Patent number: 11140025Abstract: Systems and techniques for mission critical (MC) push notification mechanism in a high-reliability (HR) information centric network (ICN) are described herein. For example, a node may test network links to other nodes to classify the other nodes into proximate nodes and non-proximate nodes based on a reception metric. The node may then elect a set of leader nodes from the proximate nodes. Here, the set of leader nodes are selected based on link quality between respective leader nodes and non-proximate nodes. The node may detect an MC event and create an ICN data packet that contains data from the MC event. The node may then transmit the ICN data packet to the set of leader nodes that then relay the ICN data packet to the non-proximate nodes.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Satish Chandra Jha, S.

Patent number: 11113959Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for vehicle technology that detects one or more differences between a crowdsourced map of an ambient environment and a real-time volumetric map of the ambient environment and sends a first message via a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) link, wherein the difference(s) are represented in the first message at a first resolution. Additionally, the vehicle technology sends a second message via a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) link, wherein the difference(s) are represented in the second message at a second resolution, and wherein the first resolution is less than the second resolution. Moreover, server technology may integrate a first octree representation and a second octree representation into a dynamic layer associated with the crowdsourced map.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: S M Iftekharul Alam, David I.

Patent number: 11044309Abstract: Techniques are provided for optimizing the operations of an ICN, particularly for an ICN with clustered nodes. A cluster head node may function as an orchestrator and a coordinator for efficient caching, routing, and computing and for co-existence of ICN and IP nodes in the network. A content store of an ICN router may include an indication of the time after which data expires and the new data is to be swapped in place of the expired data after that point in time. Digital rights management (DRM) enforcement is provided by managing access to a DRM engine in at least one of the ICN nodes in a cluster. Congestion control is provided by minimizing the number of ICN scoped interest requests and thereby minimizing the potentially high volume of data responses. These techniques optimize interest packet forwarding and processing through collaboration with neighboring ICN nodes.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Satish Chandra Jha, Kathiravetpillai Sivanesan, Ned M.

Patent number: 11019183Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for network access technology (NAT)-based packet network provenance. In disclosed embodiments, each node in a network encapsulates and/or encodes received packets with network interface information in addition to attestation information. The network interface information indicates a type of NAT used to forward the packet to a next node or hop in a network path. Each node in the network implements protocol stack that includes a multi-interface translation layer below a networking layer and above the layer 2 protocol stacks of various communication protocols. The multi-interface translation layer determines the type of NAT to be used to forward received packets to the next hop, and encapsulates the received packets with an indication of the determined NAT to be used to forward the packet. Other embodiments are disclosed and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: S. M. Iftekharul Alam

Patent number: 11006310Abstract: Systems and techniques for node-density aware interest packet forwarding in a dynamic ad hoc information centric network (ICN) are described herein. For example, a next interest packet to forward may be obtained at a network node. A time period to hold the next interest packet before forwarding may be calculated based on node density in the network. The node may then broadcast the next interest packet upon expiration of a timer set to the time period and started when the next interest packet was obtained.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: S.

Publication number: 20210116261Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for vehicle-occupancy-based and user-preference-based smart routing, and autonomous volumetric-occupancy measurement. In an embodiment, a system is configured to receive from a user device associated with a user, a routing-options request for routing options between two locations, and to responsively identify one or more routing options between the two locations based at least in part on occupancy data for a vehicle that would be utilized for at least a portion of at least one of the identified routing options. The occupancy data is based on an output of an automated occupancy-measurement system onboard the vehicle.

Publication number: 20210112417Abstract: V2X trusted agents provide technical solutions for technical problems facing falsely reported locations of connected vehicles within V2X systems. These trusted agents (e.g., trusted members) may be used to detect an abrupt physical attenuation of a wireless signal and determine whether the attenuation was caused by signal occlusion caused by the presence of an untrusted vehicle or other untrusted object. When the untrusted vehicle is sending a message received by trusted agents, these temporary occlusions allow trusted members to collaboratively estimate the positions of untrusted vehicles in the shared network, and to detect misbehavior by associating the untrusted vehicle with reported positions. Trusted agents may also be used to pinpoint specific mobile targets. Information about one or more untrusted vehicles may be aggregated and distributed as a service.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Florian Geissler, S M Iftekharul Alam, Yaser M.
