Patent number: 11540186Abstract: When frequency range 1 (FR1) (e.g., Sub6 Ghz radio coverage), and FR2 (e.g., mmW coverage) are present in a given area, there can be a broader coverage from FR1 broadcasting in addition to targeted coverage from FR2 broadcasting. Consequently, FR1 can overlap FR2. To generate system efficiencies, the FR1 and FR2 spectrums can be combined by carrier aggregation (CA) and/or dual connectivity (DC). Thus, a hybrid approach can combine use of both CA and DC, based on radio access network instructions and radio frequency conditions experienced by a user equipment device as it transitions between CA and DC coverage areas.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Yonghui Tong, Kurt Huber, Hongyan Lei, Yupeng Jia

Patent number: 11528744Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are provided for transmitting data. A method includes: sending a target random access preamble to a base station; receiving a target random access response that is sent by the base station based on the target random access preamble and carries repetition-number-indicating information; and transmitting, in accordance with a target transmission repetition number, the target uplink data to the base station during the random access procedure. The target transmission repetition number indicates a number of times the user equipment is configured to repeatedly transmit the target uplink data to the base station during the random access procedure. The target transmission repetition number is determined based on the repetition-number-indicating information and a target transmission block size. The target transmission block size is for the user equipment to transmit the target uplink data to the base station during the random access procedure.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2020Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd.Inventors: Qin Mu, Ming Zhang

Patent number: 11470620Abstract: Embodiments provide functionality for dynamic handling of network slice priorities. In an embodiment, a slice priority manager receives, from a network services node, data indicating changes in network resources available for maintaining instantiated network slices in a communication network. Based on the received data, changes in the network services node's ability to maintain the instantiated network slices are identified and a communication service provider is notified of the change. To continue, slice priority data that indicates a preferred order of a portion of the network slices for allocating the network resources is received from the communication service provider. In turn, an indication of the slice priority data is forwarded to the network services node to update allocation of network resources for the slices.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignees: Koninklijke KPN N.V., Nederlandse Organisatie Voor Toegepast-Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek TNOInventors: Wieger IJntema, Pieter Nooren

Patent number: 11382138Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to random access in a communication system. A first device receives a criterion to select a random access type for performing random access to a second device. The first device further determines whether the first device is allocated a contention-free random access resource for a certain random access type, and then performs the random access to the second device based on the determination and conditionally based on the criterion. As such, in the case where contention-free random access resource has been allocated for a certain random access type, the device can conditionally apply the criterion for selection of the random access type and can thus perform random access with improved efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Samuli Heikki Turtinen, Chunli Wu
