  • Publication number: 20230336631
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a system for capability negotiation, and a storage medium, and relates to the communication field. The method includes: a first network entity obtains a capability update message, where the capability update message includes capability update information, and the capability update information indicates at least one capability to be updated of the first network entity. The first network entity sends the capability update message to the second network entity based on a capability negotiation session established between the first network entity and a second network entity. The embodiments can simplify a process of capability negotiation, thereby improving efficiency of capability negotiation, achieving dynamic negotiation of a capability, and reducing load of a PCC and a PCE.

  • Publication number: 20230283544
    Abstract: A service processing method includes that a first network device determines a second network device on a forwarding path of a packet based on a service requirement; the first network device sends a first message to the second network device, to establish a first connection to the second network device; and the first network device sends a second message to the second network device using the first connection, where the second message requests the second network device to assist in determining information related to the forwarding path. when determining the second network device is needed to assist the first network device for information related to the forwarding path of the packet, the first network device actively establishes a connection to the second network device, and requests, using the established connection, the second network device to assist the first network device in determining the information related to the forwarding path.

  • Publication number: 20230283545
    Abstract: A method for obtaining path association information, a device, and a system are provided, and belong to the field of network technologies. A first network device generates a packet carrying template indication information, and sends the packet to a second network device. After receiving the packet, the second network device determines, based on the template indication information carried in the packet, a target template associated with a target forwarding path, and performs, based on the target template, an operation associated with the target forwarding path. In this way, the first network device may include template indication information corresponding to different templates in a packet, to indicate different receiving network devices to determine a target template associated with a target forwarding path, and determine, based on the target template, association information such as a path attribute or a path constraint associated with the target forwarding path.

  • Patent number: 11506317
    Abstract: A mounting device facilitates connecting an Internet of Things (IoT) device, such as thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) and automatic temperature balanced actuator (ABA), to a hydronic heating/cooling system to control the temperature of a room by changing the flow of hot/cold water through radiator. The mounting devices includes a male section and a female section, which is attached to the IoT device. The mounting device may be installed in two stages. First, a male section is attached to a component of the hydronic heating/cooling system (for example, a valve or manifold) by threading the male section onto the component. Second, a female section, is positioned to male section and locked into place by rotating a rotary sleeve. The female section (with the IoT device) may be easily removed by rotating the rotary sleeve into an unlock position.

  • Patent number: 11371721
    Abstract: A thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) assembly or automatic temperature balanced actuator (ABA) assembly controls a manifold assembly through a push pin bearing mechanism. The push pin bearing mechanism comprises a push pin that moves in a linear direction responsive to rotational movement of a motor gear that is coupled through a helical gear. Rotational movement of the push pin is prevented by a ball bearing assembly. Movement of the push pin is transferred to a manifold pin, which in turn, controls the manifold assembly. Because the push pin moves in a linear rather than a rotational fashion, erosion of the mated manifold pin is substantially reduced with respect to transitional approaches.

  • Patent number: 6807239
    Abstract: Adders each add up an addition value sent from a metric calculator and a state metric read from a memory. A maximum value selector generates a first likelihood when a data bit is 1, based on the addition values added up by the adders. A maximum value selector generates a second likelihood when a data bit is 0, based on the addition values added up by the adders. A subtracter subtracts the second likelihood from the first likelihood to generate a likelihood ratio, and a subtracter subtracts data from the likelihood ratio and generates extrinsic information. A re-normalizer multiplies the extrinsic information by a predetermined value to re-normalize it and temporarily stores it in a memory. The extrinsic information stored in the memory is used as the prior probability information for the next iterative decoding.
