  • Publication number: 20200204626
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques for accessing a scale-out block interface in a cloud-based distributed computing environment (CBDCE). During operation, an instance of a block device service (BDS) receives a data request from a client. The BDS instance translates the data request into a set of data block accesses, and then sends the translated data request to a data processing layer service (DPL). The DPL instance services the data request using a set of data operations that leverage one or more of a distributed cache, a distributed database, and a cloud storage system. The BDS service leverages the DPL instance to provide to the client an abstraction of a highly-available block storage device with unlimited storage space via the scale-out block interface.

  • Patent number: 10687354
    Abstract: Current approaches to transmitting uplink data in a network often require resources to be granted. In an example, a node or apparatus may configure a plurality of devices to operate in a grant-less mode in accordance with a respective grant-less access allocation. Grant-less operations may be managed, for example, to meet the reliability and latency requirements and battery life requirements for different types of devices. For example, the state transition between grant-less and grant based may be managed.

  • Publication number: 20200084754
    Abstract: New radio download numerology allocation information may be obtained through master information block data, system information block data, radio resource control signals, or signals or a physical downlink numerology indication channel, and used along with a reference signal detected in a search space to obtain resource element positions in an antenna port reference signal in a resource block that belongs to a particular band slice according to a reference signal allocation scheme for a band slice numerology. A physical download control may then be decoded based upon one or more resource elements of the reference signal, allowing the connection of, e.g., an enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine type communication, or ultra-reliable/low-latency application to a communications network thereby. Alternatively, multiple physical downlink control channels may be blindly demodulated at each of a number calculated reference signal locations, and one channel selected based on passing a cyclic redundancy check.

  • Patent number: 10586481
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for hiding information in an image. A first pixel point and a second pixel point that are adjacent in an image are extracted. A first sub-pixel of the first pixel point and a second sub-pixel of the second pixel point that are to be combined during display on a display device are determined, wherein the display device determines a combined pixel value according to pixel values of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel in a predefined manner. Information is hidden using parity properties of a sum of pixel values of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel while the combined pixel value determined according to pixel values of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel in the predefined manner is kept unchanged. By using unique display characteristics of a display device, information is hidden in an image without changing display effect of the image on the display device.
