Described are examples for monitoring performance metrics of one or more workloads in a cloud-computing environment and reallocating compute resources based on the monitoring. Reallocating compute resources can include migrating workloads among nodes or other resources in the cloud-computing environment, reallocating hardware accelerator resources, adjusting transmit power for virtual radio access network (vRAN) workloads, and/or the like.

Techniques for adaptively allocating resources in a cloud-computing environment

Described are examples for receiving, from one or more second virtual radio access network (vRAN) workloads operating one or more second cells, an indication of a measurement of at least a first signal transmitted by a first vRAN workload operating a first cell, computing, based on measurements of at least the first signal as received from the one or more second vRAN workloads, a boundary of the first cell, and adjusting, based on the boundary of the first cell, a transmit parameter of the first vRAN workload for transmitting signals in the first cell.

Techniques for adaptively determining cell boundary in wireless communications

A system and method for producing and receiving interactive broadcasting having a broadcast signal with a hypermedia channel and a logical multicast data channel. The logical multicast data channel has a broadcast signal markup stream (BSMS). The system users have a receiver with an interactivity module and a communication module. The BSMS allows user selectable objects to be displayed to users of the system. BSMS objects can be generated by combining speech recognition, language (and optionally video) processing, and keyword searches. By selecting objects various information relating to those objects may be displayed to users. A portion of the logical multicast channel may be employed to provide interactivity between users. A variation eliminates the BSMS either by employing a markup stream server to provide access links or by generating link content directly in the receiver by the same process.

Multicast data services and broadcast signal markup stream for interactive broadcast systems

The present invention relates to the field of code-switching in multi-hop wireless networks. More specifically, the present invention pertains to a method and apparatus that uses orthogonal codes as the forwarding labels in multi-hop forwarding. The processing of the forwarding labels is done at the physical layer. Advantages include reduced processing and energy to forward a packet; reduced latency; reduced bandwidth overhead; and increased security.

Code-switching in wireless multi-hop networks

A device for implementing a multimedia communication dissemination system is disclosed herein. The communication system integrates heterogeneous satellite transmission systems, local area computer networks, and the public telephone system to implement a flexible, high-speed communication system. The preferred communication dissemination system includes a broadcast server for broadcasting an information signal, a mobile base station for receiving the information signal broadcast from the broadcast server, and a local area network for distributing information received by the mobile base station. The preferred mobile base station includes a receiver for receiving information signals transmitted from a broadcast server, a network interface for distributing processed information signals, and a software proxy process for processing information signals. A software proxy process controls the dissemination of information through the network. The software proxy process provides filter and protocol functions to facilitate interconnection between heterogenous communication systems.

Mobile base station for disseminating information

A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a memory structure communicating information, particularly information transferred to and from an Internet host. The apparatus comprises a radio port control unit, comprising a router, and a stub. The router is communicatively coupled to transmit and receive messages with an Internet host and communicatively coupled to a packet forwarding module to accept SU-sourced messages and to provide SU-addressed messages to the packet forwarding module in a first data transfer protocol. The stub is coupled between the router and the packet forwarding module to translate messages from the first data transfer protocol to a second data transfer protocol and to translate messages from the second data transfer protocol to the first data transfer protocol. The method comprises the steps of receiving a data packet having a data payload, determining if the data payload is a loss-sensitive message or a delay-sensitive message, configuring the data packet to indicate that an acknowledge message is required if the day payload is a loss-sensitive message and configuring the data packet to indicate that the acknowledgement message is not required if the data payload is a delay sensitive message, and transmitting the data packet.

Internet-augmented radio port controller unit (RPCU) of personal acces communications systems (PACS)

A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a memory structure for multicasting data in a cellular personal access communication system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of allocating a multicast packet terminal identifier to a multicast group when a subscriber unit in a cell requests membership in the multicast group, receiving a multicast packet having a global multicast address, determining a cell identifier from a mapping of the global multicast address to at least one local multicast identifier and a cell identifier, and forwarding the multicast packet to the cell according to the cell identifier. The apparatus comprises a radio port controller unit having a packet data control unit coupled to a radio port configured to receive a multicast packet and a packet forwarding module. The packet data control unit includes an allocation module configured to allocate a local multicast identifier to a multicast group when a subscriber unit in a cell requests membership in the multicast group. The packet forwarding module is configured to determine a cell identifier from a mapping of the global multicast address to at least one local packet terminal identifier and a cell identifier and to forward the multicast packet to a cell according to the cell identifier.
