Compression-as-a-service for data transmissions

A compression system is disclosed. A compression service removes compression responsibilities from an application. The compression system can deploy virtual network engines to locations near the applications. The virtual network engines compress the data using a compressor selected from multiple compressors. The compressed data can then be transmitted, decompressed, and delivered to the destination.

Remote Radio Unit with Adaptive Fronthaul Link for a Distributed Radio Access Network
20170373890 · 2017-12-28 ·

A distributed radio frequency communication system facilitates communication between a wireless terminal and a core network. The system includes a remote radio unit (RRU) coupled to at least one antenna to communicate with the wireless terminal. The RRU includes electronic circuitry to perform at least a first portion of a first-level protocol of a radio access network (RAN) for communicating between the wireless terminal and the core network. The system also includes a baseband unit (BBU) coupled to the core network, and configured to perform at least a second-level protocol of the RAN. A fronthaul link is coupled to the BBU and the RRU. The fronthaul link utilizes an adaptive fronthaul protocol for communication between the BBU and the RRU. The adaptive fronthaul protocol has provisions for adapting to conditions of the fronthaul link and radio network by changing the way data is communicated over the fronthaul link.

Methods, apparatus, and systems disclosed provide for the configuration of acknowledgments of data. In some aspects, a method includes generating an aggregated media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) frame, comprising a media access control protocol data unit (MPDUs), the media access control protocol data unit (MPDUs) comprising a media access control (MAC) header and data, wherein the media access control (MAC) header comprises an indication of an acknowledgment type for the data of the MPDU; and transmitting the A-MPDU onto a wireless network.

Transport stream packet header compression

A demultiplexer 630 routes only one or more transport stream packets with a single packet identifier value to each physical layer pipe. A header compression unit 620 replaces the packet identifier of the transport stream packet with a short packet identifier of one bit length indicating at least whether the transport stream packet is a NULL packet.

The disclosure relates to a communication technique and system for combining an IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate than a 4G system. The disclosure is applicable to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related service, and the like) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. The disclosure provides a method and apparatus for effectively performing a header compression or decompression procedure in a next-generation mobile communication system.

Script-controlled egress packet modifier

An egress packet modifier includes a script parser and a pipeline of processing stages. Rather than performing egress modifications using a processor that fetches and decodes and executes instructions in a classic processor fashion, and rather than storing a packet in memory and reading it out and modifying it and writing it back, the packet modifier pipeline processes the packet by passing parts of the packet through the pipeline. A processor identifies particular egress modifications to be performed by placing a script code at the beginning of the packet. The script parser then uses the code to identify a specific script of opcodes, where each opcode defines a modification. As a part passes through a stage, the stage can carry out the modification of such an opcode. As realized using current semiconductor fabrication process, the packet modifier can modify 200M packets/second at a sustained rate of up to 100 gigabits/second.

MSS headend caching strategies

Systems and methods for caching data and generating responses to data requests are disclosed. A content delivery system for sending requested data to a client based on a client request in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention comprises a server for compiling data into a data cache, and a headend, coupled to the server, for obtaining the data, categorizing and storing the data in groups in an object cache, receiving a client request, picking data from the object cache and generating a response, and returning the response while caching the response in a response cache that is used to directly respond to future client requests.
