Patent number: 11950326Abstract: A wireless communication system includes one or more base stations, and a plurality of UEs for a sidelink communication using sidelink resources. The UEs includes a transmitting UE and a receiving UE using a subset of the sidelink resources of the wireless communication system. The receiving UE sends over the sidelink a sidelink feedback to the transmitting UE. The sidelink feedback indicates for a data transmission a successful or non-successful reception at the receiving UE. The transmitting UE reports the sidelink feedback to a base station. The base station provides to the transmitting UE, responsive to the sidelink feedback, sidelink resources for a possible retransmission of a data packet over the sidelink to the receiving UE. The reporting of the sidelink feedback to the base station by the transmitting UE is activated or deactivated responsive to one or more conditions.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Sarun Selvanesan, Thomas Fehrenbach, Roya Ebrahim Rezagah, Cornelius Hellge, Thomas Wirth, Thomas Schierl, Robin Thomas, Baris Göktepe

Patent number: 11943713Abstract: A wireless device features a low-power, limited-functionality, narrowband, homodyne wakeup receiver with a free running local oscillator. This enables a very attractive combination of low power consumption and high selectivity. The network supports these receivers by adopting a wakeup message structure that supports oscillator frequency calibration, and that tolerates loss of parts of the signal spectrum. Wakeup signals are transmitted frequently to allow the wakeup receivers (whether targeted by a wakeup signal or not) to calibrate their LO frequencies. The frequencies of the wakeup signals can be constant, or follow a hopping pattern for increased immunity to interference. The wakeup signals can use multiple carriers to increase robustness to loss of parts of the signal spectrum, particularly near the LO frequency in a homodyne receiver. The carriers use amplitude modulation (OOK), with either different or equal sequences.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Henrik Sjöland, Leif Wilhelmsson
