Patent number: 11962543Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to full-duplex cooperative communication by a first device tethered with a second device communicating with a third device. With the tether, one device between the first device and the second device is designated or selected as a transmitter, and the other device as a receiver. In full-duplex operation, the transmitter may transmit outgoing data concurrent to the receiver receiving incoming data. In an example, one of the first and second devices may have a modem that is used to control the full-duplex communication. The modem controls both transmission and reception. In another example, both devices may have a modem. Each modem may assume responsibility for part of the full-duplex communication by performing some processing before either shipping received data, or transmitting outgoing data. The amount of processing may be split at a link layer. Interference cancellation may mitigate interference from full-duplex operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jay Kumar Sundararajan, Prashanth Haridas Hande, Wanshi Chen

Patent number: 11799922Abstract: An anchoring network device of a telecommunications network can receive a first initiation request of a communication session and determine a second request indicating a different media capability than the first request. A network gateway can modify packets of the session, e.g., by transcoding between the capabilities.
