Defensive Publications Series
The present disclosure relates to a system and a method of locking and ranking the resource for utilization in a distributed scheduling system. The method comprises prioritizing the jobs from the job pool based on the job properties and allocating the jobs to the scheduler. Before allocating the jobs to the scheduler, if the jobs are consumed, then a lock is added to the jobs based on state management. The jobs may be assigned a lock state based on the time of their access by the schedulers. The scheduler is configured to pick up the jobs which are not in …

Proxy Mode For Accessing Input/Output Pins In Multi-Dice Silicon Modules, N/A
Defensive Publications Series
Multi-dice modules can be assembled on a package substrate with high precision and small dimensions, e.g., in micrometers. The package substrate may be a traditional organic substrate, or an advanced substrate such as a silicon interposer, silicon bridge, or 3D silicon stack. Once a multi-die module is assembled, certain edges of an individual die become difficult to access due to their close proximity to other dice. This disclosure describes techniques to address input/output (IO) port access in multi-die modules by utilizing other dice in the module as proxy IOs for a die with limited pin access.

Service Based Encryption For Securing Multi-Cloud Service Chaining Deployments, Niranjan M M
Defensive Publications Series
With the advent of cloud hosting and micro services architecture, services are becoming more distributed and span across clouds, data centres, WANs/DMZs, etc., hence providing secure connectivity and policy enforcement across a wide variety of these domains is a challenge, especially when such services are dynamically instantiated and running remotely. In such deployments, protecting sensitive information is very crucial especially with the enterprise cloud deployments. Hence, we need a secure method to provide co-ordination among cloud applications and services to share the services/resources across the registered cloud entities in service chaining deployments. There are techniques which propose secure mechanism (e.g., …

Defensive Publications Series
In a mesh topology, the traffic between access points (APs) is very closely related. Under the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard 802.11, the carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) and Request To Send (RTS)/Clear To Send (CTS) procedures only take into account station (STA)-to-STA transmissions, leading to inefficiencies and overhead for the mesh case. To address this type of challenge, techniques are presented herein that enable, within a wireless mesh network (WMN), collision-free RTS/CTS procedures supporting uplink channel access for the forwarding of backhaul traffic.

Optimized Emergency Call Handling In Nr-5g Only Mode Without Emergency Call Support, Mahesh Telang
Optimized Emergency Call Handling In Nr-5g Only Mode Without Emergency Call Support, Mahesh Telang
Defensive Publications Series
To enhance reliability for emergency calls, some networks, such as New Radio 5G Communication (NR5G) networks, provide multiple ways to originate emergency calls, and in particular provide an emergency call fallback (ES-FB) service. However, under some user equipment (UE) configurations and conditions, the ES-FB service is not available, potentially delaying the emergency call. When the UE is in a configuration or condition where ES-FB is potentially available, the UE searches for a network cell that supports emergency service over the IP Multimedia Subsystem (“IMS”), thereby enhancing the speed and reliability of emergency calls.

Defensive Publications Series
With a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) fifth-generation (5G) network architecture comprising smaller cell sizes, the movement of a User Equipment (UE) generates frequent signaling from a control plane (CP) to a user plane (UP) to update a user’s location. As traffic increases between a CP and a UP, the number of Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) control messages increases, requiring a network’s nodes to perform additional socket operations. Importantly, each socket input/output (I/O) operation and system call is a costly action from a resource utilization point of view. To address the type of challenge that was described above, techniques …

De-Centralised, Authenticated And Secure Communication Between Containers, Niranjan M M
Defensive Publications Series
Containers are becoming more and more popular and are now widely adopted as a new deployment model for virtual, cloud and fog-based applications. In multiple scenarios, probability to expose internal application communication to other unintended applications running on the other containers would increase, which in turn leads to various security vulnerabilities/risks. There are several ways to authenticate and secure the communication as well as data exchange between containers either on a Private or even Public (cloud) network. But none of existing methods provide distributed way to authenticate containers and provide secure communication between the containers. The techniques presented herein propose …

Defensive Publications Series
In 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) fifth-generation (5G) network deployments, Network Function (NF) instance and service discovery is done using a centralized method comprising one or more NF Repository Functions (NRFs) which maintain information about all of the registered NF instances and their services. If a NRF fails, then all of the NF instances, and all of the services that are registered with that NRF, will be lost. Such a loss may result in call failures until the failure is detected and recovered using methods such as, for example, a heartbeat (i.e., a keep-alive) mechanism, etc. To address the type …

Secure Method To Discover Mesh Routers In Software-Defined Wireless Mesh Networks, Niranjan M M
Defensive Publications Series
The combination of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is challenging due to the different natures of both concepts. SDN describes networks with homogeneous, static and centralised controlled topologies. In contrast, a WMN is characterised by a dynamic and distributed network control, and adds new challenges with respect to time-critical operation. However, SDN and WMN are both associated with decreasing the operational costs for communication networks which is especially beneficial for internet provisioning in rural areas. Due to dynamic nature of the topology in SDWMN deployments, Mesh Router (MR) discovery is a challenge. The techniques presented herein propose …

Method To Provide Trustworthy Between Access Point And Wireless Lan Controller, Niranjan M M
Defensive Publications Series
Currently Access Point (AP) needs to join to the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) before it can serve the wireless clients. AP would communicate with the WLC over CAPWAP-DTLS tunnel. The AP or the WLC, could have become compromised so that they are no longer a trusted entity. For these CAPWAP-DTLS tunnels that can influence how the wireless LAN is deployed, configured, and used, it is important to establish DTLS connections only with the devices that can be verified to be trusted. Currently CAPWAP-DTLS tunnel does not offer a way to understand whether the discovered WLC or connected AP is a …
