  • Patent number: 12382502
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a random access response method and an apparatus. The method includes: RARs associated with one RO are transmitted based on groups, so that a transport block size of RAR data transmitted each time is reduced, and N bits in DCI format 1_0 of CRC are scrambled by using a RA-RNTI to indicate scheduling information of N RAR groups in a PDSCH. Alternatively, DCI format 1_0 of CRC is scrambled by using identifiers of RAR groups, to correspondingly schedule the RAR groups in the PDSCH. According to this application, a problem of a large transport block caused by a large quantity of RARs being transmitted in a PDSCH can be avoided, so that a modulation order or a bit rate is reduced, and demodulation performance of a terminal device is improved.

  • Patent number: 12368453
    Abstract: A multi-stage process for homomorphic end-to-end data compression and encryption is claimed. The first stage analyzes input data, applies transformations to increase compressibility and security, produces conditioned data and error streams, transforms data into a dyadic distribution, creates a transformation matrix, performs Huffman coding, and combines Huffman-encoded data with a secondary transformation stream. A second stage further processes the compressed and encrypted output, either repeating the first stage's steps or using an autoencoder for additional compression. The system supports multiple compression stages, each building on the previous one. Decompression reverses these stages while maintaining homomorphic encryption throughout. This approach enables secure data transmission, storage, and analysis in bandwidth-constrained environments, adapting to various data types and compression levels while preserving data quality and security.

  • Patent number: 12355582
    Abstract: A comprehensive system for capturing multicast messaging traffic volume and performance metrics across a global inventory of hosts. A single instance of the data capturing and extraction tool may be configured to be implemented across an enterprise's entire inventory of multicast messaging-configured hosts. The data capturing and extraction tool dynamically extracts multicast group addresses and corresponding metrics during the scanning of the captured traffic volume and performance data, thus eliminating the need for manual input of specified multicast group addresses. As a result, presentation of metrics on a per multicast group address basis is made possible for all multicast group addresses extracted during the scanning process. In addition, an efficient means for polling the hosts for traffic volume and performance data is realized by only polling those non-primary and workstation hosts that are currently transmitting or receiving multicast messages.

  • Patent number: 12294457
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first peripheral device may receive audio stream packets sniffed from an owner audio stream assigned to a second peripheral device paired with the first peripheral device. The first peripheral device may receive a synchronization message from the second peripheral device that includes an owner packet bitmap that identifies packets in the owner audio stream. The first peripheral device may identify missed packets that the first peripheral device missed from the owner audio stream, based on a result of a comparison of the owner packet bitmap and a sniffer packet bitmap that identifies sniffed audio stream packets. The first peripheral device may transmit a response message indicating the missed packets. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Patent number: 12289260
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for wireless communication, and particularly, methods, devices and systems for physical (PHY) layer control signaling. A first physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) may precede a second PPDU. The first PPDU may be referred to as a PHY control PPDU and may include a physical layer control signaling field (CNT-SIG) that informs one or more stations (STAs) regarding a physical layer configuration they should use for the second PPDU. The PHY control PPDU may enable dynamic subchannel assignments for one or more identified STAs, legacy STAs, or sub-bandwidth operating devices. The techniques of this disclosure may enable sharing of a wide bandwidth wireless channel by different types of devices or different basic service sets (BSSs) assigned to different subchannels of the wireless channel.

  • Patent number: 12278703
    Abstract: Systems and methods for data transmission protocols are disclosed. For example, a receiving device is selected to send retransmission requests when data packet loss occurs, and then a unicast transmission of data packets may be sent to that selected receiving device. Other receiving devices may be configured to receive the unicast transmission as sent to the selected receiving device and to process the transmission as a multicast transmission. Alternatively, a multicast transmission may be sent to all of the receiving devices, and the selected receiving device may be configured to process the multicast transmission as a unicast transmission for the purpose of sending retransmission requests indicating packet loss. Backup packets may be generated and sent to all of the receiving devices to improve content output quality.
