    Abstract: A method for connecting a node of a wireless-communication coverage-extension system is provided. The node determines whether it has been moved out of an initial local area network. In the case where the node has been moved, a local area network is established from the moved node by activating an address server functionality. The moved node is then connected to a point of access to the internet. A secure tunnel is next established between the moved node and a master node coordinating the initial local area network. The address server functionality is then deactivated and a client functionality of an address server of the initial local area network is activated.

  • Patent number: 11989530
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for achieving physically dispersed item-dispersal patterns in queue tables that are used as circular buffers in a FIFO system. The techniques achieve the physically dispersed item-dispersal patterns while retaining FIFO semantics, efficient data ingest, efficient data access, and low latency for both fixed and variable-size ingest data. Because consecutively inserted rows are written to physically dispersed locations on persistent storage, lock contention between concurrent ingest sessions is significantly reduced. Once a physically dispersed item-dispersal pattern is established for a first set of inserted rows, subsequent rows are added by overwriting the existing rows. The physical dispersal of the initial rows may be accomplished by setting values in a slot number column such that updates that are made in a sequence that is based on the slot number column exhibit a desired physical dispersal pattern.

  • Patent number: 11838149
    Abstract: Disclosed methods define VLAN time slots for one or more VLANs within an HCI environment. A management resource may control virtual application access to each VLAN in accordance with the VLAN time slots wherein only one virtual application may connect to the VLAN during a VLAN time slot. Disclosed methods may define VLAN time slots for each of the plurality of virtual applications. The VLAN time slots may be defined dynamically, wherein durations of the VLAN time slots may be re-calculated each VLAN cycle. A duration of the VLAN time slot for a particular virtual application may be determined based on the number of packets transmitted by the virtual application during a previous VLAN cycle. Each VLAN time slot may include an active interval, for transmitting packets, and an inactive interval.

  • Patent number: 11838232
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support configuration of aperiodic sounding reference signal transmission and triggering. A base station may transmit, within a first transmission time interval (TTI), a grant triggering a user equipment (UE) to transmit an aperiodic sounding reference signal (A-SRS), and may identify offset information indicating a TTI offset relative to the grant. The base station may determine a second TTI for the A-SRS based on the TTI offset. A UE may detect, within a first TTI, the grant triggering the UE to transmit the A-SRS, identify the offset information indicating the TTI offset relative to the grant, and determine the second TTI for transmitting the A-SRS based on the TTI offset. The UE may transmit the A-SRS in an SRS resource of the second TTI, and the base station may monitor the SRS resource of the second TTI for the A-SRS.

  • Patent number: 11799793
    Abstract: Systems and techniques, including special messages and state machines, are described that configures an intermediate site to dynamically trigger creation of and removal of a dynamic conduit between two sites based on usage that is tracked at the sites. The intermediate site providing WAN-to-WAN forwarding between the two sites, monitors throughput statistics on each local WAN link (LWL) associated with the two sites. If traffic between the two sites passes a configured first threshold or if LWL usage passes a configured second threshold, the intermediate site sends a message to the two sites to set up a dynamic conduit directly coupling the two sites. Busy lists are used to keep track of eligible site pairs. Once a dynamic conduit is set up between two sites, a grow technique tests the dynamic conduit increasing communication flows between the two sites each configured sampling period before putting the conduit in normal use.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for sidelink communication in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). For example, a first WTRU configured with first and second resource pools may perform at least one congestion measurement of the second resource pool. The first resource pool may be configured for use by the first WTRU for transmission of the first data. The second resource pool may be configured for use by a second WTRU for transmission of the second data associated with a higher priority than the first data. If the at least one congestion measurement of the second resource pool is below a predetermined threshold, the first WTRU may transmit the first data using the first resource pool. If the at least one congestion measurement of the second resource pool is above a predetermined threshold, the first US may not transmit the first data using the first resource pool.

  • Patent number: 11792886
    Abstract: A first network node having gained access to a preset network receives a probe message broadcast by a second network node seeking access to the preset network. The probe message carries a second Internet Protocol (IP) address of the second network node. If the probe message includes a configuration mechanism identifier, the first network node unicasts a reply message of the probe message to the second network node based on the second IP address. The reply message carries a first IP address of the first network node. The first IP address is configured for establishing a network communication channel between the second network node and the first network node. The first network node sends network configuration information to the second network node through the network communication channel. The network configuration information is configured to allow the second network node to access the preset network.

  • Patent number: 11765074
    Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of hybrid message matching is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a host interface, a hardware endpoint, and an endpoint management logic block. The host interface can couple the NIC to a host device. The hardware endpoint can facilitate a point of communication for an application running on the host device. The endpoint management logic block can maintain a list for storing a message associated with an endpoint represented by the hardware endpoint. The endpoint management logic block can then determine whether the utilization of the list is higher than a threshold. If the utilization is higher than the threshold, the endpoint management logic block can set a state of the endpoint to indicate that the endpoint is software managed. The NIC thus can transfer the control of the endpoint from the hardware endpoint to a software process of the host device.
