  • Patent number: 11924702
    Abstract: Methods and techniques are described for efficiently supporting periodic and triggered location services for a user equipment (UE) in a Fifth Generation wireless network. A serving core network (CN) node, such as an AMF, receives a request for periodic or triggered location for the UE from another CN entity, such as a GMLC, and transfers the request to a location server, such as an LMF, which initiates and establishes the periodic and triggered location session with the UE. The serving CN node then releases all resources for the location request. The UE monitors for periodic or trigger events and reports each event to a location server which forwards an event report, optionally containing a UE location, to an external client via a CN entity, such as GMLC. The event reporting can be efficient because a serving CN node is not materially involved.

  • Patent number: 11924655
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically adjusting a 4G LTE reference signal power level to match a 5G New Radio (NR) coverage footprint to avoid voice over 4G fallback failures for 5G subscribers. Initially, a subscriber making a voice call while in NR coverage may be directed to fall back to LTE in a process known as voice over evolved packet system fallback (VoEPSFB). If the LTE signal strength is worse due to non-optimal settings of the LTE reference signal, the subscriber experiences call setup failure. After the call setup failure, the UE transitions back to the gNodeB. Since the gNodeB knows the UE attempted to fall back to LTE (as well as how soon the UE transitioned back to the gNodeB), a notification is triggered that instructs the LTE base station to increase its reference signal power level.

  • Patent number: 11910205
    Abstract: A wireless communication network receives a current message that relates to a user device for delivery to a network function. The network writes the current message to a queue. The network determines if the queue stores one or more prior messages that relate to the user device. The network transfers the current message from the queue for delivery to the network function when the queue does not store the one or more prior messages for the user device. When the queue for the user device does store the one or more prior messages for the user device, the network prioritizes the current message and the one or more prior messages by network function type and transfers the current message and the one or more prior messages that relate to the user device from the queue for delivery to the network function based on the prioritization.

  • Patent number: 11901999
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for multiplexing of PUCCH for beam failure recovery and other signals. A UE may determine a transmission dropping rule and a transmission power scaling rule for a PUCCH which is dedicatedly configured for secondary BFR transmission, such as a PUCCH-BFR, when it is multiplexed with BFR multiplexed with at least one other signal. The PUCCH-BFR and the at least one other signal may be multiplexed in a CC or in multiple CCs. The UE may determine a transmission dropping rule, e.g., so that UE can transmit an uplink signals with higher priority and drop the other uplink signal with lower priority to avoid beam collisions. The UE may determine a transmission power scaling rule, e.g., so the UE may scale transmission power within a CC and/or across CCs. The UE may multiplex the PUCCH-BFR with the at least one other signal according to the rules.

  • Patent number: 11889548
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide for configuring channel access mechanisms in a mmWave shared spectrum mobile communication network. The channel access mechanisms are to be used by a user equipment (UE) and a serving node in the UE's serving cell. The configuring may use a single, cell-specific higher layer parameter or a combination of two cell-specific higher layer parameters. The parameters may configure the UE and the node to perform channel sensing before transmitting to initiate a channel occupancy. Alternatively, the UE and the node may be configured to transmit directly without channel sensing. The parameters may configure a receiver (the UE or the node) to perform channel sensing before transmitting a channel idle indication to the transmitter as part of a channel access procedure to initiate a channel occupancy. Alternatively, the parameters may configure the UE and the node to receive without channel sensing.

  • Patent number: 11871312
    Abstract: Various examples and schemes pertaining to sidelink resource allocation for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) in New Radio (NR) mobile communications are described. An apparatus implemented in a first user equipment (UE) receives a first signaling from a network node of a wireless network, with the first signaling configuring a first sidelink resource for a sidelink between the first UE and a second UE. The apparatus transmits a packet or transport block (TB) to the second UE on the sidelink using the configured first sidelink resource. The apparatus also receives a second signaling from the network node responsive to the second UE failing to decode the packet or TB, with the second signaling dynamically configuring a second sidelink resource for the sidelink. The apparatus then retransmits the packet or TB to the second UE on the sidelink using the dynamically configured second sidelink resource.
