Patent number: 11812449Abstract: Some techniques and apparatuses described herein permit a user equipment (UE) to signal a capability corresponding to a number of active beams (e.g., active uplink beams) to a base station so that the UE may be appropriately configured, and so that the UE may communicate with the base station accordingly. Furthermore, some techniques and apparatuses described herein permit a UE and/or a base station to apply one or more rules and/or conditions to assist with ensuring that a UE capability, corresponding to a number of active beams (e.g., active uplink beams), is not violated, or to prevent the UE from communicating on a beam that is invalid due to a violated UE capability. Furthermore, some techniques and apparatuses described herein permit a UE and a base station to perform a beam management procedure upon beam activation to ensure that a beam is of sufficient quality for communications.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yan Zhou, Tao Luo, Peter Gaal

Patent number: 11809395Abstract: Systems and methods are described for balancing workloads and reliably delivering data to a plurality of indexing systems in a data intake and query system. A topic-based indexing system load balancer may receive event data from various data sources, each of which may be associated with a topic. The event data may be entirely unparsed, unparsed but divided into events, or parsed into events. The topic-based indexing system load balancer may distribute the received event data on a per-topic or per-event basis to a set of indexing systems, and may distribute topics and events based on the volume received. Unparsed data may be divided into portions, and the topic-based indexing system load balancer may ensure that portions data associated with the same topic are delivered to the same indexer so that events split between two portions may be recombined and indexed.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Jeff Fan, Daniel Ferstay, Denis Vergnes

Patent number: 11811867Abstract: Provided is a method, computer program product, and system for determining data transmission paths across storage systems based on replication path capability. A processor may collect buffer data from a source storage device and one or more target storage devices, the source storage device and the one or more target storage devices being communicatively coupled via a network. The processor may calculate, using the buffer data, a set of buffer capacities for a set of replication paths used for replicating data between the source storage device and the one or more target storage devices. The processor may correlate, using the set of buffer capacities, the set of replication paths with a set of tiered data to be replicated. Once correlated, the processor may select a first replication path for replicating a first tier of data from the set of tiered data.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kushal S.

Patent number: 11811720Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein provide a method for efficiently propagating address resolution reply messages. A first router in a first network receives an address resolution request message from a second router in a second network. The first router generates an entry for the address resolution request message and stores the entry in a pending address resolution requests table. When the first router receives a route advertisement, it extracts a network layer address from the route advertisement and determines whether the pending address resolution requests table includes an entry for the network layer address. If so, the router extracts a link layer address from the route advertisement and generates an address resolution reply message comprising the network layer address and the link layer address. The router then transmits the address resolution reply message to the second router.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: ARISTA NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Amit Dattatray Ranpise, Kamlesh Raghuvanshi, Kallol Mandal, Rajesh Kumar Semwal, Alton Lo

Patent number: 11805077Abstract: A method and apparatus of a network element that processes control plane data in a network element is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the network element receives control plane data and determines a class of the control plane data. In addition, the network element marks the control plane data based on at least on an existence of an indication of whether the network element had previously processed other data in the same class as the class of the control plane data. Furthermore, the network element queues the control plane data.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: ARISTA NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Francois Labonte, Hugh W.

Patent number: 11799922Abstract: An anchoring network device of a telecommunications network can receive a first initiation request of a communication session and determine a second request indicating a different media capability than the first request. A network gateway can modify packets of the session, e.g., by transcoding between the capabilities. In some examples, the anchoring device can determine that a codec list of the initiation request corresponds to a rewrite rule. The device can apply the rewrite rule to the request to provide a second request listing a second, different codec. In some examples, the anchoring device can determine if there is a common media capability between the first initiation request and a predetermined exclusion list. If not, the second request can include at least one capability not in the first request, e.g., an Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) Channel-Aware-mode (ChAw) codec.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Homer Nicolas B.
