Patent number: 11677510Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for managing an error correction mode at a first communications router. The first communication router transmits data packets to a second communications router and stores the first data packet in a local storage medium. When a delay inquiry message is received from the second communications router, the first communications router activates the error correction mode. When the error correction mode is activated, the first data packet is retransmitted to the second communications router and an error correction packet corresponding to the first data packet is also transmitted. When a back-to-normal message is received from the second communications router, the first communications router deactivates the error correction mode. The back-to-normal message indicates that the first communications router no longer needs to be in error correction mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Pismo Labs Technology LimitedInventors: Patrick Ho Wai Sung, Kam Chiu Ng, Ho Ming Chan

Patent number: 11664888Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to achieve dynamic bandwidth allocation among terminal groups (TGs) with proportional fairness in terms of both throughput and spectrum usage across a network. Quality of service (QoS) metrics for such TGs can be satisfied in terms of maximum throughput and spectrum utilization, while also satisfying QoS metrics such as latency, throughput, and prioritized traffic services for individual terminals within the TGs. A centralized bandwidth manager can be utilized to manage such dynamic bandwidth allocation across multiple Code Rate Organizers (CROs), including environments in which the multiple CROs manage communications across multiple IPGWs for multiple terminal groups. Because, in such environments, a given conventional CRO cannot effectively manage allocations across the entire network, the centralized bandwidth management functionality can be introduced to assess the flows for multiple TGs across multiple CROs and to make bandwidth allocations accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Jun Xu, Chandrasekhar Sangireddi, Robert James Torres, Thomas Jagodits, Sandeep Ahluwalia, Satyajit Roy, Amit Arora, Joseph Sanju George

Patent number: 11546874Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reducing network traffic in a mesh network by reducing the number of status messages communicated over the network. The nodes of the network can provide status information to a gateway based on each node's distance from the gateway. The closer nodes respond to the request from the gateway first and then the farther nodes respond to the request. When a node is ready to transmit a status message with status information to the gateway, the node sends the message to the nodes in communication with the transmitting node. One of the closer nodes that receives the message then forwards the message to additional nodes in communication with the forwarding node, while the other nodes that received the message do not forward the message. The process of forwarding messages by a single closer node is repeated until the status information is received by the gateway.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Synapse Wireless, Inc.Inventor: Jon Martin

Patent number: 11546264Abstract: A network device includes one or more communication ports, a packet processing circuit and an activity evaluation circuit. The one or more communication ports are configured to communicate packets over a network. The packet processing circuit is configured to process the packets. The activity evaluation circuit is configured to generate a sequence of multiple evaluation times independently of the packets, and, for each evaluation time among at least some of the evaluation times in the sequence, for any packet that is processed by the packet processing circuit at the evaluation time, to identify a session to which the packet belongs and issue an increment event associated with the identified session.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventors: Roni Bar Yanai, Eliezer Britstein, Guy Twaig

Patent number: 11546198Abstract: The present disclosure relates to multi-MAC controller and single PHY systems and methods. An example method may include transmitting, via a first device in a Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) network, a first block of data within a first time slot and at a first power level, the first power level being based on an attenuation of a first network tap device associated with the first device. The example method may also include transmitting, via a second device in the DOCSIS network, a second block of data within the first time slot and at a second power level, the second power level being based on an attenuation of a second network tap device associated with the second device, the first power level being different than the second power level.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventor: Jeff Finkelstein

Patent number: 11533545Abstract: Methods are described for managing the delivery of electronic data, such as media content, through a network. An indication of a quantity of data transmitted via a network during a first time period may be received, the quantity of data including a first portion of a content item. Based on the quantity of data transmitted during the first time period, it may be determined that a first bandwidth utilization threshold of the network has been satisfied, and the network may be optimized for delivery of a second portion of the content item.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Tom Brown, Rick Gasloli

Patent number: 11533109Abstract: A first optical transceiver outputs a first optical signal while switching the wavelength of the first optical signal to an optical fiber that acts as a medium for carrying single-fiber bi-directional communication between the first optical transceiver and an opposing second optical transceiver. When the wavelength of the first optical signal is switched to a receivable wavelength, the second optical transceiver identifies the wavelength of the received first optical signal, and outputs the second optical signal having a wavelength determined on the basis of the identification result to the optical fiber. When the first optical transceiver receives the second optical signal from the optical fiber, the first optical transceiver stops switching the wavelength of the first optical signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Isao Tomita

Patent number: 11528035Abstract: Examples pertaining to bit selection for polar coding incremental-redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request (IR-HARQ) are described. An apparatus (e.g., UE) generates a re-transmission polar code block (CB) in a polar incremental redundancy HARQ (IR-HARQ) procedure. The apparatus then transmits the re-transmission polar CB as a re-transmission of an initial transmission of an initial polar code carrying a plurality of information bits. In generating the re-transmission polar CB, the apparatus selects one or more re-transmission information bits from the plurality of information bits.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Inventors: Tun-Ping Huang, Mao-Ching Chiu, Wei-De Wu, Chia-Wei Tai, Tien-Yu Lin

Patent number: 11523002Abstract: A network services provider delivers bandwidth services to users in relation to a dynamic limit based on an average user consumption, rather than a fixed amount per subscriber. An average user consumption is employed to compute a consumption limit from relative portions of a user community substantially exceed the average, typically defined as “heavy users.” Usage levels below the consumption limit have an increased availability up to the consumption limit. The consumption limit may vary from a total capacity of the service infrastructure, which changes, generally in an increasing manner, as additional resources are added to the network. The consumption limits may be defined over different service intervals, such as daily, weekly or monthly, and for different groups of users depending on network layout.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: Lukasz Stepnioski, Daniel P.
