  • Patent number: 11509412
    Abstract: Systems and methods of initial acquisition in a NR system are described. A UE receives time and frequency superposed SSBs from a gNB. If the PSS and SSS of each SSB is independent of a block index of the SSB, the UE receives an additional reference signal scrambled by a beam index of the SSB and uses the reference signal to discriminate between the SSBs. The reference signal is FDMed within a null-subcarrier region of the SSB or outside of the SSB. If the PSS and SSS of each SSB is scrambled using the block index, the UE separates the PBCH measurements, iteratively identifies a block index associated with a DMRS of the PBCH with the highest L1-RSRP level measurement, decodes and reconstructs the PBCH, and subtracts the reconstructed PBCH from the SSB before transmitting an indication of the PBCH with the highest L1-RSRP level measurement to the gNB.

  • Patent number: 11503476
    Abstract: A transceiver system includes one or more groups of transceivers. The locations of the transceivers are initially unknown. During deployment, the location of each transceiver in the group is automatically estimated by the remaining transceivers in the group. Once the locations of the transceivers in the group are estimated, deployment of the transceivers is complete. The transceivers may estimate location attributes of mobile transceivers within a vicinity of the transceivers in the group.

  • Patent number: 11470001
    Abstract: The following description is directed to configuring gateways in computer networks. For example, a method includes receiving a first request from a client associated with a configurable network. The first request can request associating a set of network addresses assigned to the configurable network to a gateway. A second request can be received from a client associated with the gateway. The second request can request accepting the association of the first request. It can be determined that the set of network addresses do not overlap with a network address space that is accessible using the gateway. Routing information can be generated for the gateway. The generated routing information can be used to configure the gateway for forwarding network packets between the client private network and the configurable network.
