    Abstract: Slices of a 5G network may be configured to implement a trust model by which network customers are provided with assurances that slice properties meet agreed-upon criteria specified by customer policy so that slices can be trusted. Illustrative slice properties may pertain to service types, geographic area of operations, and attributes associated with software, firmware, and hardware used in the infrastructure of nodes in a trusted slice. Particular values of the properties describe a slice configuration that may be measured, digested, and attested to the customer to provide assurances that the configuration conforms with the policy. The 5G slice trust model may be implemented as a two-way model in which a slice provider performs checks to verify slice properties while customers ensure that only authenticated and authorized user equipment (UE) will access a trusted slice.

  • Patent number: 11893249
    Abstract: The present invention is an controller for dynamically allocating RAM between powersave code copied from ROM and transient RAM memory used for storing packets. When the utilization of the transient RAM memory is low, code segments are copied from ROM and executed from RAM using a RAM pointer table which is updated after the code segments are copied over from ROM, and when the utilization of the transient RAM memory is high, code segments are deallocated from RAM and the pointer table is updated to point to the corresponding location in flash ROM.

  • Patent number: 11871469
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may support multiple radio access technologies (RATs). The UE may communicate using both a Long Term Evolution (LTE) connection for control signaling and a New Radio (NR) connection for data signaling in a non-standalone (NSA) mode. However, if the UE uses a data rate below a threshold, the NR connection may be inefficient. To reduce processing overhead, the UE may fall back to using the LTE connection for data communications. For example, the UE may delay or abort adding an NR connection based on the data rate. In some examples, the UE may transmit a fake report or a fake uplink message to trigger dropping an NR connection. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may indicate a preferred mode of operation to the network indicating a preference for communicating data via an LTE connection.

  • Patent number: 11836932
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for learning motion in video. In an implementation, an artificial neural network extracts features from a video. A correspondence proposal (CP) module performs, for at least some of the features, a search for corresponding features in the video based on a semantic similarity of a given feature to others of the features. The CP module then generates a joint semantic vector for each of the features based at least on the semantic similarity of the given feature to one or more of the corresponding features and a spatiotemporal distance of the given feature to the one or more of the corresponding features. The artificial neural network is able to identify motion in the video using the joint semantic vectors generated for the features extracted from the video.
