Primary component carrier control in a wireless access node that uses multiple radio frequency bands
Patent number: 11641641Abstract: A wireless access node serves a wireless User Equipment (UE) over radio frequency bands that comprise layers. The layers comprise parallel signals that share individual resource blocks in the radio frequency bands. In the wireless access node, radio circuitry wirelessly receives information from the wireless UE that indicates received signal strengths for the radio frequency bands. In the wireless access node, processing circuitry determines layer amounts for the radio frequency bands. The processing circuitry selects one of the radio frequency bands that has an adequate one of the received signal strengths and a higher one of the layer amounts. The radio circuitry wirelessly exchanges user data with the wireless UE over the selected one of the radio frequency bands to serve the wireless UE.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2021Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: T-MOBILE INNOVATIONS LLCInventor: Sreekar Marupaduga -

Patent number: 11611375Abstract: A base station of a 5G/6G network can include its location coordinates in the SSB system information message which is broadcast on a standard frequency periodically. A mobile user device can receive the SSB and thereby determine the base station location. Thereafter, the user device can measure its own location, speed, and direction of travel, and thereby calculate a Doppler frequency correction before transmitting a message to the base station, thus causing the base station to receive the message at the expected standard frequency. In addition, the user device can calculate, based on the location of the base station relative to the direction of travel of the mobile user device, a particular frequency at which downlink messages from the base station will be received. In addition, the user device can pre-emptively adjust its transmission frequency when changing speed or direction, thereby avoiding wasteful frequency-correction messages from the base station.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2022Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: ULTRALOGIC 6G, LLCInventors: David E.
