Latest Patents

Tao Ji's latest patents focus on creating elasticity and resiliency in virtualized RANs. One of his notable inventions involves methods and systems for dynamically re-routing layer traffic between different servers with minimal user-visible disruption. This technology allows for seamless transitions without requiring modifications to the virtual RAN software stack. For instance, his approach includes transformations on messages between the L2 and PHY layers, such as duplication and filtering, which enable the system to maintain low-overhead 'hot, inactive' PHY clones. These clones are primed to process workloads but are not actively engaged, allowing for automatic and seamless migration of PHY workloads during planned downtimes or unexpected server failures.

Another patent by Tao Ji addresses dynamic re-routing and modification of layer traffic in virtualized RANs. This system enables operators to initiate PHY migrations on demand or set up automatic migrations in response to unexpected events. The innovation recognizes that PHY processing in cellular networks does not require hard state migration, allowing for straightforward re-routing of layer traffic between servers.
