Patent number: 11968563Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications system may utilize an inter-system information report message (e.g., a self-organizing network (SON) information report message) to support inter-system mobility load balancing (MLB). For example, a first node, operating in accordance with a first radio access technology (RAT), may receive an information report message from a second node operating in accordance with a second RAT. The information report message may include a periodic load reporting request information element (IE) or an event-triggered load reporting request IE. In response, the first node may determine a traffic load based on the load reporting request and transmit, to the second node, an information report message which includes one or more IEs for reporting the determined traffic load. The exchange of the load information via the IEs may enable for MLB between nodes of different RAT.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Shankar Krishnan, Xipeng Zhu, Rajeev Kumar, Gavin Bernard Horn

Patent number: 11924882Abstract: A terminal device selects are source indicator to be used for non-scheduled access and transmits it to an access device of the network in the non-scheduled access. If it determines based on a response to the non-scheduled access, that it has selected the same resource indicator as another terminal device, it keeps the resource indicator but selects different physical random access channel occasions by setting a time offset for a retransmission with the selected resource indicator. An initial waiting time may be determined by the access device (e.g. based on a traffic amount on the access channel) and transmitted to the terminal device for setting the time offset. Also, a layer (2) error caused by a random access channel resource collision of terminal devices may be determined at the access device and a feedback indicating a non-acknowledgement for layer (2) may be transmitted to colliding terminal devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES OYInventors: Andreas Maeder, Richard Waldhauser, Mikhail Vilgelm, Murat Guersu, Wolfgang Kellerer

Patent number: 11770672Abstract: A tracking device can securely communicate with a secondary device by generating a hash value based on the identity of the tracking device. If the secondary device cannot resolve the hash value, the hash value can be provided to a tracking server, such as a cloud server, for resolving the hash value. Upon resolving the hash value, the tracking server can store a location of the tracking device in association with the identity of the tracking device. To preserve power, the secondary device can activate location-detection functionality (such as a GPS receive) only in response to the detection of movement of the tracking device, can obtain location information, and can de-activate the location-detection functionality upon providing the location information to the tracking server. The tracking server can associate one or both of a previous location and the current location information based on movement of the tracking device.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2022Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Tile, Inc.Inventor: Josselin de la Broise
