Patent number: 10785705Abstract: A communication device that establishes a short-range wireless communication link with a fixed wireless access (FWA) user equipment (UE) or a mobile UE that is in a specified proximal range of the communication device. The FWA UE or the mobile UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state over LTE network, is determined. The communication device detects whether a first new radio (NR) carrier is assigned to the FWA UE or the mobile UE without using the communication device. A carrier measurement is determined for NR is established at the FWA UE (or mobile UE) by an LTE-enabled base station in the RRC connected state. The communication device controls assignment of a second NR carrier to the FWA UE or the mobile UE for non-standalone initial access to a beam of RF data signals in the second NR carrier at the FWA UE or the mobile UE.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2019Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: MOVANDI CORPORATIONInventors: Ahmadreza Rofougaran, Sam Gharavi, Maryam Rofougaran

Patent number: 10784951Abstract: An active repeater device includes a primary sector and one or more secondary sectors, receives a first beam of input RF signals. A first set of analog baseband signals, are generated based on received first beam of input RF signals. The first set of analog baseband signals are converted to a first set of coded data signals and control information is extracted from the first set of coded data signals by decoding only a header portion of the first set of coded data signals without demodulation of data portion of the first set of coded data signals. Based on the extracted control information, the first set of coded data signals are transmitted as beams of output RF signals to remote user equipment. The transmission is independent of demodulation of the data portion within the active repeater device to reduce latency for transmission of the first set of coded data signals.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: MOVANDI CORPORATIONInventors: Sam Gharavi, Ahmadreza Rofougaran, Michael Boers, Seunghwan Yoon, Kartik Sridharan, Donghyup Shin, Farid Shirinfar, Stephen Wu, Maryam Rofougaran
