  • Patent number: 12288096
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are directed to the implementation of configurable hierarchical schedulers with multiple levels, where each level may use one of several types of queueing mechanisms. A configurable, hierarchical scheduler is designed to handle large scale processing of requests (e.g., transmitting outgoing messages). The hierarchical scheduler distributes the loads to different queues handling different types of messages (e.g., by user ID, by Internet Address (IP), by schedule). The different layers of the hierarchical scheduler are configurable to queue and schedule traffic based on many factors, such as IP address, handling reputation, available downstream bandwidth, fairness, concurrency rates to handle multiple constraints, scheduling per client, time of delivery constrains, rate limits per user, domain scheduling per user, concurrency throttling per outbound channel, and sharing global rate limits across service processors.

  • Patent number: 12206717
    Abstract: Solutions are disclosed that provide for proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) awareness of access point name (APN) or data network name (DNN). This permits the P-CSCF to enforce policies regarding use of internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) resources, such as certain voice codecs (e.g., enhanced voice services, EVS) that use larger amounts of bandwidth, based on the APN/DNN assigned to a user equipment (UE). For example, certain IMS resources may be prioritized for home UEs over mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) UEs, or outbound roamers over inbound roamers, leveraging the P-CSCF's awareness of APN/DNN. In some examples, a packet gateway (PGW) or session management function (SMF) inserts APN/DNN information into a session initiation protocol (SIP) message going to the P-CSCF. In some examples, the P-CSCF retrieves APN/DNN information from a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) or a policy control function (PCF).

If the UE has received an uplink grant, a first type of channel state feedback information is transmitted to the base station on the granted resource. If, however, the UE has not received an uplink grant, a second type of channel state feedback information is transmitted to the base station. Different types of channel state feedback information enables a UE and an associated base station to use available resources more efficiently, when requesting for and delivering channel state feedback information.

  • Patent number: 12156200
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for managing uplink access in a wireless local area network. A station (STA) may inform an access point (AP) of uplink quality of service (QoS) parameters for a traffic flow from the STA. The AP may control uplink resources to satisfy the QoS parameters. For example, the AP may select from among different access modes (including a single user (SU) access mode, an uplink multi-user (UL-MU) scheduled access mode, a multi-user enhanced distributed controlled access (MU EDCA) access mode, or a low latency (LL) access mode). The AP may cause the STA to use a SU access mode or the LL access mode if the UL-MU scheduled access mode and the MU EDCA access mode are not sufficient to satisfy the uplink QoS parameters for the traffic flow.

  • Patent number: 12155981
    Abstract: A reduced-complexity optical packet switch which can provide a deterministic guaranteed rate of service to individual traffic flows is described. The switch contains N input ports, M output ports and N*M Virtual Output Queues (VOQs). Packets are associated with a flow f, which arrive an input port and depart on an output port, according to a predetermined routing for the flow. These packets are buffered in a VOQ. The switch can be configured to store several deterministic periodic schedules, which can be managed by an SDN control-plane. A scheduling frame is defined as a set of F consecutive time-slots, where data can be transmitted over connections between input ports and output ports in each time-slot. Each input port can be assigned a first deterministic periodic transmission schedule, which determines which VOQ is selected to transmit, for every time-slot in the scheduling frame.

  • Patent number: 12149455
    Abstract: A business method associates provisioning costs with a usage history indicative of user computing demand, and coalesces the cost data to identify an appropriate provisioning level balancing the provisioning cost and the usage demand cost. Conventional computing environments suffer from the shortcoming of being prone to overprovisioning or underprovisioning a user. Such misprovisioning is inefficient because it denotes underutilized computing resources or ineffective and/or disgruntled users. Costs increase either due to the excessive hardware bestowed on the overprovisioned user, or in support costs addressing the underprovisioned user. Configurations herein substantially overcome such shortcomings by defining a policy indicative of overprovisioning and underprovisioning indicators (misprovisioning flags), and defining rules to specify a triggering event indicating the need to reassess the provisioning of a user.

  • Patent number: 12141440
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes performing resynchronization (“resync”) jobs in a distributed storage system based on a parallelism policy. A resync job is obtained from a queue and input/output (I/O) resources that will be used during execution of the resync job are identified. Available bandwidth slots of each I/O resource of the identified I/O resources are determined. The parallelism policy is applied to the identified I/O resources and the available bandwidth slots. Based on the application of the parallelism policy, a bottleneck resource of the I/O resources is determined and a parallel I/O value is calculated based on the available bandwidth slots of the bottleneck resource, wherein the parallel I/O value indicates a quantity of I/O tasks that can be performed in parallel. The resync job is executed using the I/O resources, the execution of the resync job including performance of I/O tasks in parallel based on the parallel I/O value.

  • Patent number: 12137057
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for allocating computation capability. A network compute orchestrator (NCO) receives a request for service from a requester device. The NCO determines a required compute grade requirement for the service, and a maximum acceptable latency for the service. The NCO accesses a data structure that stores for each of a network arrangement of network devices: a number and type of available compute units, and latency to the requester device. The NCO selects a network device of the network arrangement of network devices that has an available compute unit meeting the required compute grade requirement, and has latency to the requester device that is lower than the maximum acceptable latency for the service. The NCO causes the selected network device of the network arrangement of network devices to perform the requested service for the requester device.

  • Patent number: 12127176
    Abstract: A reduced capacity (redcap) device may perform initial uplink communications, including transmitting a redcap physical uplink control channel (R-PUCCH), over an initial uplink bandwidth part (BWP) shared with a second device, the initial uplink BWP having a bandwidth (BW) larger than a maximum BW supported by the redcap device and smaller than or equal to a maximum BW supported by the second device. Frequency hopping operation for the redcap device may be supported for the R-PUCCH transmission through frequency division multiplexing and/or time division multiplexing settings for the resources used for the R-PUCCH transmission, and for PUCCH transmission by the second device. Restrictions may be implemented to create a gap for redcap devices to perform RF retuning between a physical RACH transmission and a subsequent physical control channel (e.g. PDCCH) monitoring for random access reception when the frequency gap is larger than the maximum BW supported by the redcap device.

  • Patent number: 12113842
    Abstract: A method of managing a network for delivering content to a client device, where content segments are delivered over multicast to a proxy. The received segments are stored at the proxy, before delivery of those segments is made from the proxy to the client device over unicast. Whilst the proxy receives further segments over multicast, it probes the network by making unicast requests for data (dummy data or additional content segments), and receiving those segments over unicast from the content server. The multicast rate reception rate and the unicast (probe) rate are measured and a maximum network throughput is calculated as the sum of these two rates. Subsequent segments are then delivered from the proxy to the client device at the calculated maximum network throughput rate, or at some rate dependent thereon.

  • Patent number: 12101219
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying nodes in a data center fabric that are affected by a failure in the fabric, and selectively sending disaggregation advertisements to the nodes affected by the failure. The techniques include a process where a component monitors the network fabric to identify communication paths between leaf nodes, and determines what leaf nodes would be affected by a failure in those communication paths. The component may detect a failure in the network and determine which communication paths, and thus which leaf nodes, are affected by the failure and send disaggregation advertisements to the affected leaf nodes. In some examples, ingress leaf nodes send data through the fabric that indicate egress nodes for the communication paths. Intermediate nodes along may receive the data from the leaf nodes to identify communication paths, and the notify only affected nodes upon detecting a failure in the network.
