  • Patent number: 11611988
    Abstract: This application provides a random access method and apparatus. The method may include determining, by a terminal, a service attribute of to-be-transmitted data, where the service attribute includes one or more of the following: a service type attribute, a service packet attribute, and a service latency attribute. The method may also include sending, by the terminal when the service attribute meets a preset condition for early data transmission, a random access request to a network device using a dedicated resource for the early data transmission. In this way, the early data transmission is initiated after the service attribute meets the preset condition for the early data transmission, so that a quantity of times for which the early data transmission is initiated is reduced, thereby saving resources. In addition, a success rate of the early data transmission can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11606749
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station on multiple component carriers (CCs) in a carrier aggregation (CA) configuration. The base station may transmit an indication to the UE that identifies a new power mode (e.g., a power mode adjustment) that the UE is to implement. The power mode may identify communication parameters that the UE is to adjust. The UE may determine a delay for applying the new power mode on the CCs. The delay may provide the UE time to activate or deactivate components or elements based on the new power mode. In some examples, the UE may determine the delay based on one or more selected CCs and then apply the delay across the CCs. The UE may implement the power mode on one or more (or all) of the CCs following the delay.

Such methods include performing link adaptation by assigning respective modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for the wireless communication devices. Each assigned MCS is associated with a corresponding power back-off. Such methods include scheduling the wireless communication devices on transmission resources based on assignment of the wireless communications devices into two or more groups. Each group is scheduled on different transmission resources than used to schedule other groups. First wireless communication devices assigned a first MCS and a first power back-off are assigned to a first group. Second wireless communications devices assigned a second MCS and a second power back-off, and that meet a grouping criterion associated with the first power back-off, are assigned to the first group until a maximum size for the first group is reached.

  • Patent number: 11503665
    Abstract: An electronic device connects to another electronic device using a communication link, such as a Wi-Fi link as provided by a Wi-Fi access point. The electronic device includes a transport monitoring module that monitors outgoing communications (e.g., Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets) from the electronic device. When the other electronic device disconnects from the Wi-Fi access point, the transport monitoring module determines that a transport anomaly has occurred. In response to determining that the transport anomaly has occurred, a probe module of the electronic device sends a probe (e.g., an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) dead peer detection probe) to determine whether the other electronic device is reachable.
