Abstract: This application describes resource unit indication methods, access points, and stations. In an example method, a resource unit allocation subfield in a trigger frame includes a frequency band range indication and a resource unit indication. The resource unit indication is used to indicate a multi-resource unit (MRU) allocated to a station. The frequency band range indication is used to indicate a frequency band range in which a resource unit (RU) in the MRU is located. For example, the frequency band range indication is used to indicate 80 MHz in which a smallest RU in the MRU is located.

Abstract: A consensus protocol-based replication approach is provided. For each change operation performed by a leader server on a copy of the database, the leader server creates a replication log record and returns a result to the client. The leader does not wait for consensus for the change operation from the followers. For a commit, the leader creates a commit log record and waits for consensus. Thus, the leader executes database transactions asynchronously, performs replication of change operations asynchronously, and performs replication of transaction commits synchronously.

Abstract: A lead-sync log record is used to synchronize the replication logs of follower shards to the leader shard. In response to a failure to determine that there is a consensus for a database transaction commit operation after a shard server becomes a new leader, the new leader shard performs a sync operation using the lead-sync log record to synchronize replication logs of the follower shards to the replication log of the new leader. A shard server identifies a first transaction having a first log record but not a post-commit log record in the replication log, defines a recovery window in the replication log starting at the first log record of the identified first transaction and ending at the lead-sync log record, identifies a set of transactions to be recovered, and performs a recovery action on the set of transactions to be recovered.

Abstract: A consensus protocol-based replication approach is provided. Chunks are grouped into replication units (RUs) to optimize replication efficiency. Chunks may be assigned to RUs based on load and replication throughput. Splitting and merging RUs do not interrupt concurrent user workload or require routing changes. Transactions spanning chunks within an RU do not require distributed transaction processing. Each replication unit has a replication factor (RF), which refers to the number of copies/replicas of the replication unit, and an associated distribution factor (DF), which refers to the number of servers taking over the workload from a failed leader server. RUs may be placed in rings of servers, where the number of servers in a ring is equal to the replication factor, and quiescing the workload can be restricted to a ring of servers instead of the entire database.

Abstract: A blockchain object stores multiple user blockchains, each blockchain comprising an ordered set of records in the blockchain object. The records of a user blockchain have the same blockchain key value. Users can create multiple blockchains by establishing respective blockchain key values for the blockchains. Like blocks in a blockchain, the records in a user blockchain are ordered by a sequence of numbers that is specific to the user blockchain; each user blockchain has its own sequence of numbers. Each record in a user blockchain holds a sequence number in a field of the blockchain object. An efficient mechanism maintains and assigns a sequence number to a record when appended to a user blockchain.
