  • Patent number: 11979877
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may reduce a transmission power of a scheduled downlink message relative to an expected transmission power of the scheduled downlink message in response to determining that the scheduled downlink message will cause at least a threshold level of interference with a concurrently scheduled uplink message. The base station may transmit the scheduled downlink message to a user equipment (UE) using the reduced transmission power and may transmit, to the UE an indication of a power adjustment for a downlink measurement of the scheduled downlink message. The UE may receive the indication after receiving the scheduled downlink message and may adjust the downlink measurement in accordance with the indication of the power adjustment.

  • Patent number: 11943795
    Abstract: Wireless communications systems may support identification or determination of a common default beam for a component carrier (CC) group (e.g., such that all CCs of a CC group may be associated with a same default beam). For example, a CC group may be configured or established to include one or more CCs (e.g., for carrier aggregation), where each CC group may share a same analog beamformer. As such, a beam (e.g., a default uplink/downlink beam) may be established as default or common across CCs of a CC group (e.g., versus default beams being configured or established for individual CCs). Such an established default beam of a CC group (e.g., a default beam common to all CCs of a CC group) may include or refer to a default downlink shared channel beam, a default sounding reference signal (SRS) beam, a default downlink control channel beam, etc.

  • Patent number: 11917656
    Abstract: An access point device operable in a wireless network detects multi-band capability of a wireless client based on a probe request received from the wireless client on the non-preferred communication band. The multi-band capability is detected based on a set of parameters included in the received probe request. When the wireless client is detected to have the multi-band capability, the access point device blocks the attempt of the first wireless client to associate on the non-preferred communication band. The access point device allows the wireless client to associate on one of the non-preferred communication band and a preferred communication band based on a count of probe requests received by the access point device from the wireless client on the non-preferred communication band. Upon association on the non-preferred communication band, the access point device steers the associated wireless client to the preferred communication band.

  • Patent number: 11917420
    Abstract: An enhanced network environment is provided by provisioning a device to utilize the 6 GHz frequency band. The device requires provisioning so as not to interfere with legacy systems. The provisioning requires that the two-dimensional location of the device be obtained and sent to a topographical mapping network resource to obtain an accurate ground location for the terrain. The elevation is then modified based on an actual height from ground level of the device. The location of the device can then be sent to an automated frequency controller (AFC) resource to obtain an equivalent isotropically radiated power mask that can be used to provision the device so that the device can operate in the 6 GHz frequency band without causing interference with any other systems. Once provisioned, the device can be registered with the AFC resource.

  • Patent number: 11849502
    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from inter-operator device-to-device operation. For example, communication systems of the third generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) advanced (LTE-A) release12/13 (Rel-12/13) or future releases may use such operation with respect to D2D communications. A method can include preparing, at a network element operated by an operator, radio resource information related to one or more operators other than the operator. The method can also include broadcasting, by the network element, the radio resource information. The radio resource information can be configured to permit a user equipment served by the network element to perform device-to-device discovery and/or communication with another user equipment served by at least one of the one or more operators.

  • Patent number: 11818596
    Abstract: In a fronthaul network system, when a CPRI link fault is detected at either of the REC or RE, both the REC and RE perform a Layer 1 synchronization. The fault may be a loss of signal, loss of frame, or a line code violation, which also translates to a loss of signal if seen beyond a threshold. A proxy slave recognizes the fault in a CPRI signal from a first radio device and inserts the fault alarm into a header of a radio over Ethernet frame. The proxy slave continues to communicate the signal for a configured number of hyper-frames. A proxy master receives the signal and communicates the signal and the fault alarm to a receiving radio device for a configured number of hyper-frames. The proxy and radio devices all perform a joint resynchronization.
