    Abstract: The present disclosure provides packet aggregation and disaggregation methods. In the packet aggregation methods, the protocol-independent packet processor (P4) switch stores plural message headers of plural packets in the ring buffer. When the plural message headers stored in the ring buffer reach a pre-defined amount of data, the P4 switch replaces the first flag header in the current packet with a second flag header so as to form a work packet. The egress pipeline of the P4 switch recirculates the work packet repeatedly, whenever it receives a work packet, a message header is extracted from a plurality of message headers in the ring buffer and added to the working packet for packet aggregation.

  • Patent number: 10534752
    Abstract: A log file processing system sorts records from large log files and groups them by session without making a complete copy of the log files by capturing a subset of the log files in a sliding memory window and identifying all records in the window that form a complete user session. Records belonging to a complete session are output for analyzing, and the remaining records are output as raw log data for additional processing. Using a ring buffer to implement the sliding memory window, data structures are used to group records by session, to identify completed sessions, and to index into the ring buffer to retrieve records for completed sessions that are to be directly analyzed. Any records remaining in the ring buffer at the end of slide window processing may be output as raw log file data and are processed as incomplete or malformed session records. An embodiment of the log file processing system provides a significant improvement on the speed of data extraction from log files into analyzable session data.

  • Patent number: 10440703
    Abstract: A method to improve the design of new radio physical downlink control channel (NR-PDCCH) transmission and to reduce the false alarm rate of NR-PDCCH blind decoding is proposed. The downlink control information (DCI) bits are carried by NR-PDCCH to be transmitted to UEs after CRC attachment, channel encoding, interleaving, and modulation. The proposed NR-PDCCH design is separated into two parts. In a first part, a UE-ID or RNTI is used to derive a CRC mask or a scrambling sequence for CRC attachment of the DCI bits. In a second part, a UE-specific ID is used to derive an interleaver before or after channel encoding of the DCI bits. If the interleaver is placed before channel encoding, it takes the form of a bit interleaver. If the interleaver is placed after channel encoding, it takes the form of a bit interleaver or a channel interleaver.

  • Patent number: 10313495
    Abstract: A method of configuring a forwarding element that includes several data plane message processing stages. The method stores a set of action codes in an instruction memory in the data plane of the forwarding element. Each action code identifies an operation to perform on a field of a message received at the data plane. The method determines action codes required to process each field of the message in each message processing stage. The method configures a data-plane processing unit of the forwarding element to concurrently perform a group of the action codes in the same data plane processing stage when (i) the action codes are the same and (ii) operate on the same field of the message.

  • Patent number: 10135847
    Abstract: A client system such as a database system may be vulnerable to intrusion by an unauthorized user or system through a reverse secure shell connection that enables the intruder to execute OS-level or shell commands on the client system. A reverse shell connection may be detected by monitoring and inspecting packet data traffic between the client system or internal network, and an exterior or “foreign” network. In one example of such a process, after detecting a normal shell session originating inside the internal network, a reverse shell connection exploiting the initial shell detection is detected by analyzing the transmission directions and payload sizes of a sequence of the monitored packets relative to a predetermined traffic pattern. The specific pattern may be selected for different operating systems.

  • Patent number: 9971730
    Abstract: A link layer to physical layer (PHY) serial interface is disclosed. In one aspect, a system on a chip (SoC) integrated circuit (IC) includes a link layer circuit, and a remote IC includes a Universal Serial Bus (USB) PHY circuit. A bus having four or fewer wires connects the two ICs. A link bridge communicates with the link layer circuit and serializes USB Transceiver Macrocell Interface (UTMI) signaling received from the link layer circuit as high speed (HS) USB messages for transmission to the remote IC. The link bridge also receives HS messages from the USB PHY circuit on the remote IC. The link bridge deserializes the HS messages to extract UTMI signaling and passes the extracted UTMI signaling to the link layer circuit.

  • Patent number: 9826507
    Abstract: A method for setting a filter coefficient for a communication system, which adjusts a frequency bandwidth by setting a filter coefficient of a wireless communication system over a communication network, is provided. In the method, a wireless communication system that includes a controller having a filter coefficient database and a web server, and a Digital Signal Processing device requests a filter coefficient and attribute information related to a set target frequency bandwidth from a management terminal. The wireless communication system receives the filter coefficient and the attribute information from the management terminal and stores the filter coefficient and the attribute information in the filter coefficient database. The wireless communication system sets a frequency bandwidth of the digital signal processing device as a set target frequency bandwidth based on the stored filter coefficient and the attribute information.

  • Patent number: 9736684
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for detecting mismatch of ciphering parameters, such as Count-C, in a wireless device and recovery therefrom. The methods and apparatus for detection include examining a predefined ciphered field, such as a Length Indicator field, in one or more received Radio Link Control (RLC) Protocol Data Units (PDUs). Next, a determination of when the field is invalid over a predetermined sample number of PDUs is performed. Mismatch of ciphering parameters can then be determined when a predetermined number of samples of the field detected as invalid exceed a predetermined threshold. Additionally, recovery of PDUs after mismatch detections is disclosed using a range of Hyper-Frame Numbers (HFNs) to decipher buffered PDUs, and then check which of the HFNs eliminate the parameter mismatch by again determining if parameter mismatch occurs using the methods and apparatus for detection.

  • Patent number: 9720918
    Abstract: A log file processing system sorts records from large log files and groups them by session without making a complete copy of the log files by capturing a subset of the log files in a sliding memory window and identifying all records in the window that form a complete user session. Records belonging to a complete session are output for analyzing, and the remaining records are output as raw log data for additional processing. Using a ring buffer to implement the sliding memory window, data structures are used to group records by session, to identify completed sessions, and to index into the ring buffer to retrieve records for completed sessions that are to be directly analyzed. Any records remaining in the ring buffer at the end of slide window processing may be output as raw log file data and are processed as incomplete or malformed session records. An embodiment of the log file processing system provides a significant improvement on the speed of data extraction from log files into analyzable session data.
