  • Patent number: 11659413
    Abstract: Aspects of disclosure relate to a network node for changing a physical cell identifier (PCI). The network node transmits a first signal based on a first PCI during a first synchronization signal block (SSB) occasion, transmits a second signal based on the first PCI during a second SSB occasion, and transitions from the first PCI to a second PCI. During a transition period, the network node transmits the first signal based on the second PCI during the first SSB occasion, and continues to transmit the second signal based on the first PCI during the second SSB occasion. After an end of the transition period, the network node continues to transmit the first signal based on the second PCI during the first SSB occasion, and ceases transmission of the second signal based on the first PCI during the second SSB occasion. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 11659509
    Abstract: There is provided a multi-hop relay system including a transmission node and a relay node, communicating using a flooding method. The transmission node is configured to transmit a synchronization packet used to synchronize a plurality of relay nodes. The relay node is configured to perform first reception in a first period at every first cycle corresponding to the predetermined cycle, and second reception in a second period not less than a length of the predetermined period at every second cycle longer than the first cycle. The relay node performs the second reception if the synchronization packet cannot be received by the first reception, and if the synchronization packet is received by the second reception, stops the second reception and performs the first reception if the predetermined condition is determined to be satisfied, and if not, executes synchronization recovery processing.
