Patent number: 11582135Abstract: Systems and methods for constrained path computation in networks with connectivity and resource availability rules build the necessary constraints directly into the routing graph so that all paths found are by construction satisfying of all the constraints. This is in contrast to the conventional approach of finding multiple paths and then applying the constraints. The present disclosure efficiently addresses the necessary constraints in the routing graph. Path Computation Engine (PCE) performance in terms of time to return acceptable paths to the user generically degrades as network scale (typically expressed through length and number of paths) increases. The present disclosure keeps the input graph small even though the graphs have expanded functionality to address constraints.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Ciena CorporationInventors: Ankur Jain, John Wade Cherrington

Patent number: 11576210Abstract: A method of transmitting and receiving a signal for a random access channel (RACH) procedure by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes transmitting a message A including a physical random access channel (PRACH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and receiving a message B related to contention resolution in response to the message A. Transmission power for a retransmission of the message A is configured based on that a counter value related to the transmission power is incremented or maintained, the counter value is maintained based on that a transmission spatial filter related to the PRACH is changed for the retransmission of the message A, and the counter value is used for configuring the transmission power based on that the PRACH and the PUSCH are transmitted via the message A.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Jeongsu Lee, Hyunsoo Ko

Patent number: 11575609Abstract: A switch or network interface can detect congestion caused by a flow of packets. The switch or network interface can generate a congestion hint packet and send the congestion hint packet directly to a source transmitter of the flow of packets that caused the congestion. The congestion hint packet can include information that the source transmitter can use to determine a remedial action to attempt to alleviate or stop congestion at the switch or network interface. For example, the transmitter can reduce a transmit rate of the flow of packets and/or select another route for the flow of packets. Some or all switches or network interfaces between the source transmitter and a destination endpoint can employ flow differentiation whereby a queue is selected to accommodate for a flow's sensitivity to latency.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2019Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Arvind Srinivasan, Ramakrishna Huggahalli, Parthasarathy Sarangam, Sunil Ahluwalia, Mrittika Ganguli, Malek Musleh
