Patent number: 11716681Abstract: Techniques for controlling or managing uplink access of a UE to a base station using unlicensed spectrum includes signaling an indication of different uplink access constraints so the UE connects to the base station when the UE and/or the uplink direction between the UE and the base station meet the uplink access constraints. The indication may be broadcast in a reference or synchronization signal, e.g., by utilizing unused or undesignated bits. Uplink access constraints may include a threshold distance of UEs from the base station, interference in the uplink direction (which may differ from interference in the downlink direction), etc. Based on the indicated constraints, the UE may determine whether or not to consider the base station as a candidate serving cell for wireless network access. The UE may be an in-flight aircraft and the base station may be a logical cell of a network that provides in-flight connectivity services.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: GOGO BUSINESS AVIATION LLCInventors: Heinz A.

Patent number: 11689913Abstract: This application discloses a terminal roaming method and apparatus. A terminal sends, to a first AP associated with the terminal, an action frame that is used to request to associate with a second AP. A receiver address of the action frame is an address of the first AP, and the action frame further includes an identifier of the second AP. When the terminal receives a response frame sent by the first AP for the action frame, and the response frame indicates that association succeeds, the terminal establishes association with the second AP. The terminal first establishes the association with the second AP by using the first AP, and then changes an operating channel to an operating channel of the second AP. Now the terminal can receive and send data on the operating channel of the second AP.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Zhi Ma, Xiaofei Bai, Guozhi Ding, Yongkang Guo

Patent number: 11678296Abstract: A backend network controller, such as a gateway, pushes “hint” instructions to nodes with instructions on planned reactions to asynchronous events so that the nodes are capable of reacting to hinted events before being instructed by the network controller to do so. Thereafter, when a sensor node senses and reports an event to the network controller or otherwise, one or more nodes having received a hint corresponding to the event may recognize the occurrence of the event in response to the reporting message and then react to the event before receiving a command from the network controller to do so. Thus, the nodes are capable of reacting to events faster than would otherwise be possible relying only on commands from the network controller.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Synapse Wireless, Inc.Inventor: Greg Luterman
