Patent number: 10939462Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention propose a D2D communications method, apparatus, and system. In the solution, a D2D SPS available period in which a first terminal is capable of using a D2D SPS resource is greater than one SC period. Therefore, in the D2D SPS available period, the first terminal needs to determine the D2D SPS resource only one time, and a second terminal also needs to decode SCI only one time to determine the D2D SPS resource. In this way, the first terminal does not need to determine a D2D SPS resource in each SC period, and the second terminal also does not need to decode SCI in each SC period to determine the D2D SPS resource. Therefore, D2D communication efficiency is improved.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Xiao Xiao, Brian Classon, Jiansong Gan

Patent number: 10932286Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A receiving device may detect a signal associated with low latency transmissions and decode a non-low latency communication accordingly. The receiving device may receive an indicator from a transmitting device that indicates where and when low latency communications occur. The indication may specify frequency resources or symbols used by the low latency communication. The indicator may be transmitted during the same subframe as the low latency communication, at the end of a subframe, or during a subsequent subframe. The receiving device may use the indicator to mitigate low latency interference, generate channel estimates, and reliably decode the non-low latency communication. In some cases, the interfering low latency communication may occur within the serving cell of the receiving device; or the interfering low latency communication may occur in a neighboring cell.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Wanshi Chen, Durga Prasad Malladi, Peter Gaal, Yongbin Wei, Hao Xu, Shimman Arvind Patel, Aleksandar Damnjanovic
