  • Patent number: 12120739
    Abstract: In 5G and 6G, users at high traffic density can be forced to delay transmissions to avoid collisions, and by convention the delay interval is increased upon each instance. This convention penalizes those who have been delayed the most, resulting in excessive latency, gross unfairness, and the blocked-node problem whereby certain users are denied access indefinitely. Disclosed are improved protocols whereby users can delay by shorter intervals upon each successive backoff, thereby reducing overall delays, greatly reducing message failure rates, and providing enhanced fairness overall. The protocols detailed herein can enable wireless users to communicate with fewer and shorter interference delays, while the base station can clear the waiting list sooner, and network operations can be improved generally. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11722458
    Abstract: A method and a system of restricting data packet transmission of an apparatus at a network node. The network node, during a first time period, updates a whitelist and does not restrict data packet transmission according to the whitelist. After the first time period, the network node determines corresponding destination address of each of the data packets and allows the data packets to be sent to the corresponding destination address if a criteria is satisfactory. The network node does not allow the data packets to be sent to the corresponding destination address if the criteria is not satisfactory. The whitelist is comprised of at least one destination address. The criteria is based on the at least one destination address. The whitelist list is stored in non-transitory computer readable storage medium in the network node.

  • Patent number: 11696330
    Abstract: A network node (300), a wireless device (304) and methods therein, for handling interference in a wireless network where a Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, scheme is employed to control transmissions. The network node (300) determines whether a first wireless device (302) is compatible with a second wireless device (304) at a serving network node (300) so that uplink signals transmitted (3:1A, 3:2A) from the wireless devices (302, 304) are spatially separable at the serving network node (300). An LBT-related message is then transmitted (3:4A) to the first wireless device (302), which message indicates that the wireless devices (302, 304) are compatible or incompatible at the serving network node (300). The second wireless device (304) is then able to detect (3:4A), i.e. overhear, the LBT-related message and use it as a basis for deciding (3:5) whether to perform a transmission or not.

  • Patent number: 11671211
    Abstract: Provided are a transmission method, apparatus and system and a computer-readable storage medium. The transmission method includes creating an automatic repeat request process for a first packet; setting a lifetime for the automatic repeat request process; and sending the first packet. The lifetime is set for the automatic repeat request process so that the automatic repeat request process can be removed in time. In this manner, in the case where a limited number of automatic repeat request processes are simultaneously supported, a new automatic repeat request process can be created for a newly transmitted packet in time, and thus the transmission efficiency is improved.

  • Patent number: 11616696
    Abstract: A system for negotiating Ethernet link settings between interconnected nodes in a network having an Ethernet protocol stack that includes a PCS sub-layer with an auto-negotiation function. The system comprises connecting an intermediate device coupled between two network nodes via optical or copper interfaces, with the link settings between each node and the connected intermediate device being the same, thereby bypassing the auto-negotiation of the PCS sub-layer in the intermediate device. The intermediate device may transparently send negotiation messages from each node to the other during the link negotiation phase without interacting with those messages. Instead of the intermediate device, a single form pluggable (SFP) device may be connected between the two network nodes via optical or copper interfaces on the network side and via an SFP slot on the device side.
