Vxlan Extensions For 5g User Equipment Sessions, Mahesh Satyanarayana
Vxlan Extensions For 5g User Equipment Sessions, Mahesh Satyanarayana
Defensive Publications Series
A Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) is typically used to create a Layer 2 (L2) fabric across datacenters and multi-cloud environments. A VXLAN is also useful in isolating traffic belonging to multiple tenants hosted in a cloud environment, or even to bridge applications spread across multi-cloud environments. Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards for Fifth Generation (5G) networks define an Ethernet Protocol Data Unit (PDU) type that provides L2 accesses to user equipment (UEs). Presented herein are techniques to enhance such Ethernet PDU capabilities in order to provide an L2 interconnect between 5G accesses and remote datacenters and/or cloud …

Estimating Product Field Life Under Multi-Stress Environments In Halt And Hass, Ouyang Simon Chase
Estimating Product Field Life Under Multi-Stress Environments In Halt And Hass, Ouyang Simon Chase
Defensive Publications Series
The estimated field life of a product is determined by subjecting the product to accelerated testing at various stages, including the engineering, development, and production stages. Accelerated testing involves subjecting a large base of sample products to thermal shock, humidity, dust, or other tests to accelerate aging. After accelerated testing, at the time of mass production, the product is subjected to HALT/HASS as a form of ongoing reliability testing. HALT and HASS apply multiple stressors at different intensity combinations but cannot produce field-life estimates. This disclosure leverages HALT-HASS by using Arrhenius and modified-Eyring modeling to estimate acceleration factor and field …

Command-Line Interface With Improved Screen Reader Accessibility, David J. Murphy, Szu Yu Huang, Lucas Radaelli, Amy Hu
Defensive Publications Series
The output of a command-line interface (CLI) is typically unstructured text. When such CLI output is piped to an assistive technology such as a screen-reader, the text is vocalized in a character-by-character manner. The result is often a vocalization that includes irrelevant or repetitive content; vocalization of content in a confusing order; vocalization of tabular or graph-based content in a non-contextual manner; etc. This disclosure describes techniques to provide a structured-data endpoint on a CLI and to enable a screen-reader to interface with and vocalize such structured data via a standard, web-based client.

Automatic Adjustment Of Wireless Access Point Settings Based On Client-Side Rf Measurements, N/A
Automatic Adjustment Of Wireless Access Point Settings Based On Client-Side Rf Measurements, N/A
Defensive Publications Series
In settings where multiple access points (APs) provide WiFi coverage, the radio frequency (RF) environment experienced by a client device is non-stationary due to various factors such as the emergence and disappearance of hotspots; spectrally uncoordinated APs; the number of clients; the sensitivity of client devices to noise; the mutual distances between clients, RF noise sources, and metallic structures; etc. Since the RF environment experienced by a client device is materially different from that experienced by an AP, attempting to optimize network parameters based on measurements at the AP frequently fails or further degrades WiFi service.

Responsive User Interface Updates For Remote Computation, Xu Cao
Responsive User Interface Updates For Remote Computation, Xu Cao
Defensive Publications Series
Remote display protocols send local user inputs such as keystrokes and mouse clicks received at a client device to a remote server and update the local display based on responses received from the remote server. This can sometimes result in unacceptable latency between user commands and display actions, e.g., when performing computation heavy operations such as computer-aided design, version control for large software repositories, etc. This disclosure describes techniques to generate a low-latency response to user inputs by providing a display module and a compute module within client software that executes locally. The display module locally processes display-related user commands …

Defensive Publications Series
Network slicing is a key capability provided to Fifth Generation (5G) mobile network operators. The industry has defined many predefined network slice types that depend on various key performance indicators (KPIs) such as bandwidth, throughput, and latency. However, one missing component, in terms of KPIs for defining network slices, is security, as there is currently no mechanism to translate network security or segmentation of traffic into a 5G core network or Radio Access Network (RAN). Presented herein are techniques to enable micro segmentation of a 5G network by using security as a KPI. The techniques provided herein can be achieved …

Automatic Molecular Licensing Through Trusted Peers, Orlando Ramirez
Defensive Publications Series
Smart licensing is changing paradigms in a manner that allows enterprise entities to centrally organize license and devices in a simple and flexible way. However, it is often difficult to deploy this ecosystem because the configuration on enterprise endpoint devices is manual, connection-dependent, and often involves constant data exchanges for reporting. As a result, it is difficult for enterprise entities to manage/maintain reliable information about the licensing usage. Presented herein is a molecular licensing system, which addresses such issues by providing a centralized system that automates the configuration, registration, and validation of reports, which can be provided by endpoints to …

Shared Usb-A, Usb-C Power And Charging Ecosystem Based On Devce Landscape, Hp Inc
Defensive Publications Series
USB Type‐A and USB Type‐C have separate power and charging specifications under the USB Implementers Forum, Inc (USB‐IF). There is no way for Type‐A ports to share a power budget with Type‐C ports due to limitations in the specifications. Additionally, in many applications that have a strict power budget, it is not possible to supply every USB port on the host system with the necessary power to classify it as a charging or power delivery port. The circuit outlined in this document allows for every port – Type‐ A or Type‐C – on a system to become a charging‐capable or …

Using Low-Level Telemetry In Cloud Platforms To Mitigate Latency Risks For High-Performance Computing, Radu Iorga, Aurélien Legrand
Defensive Publications Series
Latency minimization is critical to high-performance computing (HPC). Network monitoring tools that rely on out-of-band data to control latency cannot assist latency-sensitive network workloads in real time. This disclosure describes techniques that combine in-band network telemetry (INT) with the software-defined network (SDN) controller used by the cloud platform to mitigate HPC latency. INT gathers hardware-level information about buffer and queue utilization. Such information is used by the cloud SDN controller to make changes to the virtual environment. The SDN controller can directly affect decisions of the HPC master node relating to the assignment of tasks to worker nodes. The techniques …

Defensive Publications Series
A foundation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is based on low-cost devices having ultra-low power consumption. IoT devices are usually powered by batteries that have power, capacity, and size constraints and, therefore, have limited lifespan. As IoT devices have become ubiquitous in many network environments, supplanting batteries or re-energizing batteries frequently can be expensive or, in some cases, even infeasible. Hence, the longevity of IoT devices is crucial to the long-term adoption of such devices. Presented herein is a novel technique to facilitate power management, data collection, and switching IoT devices on/off using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in …

Defensive Publications Series
Kubernetes (https://kubernetes.io/) has become the de-facto standard orchestrator for deploying modern cloud-native applications that employ micro-services-based architectures in which such micro-services are typically deployed via containers. Kubernetes uses abstractions of pods, namespaces, labels, selectors, specs operators and other various constructs that make it easy for application developers to rapidly deploy their workloads for test, development, and production environments. Such mixed/hybrid cloud environments make it challenging for Information Technology (IT) operators to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot such environments and implement consistent security policies. Accordingly, presented herein is a novel user interface dashboard through which automated network monitoring, troubleshooting, and visibility of …
