  • Patent number: 11882563
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) and base station may implement improved communication methods which enable a UE that is peak current limited to perform UL transmissions which are consistent with the UL timeline. A UE that is peak current limited may utilize a new form of distributed TTI (transmit time interval) bundling for improved uplink communication performance. In performing “distributed” TTI bundling, the UE may transmit a plurality of redundancy versions of first information to the base station, wherein the plurality of redundancy versions are transmitted in non-consecutive sub-frames with a periodicity of X ms. After the plurality of redundancy versions of first information are transmitted to the base station, the base station may provide a single acknowledge/negative acknowledge (ACK/NACK) to the UE. A method for dynamically generating and using a bundle size for TTI bundling is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11881926
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an airborne communication apparatus for or within an aircraft, a corresponding airborne communication system and a method of providing secure communication to and from the aircraft. The present invention is based on the concept of providing a redundant communication link from the ground station to the aircraft. The redundant communication link comprises a first communication link and at least a second different communication link, of which the first one is a conventional analogue communication link and the second one is a VoIP-based communication link. Due to the communication redundancy, the communication becomes more secure since the existence of a dual connection increase the availability of the communication link significantly.

  • Patent number: 11838862
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a first wireless access point (AP) of a first basic service set (BSS) receives, from a second wireless AP of a second BSS, data indicative of an 802.11-based target wake time (TWT) schedule of a client of the second BSS. The first wireless AP identifies, from the receive data, a scheduled communication time of the client of the second BSS in the TWT schedule. The first wireless AP generates an 802.11-based TWT schedule for a client of the first BSS that avoids the scheduled communication time of the client of the second BSS. The first wireless AP sends the generated 802.11-based TWT schedule to the client of the first BSS, wherein the sent TWT schedule causes the client of the first BSS to wake from sleep at a scheduled wake time.

  • Patent number: 11811661
    Abstract: In a secure network where the network characteristics are not known, a call admission control algorithm and a preemption control algorithm based on a destination node informing the source node of the observed carried traffic are used to regulate the amount of traffic that needs to be preempted by the source. The amount of traffic that needs to be preempted is based on the carried traffic measured at the destination node. The traffic to be preempted is based on the priority of the traffic, where the lowest priority traffic is the first to be preempted until the amount of traffic preempted is sufficient to allow the remaining traffic to pass through the network without congestion.
