  • Patent number: 10805835
    Abstract: When a non-access stratum (NAS) message is generated in an NAS layer of a user equipment, the NAS layer transfers the NAS message and type information to an access stratum (AS) layer of the user equipment. An AS message containing the NAS message is transmitted to a network. The type information indicates whether the NAS message is a first type message containing user data or a second type message without user data.

  • Patent number: 10779220
    Abstract: A chip is coupled to a device. The device stores at least one configuration parameter for configuring an access to an Internet type network. According to the invention, the chip stores data relating to at least two subscriptions. The method comprises the following steps. The chip de-activates a first subscription. The chip activates a second subscription. The second subscription is distinct from the first subscription, as a previously active subscription. The second subscription is a currently active subscription. The chip detects whether the device does or does not read a currently active subscription. Only if the device reads a currently active subscription, then the chip detects whether at least one configuration parameter does or does not allow accessing an Internet type network. Only if at least one configuration parameter does not allow accessing an Internet type network, then the chip ascertains that at least one configuration parameter is corrupted.

  • Patent number: 10743325
    Abstract: Techniques for channel selection and related operations in a shared spectrum environment are disclosed. In one example, a channel selector or the like may be used to select one of a number of available channels as an operating channel based on a comparison of cost functions for each of the available channels, with the cost functions being based on separate utility and penalty metrics. In another example, a channel scanner or the like may be used to trigger a channel scan in response to a channel quality metric indicating poor service for a threshold number or proportion of access terminals. In another example, an operating mode controller may be used to trigger a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) mode on an operating channel in response to a utilization metric being above a threshold. The TDM mode may cycle operation between activated and deactivated periods in accordance with a TDM communication pattern.

  • Patent number: 10608929
    Abstract: A method of routing communications from a mobile device to a target device. A non-whispered speech target device routing list and a whispered speech target device routing list are stored at a memory that is accessible by the mobile device. The mobile device identifies speech characteristics associated with a speech input and further determines whether the speech input corresponds to a whispered speech based on the speech characteristics. When it is determined that the speech input corresponds to a whispered speech, the mobile device routes communications corresponding to the speech input to each target device included in the whispered speech target device routing list. When it is determined that the speech input does not correspond to a whispered speech, the mobile device either routes or refrains from routing communications corresponding to the speech input to each target device included in the non-whispered speech target device routing list.

  • Patent number: 10531477
    Abstract: Devices and methods for determining a schedule of unicast transmissions between wireless transceivers using a principal controller. A receiver receives information of a set of transmissions between the transceivers for a period of time, a priority of each transmission, and a topology of a network of transceivers, i.e. neighborhood nodes having controllers and devices. A processor sequentially partitions the transmissions based on priority and the topology of the network, groups of concurrent transmissions that do not interfere with each other, beginning with a highest priority group, and ending, with a lowest ending priority group. Apply a predetermined optimization assignment, comparing all transactions according to the priority optimization assignment, to determine a prioritized order of transmission for each transmission in each group.

  • Patent number: 10505668
    Abstract: Provided is a radio communication device which can suppress inter-code interference between an ACK/NACK signal and a CQI signal which are code-multiplexed. A diffusion unit (214) diffuses the ACK/NACK signal inputted from a judgment unit (208) by using a ZC sequence. A diffusion unit (219) diffuses the CQI signal by using a cyclic shift ZC sequence. By using a Walsh sequence, a diffusion unit (216) further diffuses the ACK/NACK signal which has been diffused by using the ZC sequence. A control unit (209) controls the diffusion unit (214), the diffusion unit (216), and the diffusion unit (219) so that the minimum value of the difference between the CQI signals from a plurality of mobile stations and a cyclic shift amount of the ACK/NACK signal is not smaller than the minimum value of the difference between the cyclic shift amounts of the ACK/NACK signals from the plurality of mobile stations.

  • Patent number: 10455508
    Abstract: A method and device for monitoring paging signals are provided. A method of DRX cycle extension for a mobile terminal in an IDLE mode is provided. The method is used to extend the current DRX cycle. A longer paging cycle is designed by extending a UE-specific paging cycle or introducing a new coefficient in system information. A method for extending the SFN is proposed in the invention. A boundary and a serial number of the SFN in the longer wrap around are indicated by the SI. To avoid a situation in which the high paging load occurs in certain paging frames or subframes, the UE_ID is extended in the invention. The proposed mechanism can flexibly adjust the paging cycle and the SFN extension to meet the actual requirements. The long DRX cycle can save a lot of power consumption of the mobile terminals in the IDLE mode.
