Patent number: 10129858Abstract: Certain aspects relate to methods and apparatus for latency reduction for UEs in a RRC connected mode. During contention-based uplink access by groups of UEs within a subframe, an eNB may decode the received uplink transmission based, at least in part, on the assigned group of resources assigned to the UE and used for transmission. Additional orthogonalization techniques such as reduced TTI size can be used to reduce collisions among different users performing contention-based transmissions. Furthermore, when the eNB fails to successfully decode the uplink transmission, the eNB may identify the UE that sent the uplink transmission based on a detected reference signal and may transmit an uplink assignment to the identified UE.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Hao Xu, Aleksandar Damnjanovic, Onkar Jayant Dabeer, Peter Gaal, Wanshi Chen, Shimman Arvind Patel, Yongbin Wei, Durga Prasad Malladi

Patent number: 10057910Abstract: Multiplexed unequal error protection for wireless networks is disclosed. A device may determine reliability associated with a first subcarrier of a channel including the first subcarrier and at least one second subcarrier.
