  • Patent number: 12223056
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for detection of abusive computational nodes. In various examples, first input data describing a first plurality of computational nodes and first data identifying a dimension along which to parse the first plurality of computational nodes may be received. A first computing device may generate input graph data representing the first plurality of computational nodes. The computational nodes of the first plurality of computational nodes may share a same value for the dimension are connected to one another in the input graph data. In various examples, a first graph machine learning model and at least one known abusive computational node may be used to determine a first set of candidate computational nodes for further evaluation. In some cases, network access of a first computational node of the first set of candidate computational nodes may be terminated.

  • Patent number: 12185293
    Abstract: An allocation strategy allocating Resource Block Groups (RBGs) on a frequency carrier to a first Radio Access technology (RAT) and a second RAT for radio communication with a User Equipment (UE), is provided. A first allocation strategy is evaluated by allocating with start from the decided first RAT starting point, a first number of RBGs to the first RAT. The second RAT is allocated a second number of RBGs by use of the RBs that remains on the carrier after occupation of the first number of RBGs. A first difference is computed between the number of RBs requested for the first RAT and a first number of RBs comprised in the first number of RBGs allocated to the first RAT, and further computes a second difference between the number of RBs requested for the second RAT and a second number of RBs as comprised in the second number of RBGs.

  • Patent number: 12114190
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for operating a network node, as well as corresponding network nodes, computer programs, computer program products, and computer-readable media. The method comprises attempting to obtain a scheduled uplink transmission from a transmitter. In response to successful decoding at the network node of the scheduled uplink transmission, it is concluded that the uplink transmission is not skipped by the transmitter. In response to unsuccessful decoding at the network node of the scheduled uplink transmission and a signal strength measurement for the attempt to obtain the scheduled uplink transmission being below a threshold, it is concluded that the uplink transmission is skipped by the transmitter. In response to unsuccessful decoding at the network node of the scheduled uplink transmission and the signal strength measurement for the attempt to obtain the scheduled uplink transmission exceeding the threshold, rescheduling of the uplink transmission is performed.

  • Patent number: 11963167
    Abstract: A method in a User Equipment (UE) configured with Discontinuous Reception (DRX) and a method in a network node for Downlink (DL) scheduling of the UE. The UE is further configured with Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS) which reduces the latency in Uplink (UL) transmission. The network node monitors a receipt of UL data in any of the SPS resources granted to the UE, a Wake-up grant or assignment is sent on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and a HARQ-information is sent in response to the received UL data. The Wake-up grant/assignment triggers a drx-Inactivity timer to run in the UE. While the UE is DRX active, the network node may schedule a DL data transmission and send a DL assignment and the DL data to the UE.

    Abstract: A method performed by a network node for deciding whether or not to trigger short Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS) reactivation of a short SPS activated User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network is provided. The network node receives Uplink, UL, data from the UE over a radio resource. The radio resource comprises any one out of: an SPS resource and a dynamically granted resource. The network node determines a difference of signal quality of the radio resource used for the received UL data compared to a previous signal quality calculated when last of any one out of: deactivation and reactivation of short SPS was triggered. The network node then decides whether or not to trigger short SPS reactivation of the UE based on the determined difference of the signal quality.
