  • Patent number: 11916620
    Abstract: A radio network sends downlink signaling to a user equipment (UE) that triggers an enhanced uplink beam selection protocol, based on quality of the UE's uplink signaling the network receives according to a basic uplink beam selection protocol. In response the UE transmits pre-defined signaling such as uplink beam references signals (U-BRS) with uplink beams according to the downlink signaling. The network measures and selects one or more of those uplink beams for the UE to use for sending uplink data, and notifies this selection to the UE. In various embodiments the basic uplink beam selection protocol is based on uplink-downlink reciprocity, the downlink triggering signaling is dynamic and further selects a subset of uplink beams, and multiple UEs can be triggered in common signaling where blind decoding by the UEs is enabled via a scrambling ID for this enhanced uplink beam selection protocol purpose.

  • Patent number: 11882200
    Abstract: In a rule based header compression system such as a SCHC compressor/decompressor, a controller is provided which provides “hints” to the header compression processor, so as to direct its behaviour. These hints may define new rules, modify existing rules, set state values against which rules are tested during compression, prioritise rules or exclude rules from consideration to achieve optimum compression. The controller may dynamically generate rules on the basis of learned of detected flow characteristics to achieve optimum compression. The controller may operate as a state machine, which may define states corresponding to different degrees of compression for a given flow or flow type. The system comprises multiple compressors, some or all of which may be remote from the compression processor.

    Abstract: To compress headers efficiently, headers may be differentially encoded. In one embodiment, a difference between a current field and a reference field can be used in a reduced header. In another embodiment, the least significant bits of the current field can be used to represent the current field. When such a field is received, the most significant bits of a reference field are needed to de compress the field. In addition, the present principles determine the typical usage scenarios that may benefit from header compression and further determine that some fields can be removed in a reduced header or be represented by fewer bits. Header compression may impose constraints on the representation of the current field. The present principles recognize constraints on using reduced headers and provide rules and guidelines on applying header compression.

  • Patent number: 9537977
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to techniques for referencing a change in data utilizing a network resource locator. An interface component can receive one or more requests that are associated with a data set from a client, and send, based on the one or more requests, a network resource locator and at least one portion of the data set to the client. Further, a data service component can compute a parameter that is associated with a change of the data set, and include the parameter in the network resource locator. In other embodiments, the data service component can receive a request utilizing the network resource locator, determine the change of the data set based on the parameter, and send the change of the data set to the client.

  • Patent number: 9538426
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for optimizing ROHC RTP (Robust Header Compression Real Time Protocol) compression applied to IP header of data packets stream so as to use more compact formats enable to remain in a steady state, to never discard received packet, and serve radio resources without requiring to modify ROHC specification. In the method, when handover or mobility procedure is stated, new reference values are normally added to a sliding compression window, but no reference value is removed from the window as long as the handover or mobility procedure is ongoing. After the handover or mobility procedure is complete, when the number of values transmitted on the new radio link are appropriate to cope against the error properties on the new link, all older values can be removed at once from the compression window, thereby reverting to normal window operation.

  • Patent number: 9461913
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method for transmitting a message in a data path of a network, the method includes transmitting a message onto an input bus of an input interface module, the message being received in flits of a size corresponding to the width of the input bus and generating a validity indicator for each elementary flit constituting each flit received. The message is transmitted onto an output bus of the input interface module towards a receiving interface module in flits of a size corresponding to the width of the output bus along with each validity indicator generated in association with the corresponding elementary flit. The receiving interface module receives flits constituting the message and the associated validity indicators and rejects a received flit if an elementary flit of the received flit is associated with a validity indicator in the invalid state.

  • Patent number: 9379886
    Abstract: A sample rate converter and a method of converting a sample rate are disclosed herein. The sample rate converter includes a data delay unit, a clock rate conversion unit, a Lagrange polynomial filter unit, a resample position calculation unit, and a resample position compensation unit. The data delay unit delays signals in response to an input clock signal. The clock rate conversion unit converts the sample rate of the signals. The Lagrange polynomial filter unit performs a filtering function on the signals whose rate has been converted. The resample position calculation unit outputs the value (Dint, dfrac) of the resample position of the signals based on a set resample ratio value. The resample position compensation unit corrects the error value of the signals by applying the value (Dint, dfrac) to the signals, and outputs a final signal.

For example, a method includes: receiving a data stream comprising a set of VoIP packets; and modifying a Real Time Protocol (RTP) header of at least one of said VoIP packets to modify a jitter buffer delay of said data stream. Optionally, the method includes decreasing the jitter buffer delay by: dropping at least one packet from said data stream; and decreasing a sequence number and a timestamp value in an RTP header of at least one additional packet subsequent to said at least one packet. Optionally, the method includes increasing the jitter buffer delay by: identifying a pair of consecutive packets in the incoming data stream, the pair of consecutive packets having consecutive sequence numbers; and increasing a sequence number in an RTP header of at least a latter packet in said pair of consecutive packets.

  • Patent number: 9026427
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating side information for grammar-based data compression systems, such as YK compression systems, is described. An admissible grammar (G) for an input sequence (A(S0)) having a finite set of terminal symbols is obtained. A graph representation of the admissible grammar (G) is then constructed. An edge having a lowest weight (expansion frequency), or one not possessing the shortest distance and or shortest expanded sequence length, is then pruned from the graph representation to generate a pruned graph representation. A pruned grammar (G?) is then derived by removing the occurrence corresponding to the pruned edge from the grammar G and the starting variable (S0,i) of the pruned grammar (Gi) is then expanded to generate the side information.
