  • Patent number: 12237983
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a network conflict management service that is associated with a network management engine of a cloud computing system. In operation, cross-premises networking information is accessed at a cross-premises networking information database. The cross-premises networking information comprises on-premise network extension data associated with managing and routing on-premise networks and a cloud-provider network. Networking information for a first network is retrieved from the cross-premise networking information database. The networking information of the first network is compared to networking information of a second network, the networking information of the second network (e.g., networking information associated with a request to create the second network). Based on comparing the networking information of the first network to the networking information of the second network, a determination is made that a network conflict exists.

The data packet may have no load part, or the data packet has a load part but the load part is used to carry a slave address, a read/write flag, or I2C data. Because the I2C status is indicated in the packet header of the data packet, the I2C status may be encapsulated in a same data packet together with the slave address, the read/write flag, or the I2C data. In other words, the I2C status may not need to occupy one data packet separately.

  • Patent number: 11888734
    Abstract: A mixed Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network includes both extension header capable (EH capable) nodes and EH non-capable nodes. A first EH capable node receives advertised capabilities of a downstream node. These advertised capabilities indicate whether the downstream node is EH capable. The first EH capable node receives a packet to be transmitted to the downstream node via the MPLS network, and determines whether the packet includes an extension header (EH). The node inserts an EH label into an MPLS label stack of the packet after determining the advertised capabilities of the downstream node indicate that the downstream node is EH capable, and after determining the packet does not include the EH.

  • Patent number: 11849437
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems to facilitate management of carriers to help ensure QoS for single-carrier UEs. In particular, a base station may serve one or more first user equipment devices (UEs) on just a first carrier. While doing so, the base station may determine that each of the one or more first UEs being served on just the first carrier is receiving threshold low quality of service from the base station on the first carrier. Responsive to this determining, the base station may (i) select one or more second UEs based on the one or more second UEs being served by the base station on both the first carrier and one or more other carriers and (ii) discontinue serving each selected second UE on the first carrier while continuing to serve each selected second UE on one or more other carriers.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for partial retransmission are provided. According to one aspect, a method for receiving, at a receiver, a partial retransmission from a sender, comprises: receiving a control information message indicating a second transmission to be received, the second transmission comprising retransmitted data, the retransmitted data comprising a retransmission of a portion of a first transmission; receiving the second transmission; determining, based on a mapping indicator, a location of the retransmitted data within the second transmission; and decoding the retransmitted data at the determined location within the second transmission. The mapping indicator may be received as part of the control information message or may be received separately from the control information message. In one embodiment, the combination of the control information and the mapping indicator indicates what portions of the first transmission are being retransmitted and where they are located within the second transmission.

  • Patent number: 11838847
    Abstract: A control signal used for selecting a parent node in a tree route is transmitted from a first wireless node among a plurality of wireless nodes which constitute a backhaul network. Second wireless nodes each select, as a parent node, one of transmission source nodes of a plurality of control signals on the basis of an index indicating the radio wave propagation quality of a route through which each of the control signals received from different route has been propagated. Fixed wireless nodes among the second wireless nodes each transmit the received control signal to the other second wireless nodes, and a movable wireless node among the second wireless nodes terminates the received control signal.
