wavelength ?0 to generate an interference with the fundamental light. Fourier transform may be performed on an interference spectrum of the interference, and a relative envelope delay (RED) between the fundamental light and the frequency doubled light and a carrier envelope phase (CEP) may be acquired based on a result of the Fourier transform.
