Patent number: 11991536Abstract: The technology described herein selects an optimal multiplexing technology to use for a communication session. The optimal technology will minimize the probability of a disruption (e.g., a dropped call) during a communication session. A multiplexing decision process may be implemented when a user equipment (UE) is not capable of transitioning between two different multiplexing technologies and is located in a geographic area where networks using two different multiplexing technologies are available. In one aspect, the selection of an optimal multiplexing technology considers the network context at a time when the communication session is initiated, the UE's context (e.g., location near network edge, mobility profile), a device profile for the UE model, the UE history, and usage history for the user of the UE.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: T-MOBILE INNOVATIONS LLCInventors: Roopesh Kumar Polaganga, Deepak Nadh Tammana

Patent number: 11916726Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a first sidelink user equipment (UE) transmits a sidelink (SL) beam failure recovery (BFR) message to a communications node, indicating a new candidate beam and an identifier (ID) of a second sidelink UE. The method also receives an acknowledgment of the SL BFR message. A communications node receives a sidelink beam failure recovery message from a first sidelink user equipment, indicating a new candidate beam and an ID of a second sidelink UE. The method also transmits information identifying the new candidate beam and the ID to the second sidelink UE. Another method by a first sidelink user equipment receives a sidelink beam failure recovery message from a base station, indicating a new candidate beam and an ID of a second sidelink UE. The method changes a beam used to communicate with the second sidelink UE in response to receiving the BFR message.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jung Ho Ryu, Sony Akkarakaran, Tao Luo, Junyi Li, Jelena Damnjanovic, Xiaoxia Zhang, Juan Montojo, Ling Ding

Patent number: 11723051Abstract: A user terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a transmitting section that transmits, when a transmission timing of uplink control information (UCI) using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) overlaps with a transmission timing of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), the UCI using the PUSCH, and a control section that controls which of a repetition transmission configuration of the PUCCH and a repetition transmission configuration of the PUSCH is to be used to determine the number of times of repetition transmission of the PUSCH including the UCI. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a UCI repetition configuration can be appropriately determined.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Shohei Yoshioka, Kazuki Takeda, Satoshi Nagata, Lihui Wang

Patent number: 5031728Abstract: A group supervision method and apparatus for an elevator system wherein information items on elevator traffic states are gathered for selected days. Each day is divided into a number of time zones that contain traffic state information. Information gathered for selected days is compared by comparing respective time zones of the selected days. Days that have traffic states of small mutual differences are grouped together as a handling unit. The traffic state information of each time zone of each day is statistically processed and the days comprising the handling unit are treated as a single unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1990Date of Patent: July 16, 1991Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masaaki Amano

Patent number: 5025895Abstract: There is provided a detection system for detecting attempted entry onto the shaft-side roof of an elevator cab which includes a power supply for supplying power to the system, a proximity detector in electrical connection with the power supply which is disposed proximate the roof of the cab for detecting an object entering a zone of detection including the top of the cab, the detector in a preferred embodiment including an optical source for generating a detection beam and a corresponding optical receiver for receiving the detection beam when it is diffused by an object entering the detection zone and for providing a detection signal when the object enters the detection zone, and detection indicator responsive to the detection signal for indicating an attempted entry.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1990Date of Patent: June 25, 1991Assignee: G.E.C. Holding Corp.Inventors: Richard J. Leone, Robert F. Cummins, Joseph Vitiello, Thomas Brochhagan

Patent number: 5024296Abstract: A computer based elevator system (FIG. 1) including data "filtering" means evaluating at least part of the system's over-all operational, historic data base, determining when significant traffic density was present in the system and then selecting out such data, saving it in a special data base. Boarding and de-boarding count data is separately processed on a floor-by-floor, time-interval-by-time-interval, sequential basis and evaluated with respect to two base lines (FIGS. 2A and 4)--a first, "end" base line ("E") based on a preset, lower percent of the total floor's population ("F.P."; e.g. E=1% F.P.), and a second, "start" base line ("S") baased on a preset, higher percent of that floor's total population (e.g. S=3% F.P.); and two time frames--a first, minimum time frame ("T.S.") based on the time (e.g. 18 minutes) the values must stay above "S" for significant traffic density to be considered present, and a second, maximum time frame ("T.E.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1990Date of Patent: June 18, 1991Assignee: Otis Elevator CompanyInventor: Nader Kameli
