  • Patent number: 11632691
    Abstract: A method and system to help facilitate communication between a user equipment device (UE) and an access node that is serving the UE, in a scenario where a bearer is configured for the UE, the bearer having a defined set of quality-of-service (QoS) requirements for communication of user-plane data on the bearer. When wireless coverage of the UE from the access node is threshold poor, the access node and a supporting core network could interwork to loosen the set of QoS requirements of the bearer in an effort to avoid loss of the bearer. And upon loosening of the set of QoS requirements, the access node could invoke Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) duplication for the communication between the UE and the access node on the bearer, to help improve quality of the communication between the UE and the access node in presence of the threshold poor wireless coverage.

  • Patent number: 11522786
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide an example method in which a first measurement packet can be generated. The first measurement packet includes link resource indication information, and the link resource indication information in the first measurement packet is configured to indicate each node on a forwarding path of the first measurement packet to perform local link resource measurement. In those embodiment, the first measurement packet can be sent to a next device on the forwarding path, where the first measurement packet includes local link resource information measured by the first device. Still in those embodiments, until the first measurement packet is forwarded to a third device by each node on the forwarding path of the first measurement packet, the third device receives the first measurement packets sent on different forwarding paths, and determines a path meeting the link resource indication information.

  • Patent number: 11509548
    Abstract: A method includes establishing communication between a first user device and a second user device using a first codec and filtering an input signal indicating an estimated unfiltered available bandwidth for the communications by applying a current filter including one of a first filter when the estimated unfiltered available bandwidth is less than a first threshold value or greater than a second threshold value or a second filter when the estimated unfiltered available bandwidth is between and including the first and second threshold values. The method includes adaptively switching the current filter as a function of the filtered input signal and the first and second threshold values. When the filtered input signal satisfies a channel bandwidth threshold for at least a predetermined period of time, the method includes switching from using the first codec to using a second codec for the communication between the first and second user devices.

  • Patent number: 11497920
    Abstract: Techniques for mitigating transmission of stale data from an implantable device are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring one or more data items stored in a data management queue prior to submission to a packet transmission queue for transmission as packets on a communication network to one or more other devices. The method also includes discarding a data item from the data management queue based on a determination that the data item has an expected arrival time to another device that is after a latest acceptable arrival time associated with the data item. The method also includes estimating a size of the packet transmission queue, and transmitting another data item from the data management queue to the packet transmission queue based on a determination that the size of the packet transmission queue has a defined relationship to the threshold size.

  • Patent number: 11503493
    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from enhanced cell capacity. For example, certain embodiments may benefit from improved packet capacity by managing transmissions in a cell. A method, in certain embodiments, may include determining at a network node whether a packet is of a service type. The service type may indicate that the packet is discardable. The method may also include calculating at the network node a probability factor or a scheduling adjustment factor for transmission of the packet, when it is determined that the packet is of the service type. In addition, the method may include determining at the network node whether to transmit the packet to a user equipment based on the probability factor, or adjusting at the network node a scheduler metric based on the scheduling adjustment factor.

  • Patent number: 11497000
    Abstract: Aspects directed towards network-assisted sidelink scheduling are disclosed. In one example, a scheduled entity receives coverage status information of a peer user equipment (UE), and transmits a coverage status report to a network in which the coverage status report is based on the coverage status information received from the peer UE. The scheduled entity receives a resource scheduling from the network in response to transmitting the coverage status report, and establishes a sidelink communication with the peer UE based on the resource scheduling. In another example, a scheduling entity receives a coverage status report from a UE in which the coverage status report is associated with a peer UE of the UE. The scheduling entity determines a resource scheduling for the UE based on the coverage status report to facilitate a sidelink communication between the UE and the peer UE, and transmits the resource scheduling to the UE.

  • Patent number: 11487969
    Abstract: Privacy-preserving federated learning apparatuses, systems, computer program products, and methods are provided that generate an updated global model based on a set of client models while maintaining privacy regarding the data values embodying each client model and the updated global model. In this regard, masked client models are utilized, which cryptographically obfuscate data values embodying the client model while still enabling combination, or “aggregation,” of the masked client models to generate a masked updated global model. The masked updated global model similarly includes obfuscated data values embodying the updated global model, but may be unmasked to reveal the true values of the updated global model for use. Some embodiments utilize specific steps for communication between environments, systems, devices, and/or the like, to ensure the masked models can only be unmasked by intended entities.
