  • Publication number: 20230379202
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for a Convex Reduction of Amplitude (CRAM) based processing scheme for a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Orthogonal Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmitter system. In one embodiment, a method performed by a processing system for a MIMO OFDM transmitter system comprises precoding frequency-domain input signals to provide frequency-domain precoded signals for multiple subcarriers. The method further comprises processing the frequency-domain precoded signals in accordance with a CRAM-based processing scheme to provide time-domain precoded signals for respective transmit branches of the MIMO OFDM transmitter system. The CRAM-based processing scheme uses projection matrices for the subcarriers, respectively, to project clipping energy into a null space of the MIMO OFDM transmitter system. Further, the projection matrices are a function of static or semi-static information that defines the null space of the MIMO OFDM transmitter system.

  • Patent number: 11736364
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device classification service uses feature vectors that represent how frequently one or more traffic features were observed in a network during different time windows to train a cascade of machine learning classifiers to label one or more devices in the network with a device type. The service receives traffic features of traffic associated with a particular device in the network, and then uses the cascade of machine learning classifiers to assign a device type label to the particular device based on the traffic features of the traffic associated with the particular device. The service initiates enforcement of a network policy regarding the device based on its device type based on the device type label assigned to the particular device.

  • Patent number: 11729210
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a device classification service obtains device telemetry data indicative of declarative attributes of a device in a network and indicative of behavioral attributes of that device. The device classification service labels the device with a device type, based on the device telemetry data. The device classification service detects device type spoofing exhibited by the device using a model that models a relationship between the declarative attributes and the behavioral attributes. The device classification service initiates, based on the device type spoofing, a mitigation action regarding the device.

  • Patent number: 11729097
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains behavioral metrics for application traffic in a network for a plurality of applications. The device identifies a first application and a second application from among the plurality of applications as fate sharing applications, based on a correlation between the behavioral metrics for their application traffic. The device generates a configuration change for the network that would prevent the first application and the second application from being fate sharing applications, when application traffic for the first application negatively affects the behavioral metrics for the application traffic of the second application. The device causes the configuration change to be implemented in the network.

  • Patent number: 11711291
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device uses a classification model to determine whether implementation of a routing change suggested by a predictive routing engine for a network will result in a violation of one or more network policies. The device computes a trust score, based on performance metrics for the classification model. The device causes, based in part on the trust score, implementation of the routing change in the network, when the classification model determines that application of the routing change will not result in a violation of the one or more network policies.
