  • Patent number: 12250067
    Abstract: The precision time protocol (PTP) runs on the peer switches in an MLAG domain. PTP messages received by one peer switch on an MLAG interface is selectively peer-forwarded to the other peer switch on the same MLAG interface in order to coordinate a synchronization session with a PTP node. The peer-forwarded messages inform one peer switch to be an active peer and the other peer switch to be an inactive peer so that timestamped messages during the synchronization session are exchanged only between the PTP node the active peer, and hence take the same data path.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless node may transmit directional signals in a sweeping transmission pattern while receiving communications from a second wireless node. Another wireless node may then, during a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure, receive one of the directional signals, and terminate a correspondence communication session to avoid potential interference. Additionally or alternatively, a wireless node may listen in directions in a sweeping receive pattern while transmitting to a second wireless node. While listening, the wireless node may detect a transmission from a third wireless node in a particular direction. The wireless node may then accordingly refrain from transmitting in that direction to avoid potential interference.

  • Patent number: 11263050
    Abstract: A system generates electronic alerts through predictive analysis of resource conversions. The system may continuously monitor executed resource transfers to generate historical resource transfer data. Based on the historical resource transfer data, the system may generate a predicted outcome of executing transfers of resources in a first format compared to transfers of resources in a second format. The predicted outcome may then be implemented by the system to select a resource format for transfers occurring in the future and/or at specified intervals.

  • Patent number: 11178599
    Abstract: Wireless mesh networking protocols are taught that provide neighbor node discovery in a network utilizing directional transmissions. The established mesh network is utilized to trigger stations in the mesh network to assist in neighbor discovery. The new node joining the network then does not need to wait for beacons from other mesh nodes in starting the process to join the mesh network. In this way the discovery of available nodes is accelerated. Numerous variations and scenarios of the apparatus and method are described.

  • Patent number: 11089577
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication may include transmitting an uplink slot with a first control region, a second control region, and (e.g., optionally) a data region. Each region may include time resources and frequency resources. Transmitting the uplink slot may include transmitting the first control region in an earlier part of the uplink slot and transmitting the second control region (e.g., and the data region) in a later part of the uplink slot. The first control region may include time-critical control information and the second control region may include non-time-critical control information. A receiver receiving the uplink slot may receive the first control region before receiving the data region and the second control region.

  • Patent number: 11044308
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for dynamic communication protocol control in a communication environment. For example, a request is sent by a given processing node of a plurality of processing nodes to a computing system. Each of the plurality of processing nodes is operatively coupled to the computing system. Each of at least a subset of the plurality of processing nodes is configured to communicate via at least a first communication protocol with which each of the subset of the plurality of processing nodes share bandwidth. The request seeks usage of a given amount of additional bandwidth associated with the first communication protocol by the given processing node from one or more of the subset of processing nodes. One or more of the subset of processing nodes can then decide to cede the additional bandwidth to the given processing node and convert to using another communication protocol.

  • Patent number: 11026284
    Abstract: A timeout period for a base station to wait for a UE's response to bearer-setup messaging from the base station will be set based on an evaluation of how often the UE (or a class of UEs of which the UE is a member) has experienced bearer-setup failures. For instance, the base station could generally apply a default timeout period for waiting to receive bearer-setup response messaging from UEs. But for a given UE that has recently experienced a high rate of bearer-setup failures, the base station could apply a longer timeout period, to help cope with that UE's tendency to be slower to respond to the base station's bearer-setup messaging.

  • Patent number: RE50120
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for determining a block error rate (BLER) and determining if the BLER is significantly above, below or on BLER target. The method includes determining a pair of thresholds including an upper threshold and a lower threshold for a predetermined confidence level and determining a threshold in total number of blocks received. The method further includes determining a Required Compensation BLER from a number of bad blocks, a total number of blocks received and a maximum total number of blocks to receive for a purpose of statistical significance; comparing the Required Compensation BLER against the upper and lower threshold to determine if the BLER is significantly above the BLER target, below the BLER target or inconclusive; and, if the threshold in total number of blocks received is reached, then the inconclusive result is reinterpreted as the BLER being on target.
