  • Patent number: 11963181
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable a base-station-initiated grant revoke. The techniques and systems allow a base station to generate and send a grant-revocation message (GRM) to a user equipment (UE) to revoke a scheduled uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) grant from the base station. The base station can transmit the GRM to the UE using a variety of techniques. For example, based on a trigger event, the base station may assign a UE identifier, such as a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), to the UE and transmit the GRM to the UE using a revoke-physical-downlink-control-channel (R PDCCH) transmission that is associated with the UE identifier. These techniques allow the base station to revoke a scheduled UL or DL grant, which can enable the UE to quickly address timing-critical resource allocation issues and mitigate the effects of adverse operating conditions.

  • Patent number: 11963068
    Abstract: When a mobile device such as a smart phone comes within range of a location device, the mobile device inputs a location token from the location device and a travel token is created from a mobile device token and the location token. The mobile and location tokens may include data elements indicating not only identity, but also such other characteristics as an authorization or infection risk level. Tokens may be digitally signed, preferably with an independently verifiable signature that also encodes time. Mobile and location devices may be created and issued by a tracking service provider, which may also store tokens, analyze travel tokens with respect to a location's risk level, and update mobile device and location tokens to change a status of the mobile or location device.

  • Patent number: 11943841
    Abstract: In User Equipment (UE) at various geographic locations, circuitry exchanges TCP packets with radios, and the radios wirelessly exchange the TCP packets with wireless communication nodes. The circuitry determines TCP retransmission rates for the radios at the geographic locations. The circuitry estimates TCP retransmission rates for the radios at a new geographic location based on the TCP retransmission rates for the radios at the past geographic locations. The circuitry selects one of the radios based on the estimated TCP retransmission rates at the new geographic location. At the new geographic location, the circuitry exchanges new TCP packets with the selected one of the radios, and the selected one of the radios wirelessly exchanges the new TCP packets with one of the wireless communication nodes.
