Publication number: 20240121679Abstract: Improved techniques for selecting a handover target cell are described herein, for example in connection with a 5G disaggregated radio network. For example, in addition to evaluating signal quality metrics that are reported by the user equipment subject to the handover, the disclosed techniques can also evaluate additional metrics. For example, a load associated with potential target cells can be considered as neighbor load can cause handover issues. As another example, a history of success rates associated with a handover to the target cell and/or from the serving cell can be considered as well since handover failures can sometimes result due to issues that can be surfaced by the success rate history.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Vikas Arora, Ravi Sharma

Publication number: 20230344550Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards scheduling, by a distributed unit, the injection of custom traffic (signals/data) into a radio unit communications path. The distributed unit coordinates with the radio unit to schedule and synchronize such custom traffic in unscheduled (physical resource block), such as interleaved with to live-air and non-live-air traffic. The radio unit can request the unscheduled physical resource blocks for custom traffic to be inserted by the radio unit. Alternatively, the distributed unit can inject the custom traffic in otherwise unscheduled physical resource blocks for sending to the radio unit. The custom traffic is configured to perform some action by the radio unit, such as to perform antenna calibration, to perform test and measurement operations to obtain performance data, and the like. Performance data can be used, for example, to modify operating parameters of the radio unit to improve performance of the radio unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2022Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Tommy Ivarsson, Sewvanda Don, Vikas Arora, Thomas Leonard Trevor Plestid, Michael Roger, Nanping Ding, John Bradley Deforge, Haobo Xing

Patent number: 11507590Abstract: Techniques are introduced herein for maintaining geometry-type data on persistent storage and in memory. Specifically, a DBMS that maintains a database table, which includes at least one column storing spatial data objects (SDOs), also maintains metadata for the database table that includes definition data for one or more virtual columns of the table. According to an embodiment, the definition data includes one or more expressions that calculate minimum bounding box values for SDOs stored in the geometry-type column in the table. The one or more expressions in the metadata maintained for the table are used to create one or more in-memory columns that materialize the bounding box data for the represented SDOs. When a query that uses spatial-type operators to perform spatial filtering over data in the geometry-type column is received, the DBMS replaces the spatial-type operators with operators that operate over the scalar bounding box information materialized in memory.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Siva Ravada, Ying Hu, Zhen Hua Liu, Shasank Kisan Chavan, Aurosish Mishra, Vikas Arora

Patent number: 11409741Abstract: Functionalities of new data types are enabled for data stored using native data types (“recognized data types”) supported by DBMSs. Values having a latent data type may be stored using a recognized data type of a DBMS. That is, a value stored in a database table may be recognized by a DBMS as having a recognized data type (e.g., character string) but the value may also include information that indicates the value conforms to a particular latent data type. DBMSs compile database statements. The database statement can contain multiple expressions that may specify a latent data type or that may have a recognized data type but that also imply latent data types. By determining that various expressions have latent data types, operations that rely on the expressions as having a latent data type may be validated in a query and executed accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Beda Christoph Hammerschmidt, Zhen Hua Liu, Vikas Arora, Prakashkumar Thiagarajan, Douglas James McMahon

Patent number: 11226955Abstract: A “hybrid derived cache” stores semi-structured data or unstructured text data in an in-memory mirrored form and columns in another form, such as column-major format. The hybrid derived cache may cache scalar type columns in column-major format. The structure of the in-memory mirrored form of semi-structured data or unstructured text data enables and/or enhances access to perform path-based and/or text based query operations. A hybrid derived cache improves cache containment for executing query operations. The in-memory mirrored form is used to compute queries in a transactionally consistent manner through the use of an invalid vector that used to determine when to retrieve the transactionally consistent persistent form of semi-structured data or unstructured text data in lieu of the in-memory form.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2018Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Zhen Hua Liu, Aurosish Mishra, Shasank K.

Patent number: 11157478Abstract: The present invention relates to autonomous tuning of a data grid of documents in a database. Herein are techniques for storage cells to autonomously maintain local indices and other optimization metadata and algorithms to accelerate selective access into a distributed collection of documents. In an embodiment, each storage cell persists a respective subset of documents. Each storage cell stores, in memory, respective index(s) that map each item to location(s), in one or more documents of the respective subset of documents, where the item occurs. One or more computers execute, based on at least a subset of the indices of the storage cells, a data access request from a database management system. In an embodiment, a cloud of JSON document services provides an easy-to-use, fully autonomous JSON document database that horizontally and elastically scales to deliver fast execution of document transactions and queries without needing tuning by a database administrator.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Zhen Hua Liu, Vikas Arora, Ying Lu, Sriram Krishnamurthy, Hui Joe Chang, Beda Christoph Hammerschmidt, Joshua Jeffrey Spiegel
