  • Patent number: 10485029
    Abstract: A method for collision detection by a transmission device (TD) includes identifying one or more time periods of a signal generated by the TD. The one or more time periods correspond to periods during which the TD will not transmit energy on a shared channel. The method includes transmitting a subset of the signal. While a current time is within one of the one or more time periods, the transmitting the subset of the signal includes turning off a transmitter of the TD at a beginning of the time period, detecting energy received on the shared channel during a portion of the time period, turning on the transmitter of the TD before an end of the time period, and determining that the detected energy meets a collision threshold. Based on the detected energy meeting the collision threshold, the method includes determining that there is a transmission collision.

  • Patent number: 10476804
    Abstract: Congestion level configuration for radio access network congestion handling A radio access network node (100) of a cellular network receives an indication of one or more criteria. The criteria which define one or more congestion levels. Further, the radio access network node (100) receives, for each of the one or more congestion levels, an indication of a congestion handling policy associated with this congestion level. Depending on the one or more criteria, the radio access network node (100) determines whether one of the one or more congestion levels is reached. In response to determining that one of the one or more congestion levels is reached, the radio access network node (100) applies the congestion handling policy associated with this congestion level.

  • Patent number: 10348644
    Abstract: Example embodiments provide apparatus, systems and methods to optimize a multicasting operation used to transmit data packets in a communication network. A data store stores at least one variable parameter associated with the multicasting operation. A communication transceiver multicasts a data packet to a plurality of nodes in a communication network using the stored variable parameter and receives, from a node of the plurality of nodes, a retransmitted version of the multicast data packet, the retransmitted data packet comprising feedback data. At least one processor coupled to the data store and the communication transceiver determines, using the feedback data, that the variable parameter requires modification to optimize the multicasting operation for the network, modifies the variable parameter in response to the feedback data; and stores the modified variable parameter in the data store.

  • Patent number: 10284455
    Abstract: A method, a terminal, and a system for a cluster terminal to feedback downlink channel information are provided. In the method, a cluster terminal in an idle state configures a group call context and measures a current downlink channel in a preset period, after receiving a group call signaling sent by a base station. The cluster terminal sends an RRC connection request carrying a measurement result to the base station after determining that the measurement result meets a preset report triggering condition. The base station modifies an air interface resource configuration when determining that a preset condition for modifying the air interface resource configuration is met according to the measurement result and sends an instruction carrying the modified air interface resource configuration to the cluster terminal. The cluster terminal receives group call data according to the instruction after receiving the instruction.
