For this end, the UE transmits first multiple random access preambles for a random access procedure to the network, and monitors random access responses respectively corresponding to each of the first multiple random access preambles during each of multiple random access response reception windows. The UE transmits second multiple random access preambles for the random access procedure to the network, if a random access response reception of the first multiple random access preambles is determined as not successful. Here, the random access response reception is determined as not successful, when none of the random access responses is successfully received until a last random access response reception window among the multiple random access response reception windows ends.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2017Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Seungjune Yi, Sunyoung Lee

Patent number: 11290360Abstract: A distributed system may implement analyzing resource placement fragmentation for capacity planning. Capacity planning may determine when, where, and how much capacity to implement for a distributed system that hosts resources. Placement constraints for resources may, over time, create fragmentation or stranded capacity which is available yet unusable to host new resources. Analyzing capacity fragmentation across a distributed system may allow a determination of available capacity that is actually available to host additional resources. In some embodiments, future resource placements may be estimated in order to perform capacity fragmentation analysis to determine available capacity.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Magee Greenwood, Surya Prakash Dhoolam, Mitchell Gannon Flaherty, Nishant Satya Lakshmikanth

Patent number: 11288390Abstract: Techniques for generating and using reader-friendly policy statements are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a policy management service receives a request for an authorization policy in a language-localized syntax. The policy management service identifies a syntax graph corresponding to the authorization policy and traverses the syntax graph to obtain at least a requestor variable value associated with the authorization policy, an action variable value associated with the authorization policy, a resource variable value associated with the authorization policy, and a location variable value associated with the authorization policy. The policy authorization service generates a reader-friendly policy statement in the language-localized syntax using the requestor variable value, the action variable value, the resource variable value, and the location variable value. Responsive to the request, the policy authorization service provides the reader-friendly policy statement.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Helali Bhuiyan, Daniel M.

Patent number: 11277341Abstract: According to one aspect, a method includes obtaining a segment routing (SR) packet from an endpoint via a first router at a first server along a path, the SR packet including an SR list and a last address, the last address being an address of a requested service. The method also includes determining, at the first server, whether the requested service is available from the first server, wherein determining whether the requested service is available from the first server includes opening the SR packet, parsing an SR header of the SR packet, and performing a lookup in a service table. Finally, the method includes modifying the SR packet at the first server when it is determined that the requested service is not available from the first server; and forwarding the SR packet along the path.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: William Mark Townsley, Andre Surcouf

Patent number: 11277719Abstract: The present disclosure provides a band usage information generating and reporting method, a charging method, an eNB, a CN, a MME and a UE. The eNB and the UE can generate band usage information for charging, and report the band usage information to the CN, wherein the band usage information involves band usage of at least a first band and a second band, and traffic is assigned to respective bands by the eNB. The Counting entity at the eNB or UE can count the data volume of each band or ratio of data volume via different bands as the band usage information based on the scheduling information of the data. The Charging system located in the CN can process the charging and generate a bill according to the reported band usage information.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Corporation of AmericaInventors: Li Wang, Hidetoshi Suzuki, Prateek Basu Mallick, Lilei Wang, Jens Bachmann, Takako Hori, Masayuki Hoshino, Chi Gao, Michael Einhaus

Patent number: 11265916Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate to the use of a Device-to-Device (D2D) sidelink, e.g., in a licensed spectrum, to assist with clear channel assessment in an unlicensed spectrum. In doing so, the hidden node problem and/or the exposed node problem can be mitigated. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a wireless device in a cellular communications network comprises performing a sidelink-assisted clear channel assessment (SLA-CCA) procedure to determine whether to transmit on an unlicensed channel. The SLA-CCA procedure is a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) procedure that is assisted by information received by the wireless device from one or more other wireless devices over a D2D sidelink in a licensed spectrum. The method further comprises, upon determining to transmit on the unlicensed channel as a result of performing the SLA-CCA procedure, transmitting a transmission on the unlicensed channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Gabor Fodor, Håkan Björkegren, Fredrik Gunnarsson, Jonas Kronander, Bo Lincoln, Anders Wallén
