20230216547 · 2023-07-06 ·

5G and especially 6G are intended to accommodate high-speed mobile user devices and access points such as wireless devices on trains and airplanes, while retaining enhanced mobile broadband eMBB service. Therefore, new resource-efficient, low-complexity procedures are needed for measuring and correcting the Doppler frequency shift. To assist user devices, a base station or access point can periodically broadcast a current geographical location of the base station or access point in a localization message. In some embodiments, the geographical location data can be included in a periodically broadcast system information message, such as unused space of a SSB (synchronization signal block) message or an SIB1 (first system information block) message. User devices can then determine a vector toward the base station or access point relative to the user device location and velocity, and thereby calculate a Doppler correction without a frequency scan or other overhead, according to some embodiments.

INTELLIGENT SERVICE MESH DATA COMPRESSION
20230217343 · 2023-07-06 ·

Intelligent compression of data through a service mesh depending on size and frequency of existing service-to-service communications, relative workloads of the individual microservices, and time of day when large amounts of aggregate network traffic is expected to occur. Compression is enabled on a selective basis, based on user profiles, the size of data being transmitted and/or compression is applied broadly for all data being routed when aggregated amounts of network traffic exceeds threshold levels at particular times of day. Friendly Neighbor Compression Protocol enables data routing through trusted microservices of the service mesh having the same or similar standard and/or security requirements as the microservices of the microservice chain. When computing resources of microservice chains are limited or scarce, service mesh routes data from the microservice chain to trusted microservices for data compression, then re-routes the compressed data to the next microservice of the microservice chain.
