  • Patent number: 11909570
    Abstract: A communication device determines that simultaneous transmission/reception via multiple frequency segments in a WLAN is not permitted, and transmits a first packet in a first frequency segment and a second packet in a second frequency segment. The communication device determines that an end of the first packet does not align with an end of the second packet and that the first packet and/or the second packet prompts transmission of a respective response packet a defined time period after transmission of the corresponding one of the first packet and the second packet. In response to having determined that simultaneous transmission/reception is not permitted and that the first packet and/or the second packet prompts transmission of the respective response packet, the communication device pads the first packet and/or the second packet so that an end of transmission of the first packet is aligned with an end of transmission of the second packet.

  • Patent number: 11849442
    Abstract: In a 5G network, a slice controller operating in a radio access network (RAN) is arranged to make predictions of channel state information (CSI) for user equipment (UE) on the network using a predictive propagation model. The slice controller uses the predicted CSI to schedule subcarriers and time slots associated with physical radio resources for data transmission on slices of the 5G network between a 5G radio unit (RU) and the UE to maximize network throughput on a slice for the radio spectrum that is utilized for a given time period. In view of the CSI predictions, the slice controller controls operations of the MAC (Medium Access Control) layer functions based on PHY (physical) layer radio resource subsets to schedule the subcarrier and time slots for data transmissions on a slice over the 5G air interface from RU to UE.
