Title: Dynamic security policy
Inventor: MARK SHACKLETON
IPC: G06F21/55
Filed: 2017-11-07
Abstract: The application defines a system where a machine learning algorithm first receives a plurality of virtual machine configuration vectors for training VMs 602. It then receives a security occurrence identification that identifies a VM configuration vector for a training VM 604, and then defines a vulnerability vector for the identified VM configuration vector 606. This configuration vector along with the vulnerability vector are associated as being a first training example. It then identifies further, earlier VM configuration for the training VM, where each of these further configuration vectors have a temporal indication that precedes that of the referenced VM configuration vector 608. It then uses a reverse decay function to modify the vulnerability vector for each earlier VM configuration 610, and then associates a modified form of the vulnerability vector with each of the further VM configuration vectors as further training examples 612. The vulnerability vectors may include an indicator of each of the security vulnerabilities of the VM.

Title: Data replication
Inventor: MATTHEW HALLIGAN
IPC: G06F16/10
Filed: 2018-03-27
Abstract: A method of data replication in a distributed storage system of a mobile network comprising a plurality of geographically separated storage locations. The method comprises receiving a request for data stored in the distributed storage system at a first storage location 102 and determining, based on this request, further, different, data to be replicated at the first storage location 104. The further data is replicated at the first storage location, in advance of any requests for the further data 112.

Title: Handling memory requests
Inventor: MARK LANDERS
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 2016-03-29
Abstract: A converter module 202 receives memory requests issued by a cache 204 (e.g. an on-chip cache), the requests including memory addresses defined within a virtual memory address space, each request having been assigned a transaction identifier for tracking the status of the request by a processor. Transaction tracker module 214 for tracking the status of memory requests receives address translation information from a memory management unit (MMU) 208, the translation information including either a translation of a virtual memory address to a physical memory address or a pointer to the translation. Arbiter module 216 issues memory requests, including physical memory addresses determined from the translation information, to a memory via an external bus 206 and triggers freeing of assigned transaction identifiers upon receiving responses from memory. Optionally the transaction IDs enable memory requests to be performed out of order. Converter module 202 may have two parallel paths, a read path including assignment module (512R), transaction tracker module (514R) and arbiter module (516R), and a write path including corresponding second modules (512W, 514W, 516W). In an alternative embodiment, assignment module 212 may assign the transaction identifiers to the request.

Title: Restored fairness in an 802.11 network implementing resource units
Inventor: Stéphane Baron
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2016-07-13
Abstract: 802.11ax nodes benefit from additional medium accesses through multi-user uplink provided by an Access Point (AP), compared to legacy nodes. To restore fairness in medium access to the legacy nodes a node’s EDCA parameters, in particular EDCA backoffs, are updated using penalty values each time the node successfully transmits data to the AP over Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (UL OFDMA) resource units (RUs). This reduces relatively the probability for the node to communicate using conventional EDCA contention. A penalty value is preferably provided by the AP and may be adjusted based on information local to the node, for instance the amount of data transmitted or its current contention window. The AP may provide the penalty value in a trigger frame or beacon. For instance, the penalty value is added to the current value of the EDCA backoff counters upon successful OFDMA transmission by the node. The penalty value may be based on a ratio of bandwidth usage of RUs relative to a total bandwidth usage of communication channels and RUs or ratio of number of resource units for which collision has occurred compared to the total number accessed or from data types from history or received data types.
