  • Patent number: 11570790
    Abstract: A method for communicating in a wireless sensor network (WSN) is described. Using control logic, a first wireless transceiver is caused to transmit a wireless packet to a node in a wireless sensor network. The control logic bases its causing on a transmission coinciding with a break in transmission for a second wireless network, such that the transmission from the first wireless transceiver does not coincide with transmissions made on the second wireless network. Time synchronized channel hopping (TSCH) slot frames for wireless packet transmission in the wireless sensor network are caused to be time offset if the first wireless transceiver is utilizing TSCH. Wake up sequence transmissions for the wireless sensor network are caused to be time offset if the first wireless transceiver is utilizing coordinated sampled listening (CSL).

  • Patent number: 11563510
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Communications by wireless devices may be modified when beam pair links (BPLs) experience decreased link quality. For example, a controlling wireless device may communicate with a secondary wireless device using a set of BPLs. The controlling and secondary wireless device may each cycle through the set of BPLs at respective times of a communication time period. Upon detecting one or more BPLs having a decreased link quality during a portion of the communication time period, the controlling wireless device may transmit a configuration modifying the communications. For instance, the modified communications may include replacing the one or more BPLs with different BPLs having a relatively higher link quality. In other cases, the modified communications may include using repeated transmissions during the portion of the communication time period or excluding the BPLs experiencing decreased link quality from the communication time period.

  • Patent number: 11528695
    Abstract: A method performed by a first communication device for sending one or more control signals to a second communication device. The first communication device and the second communication device operate in a wireless communications network. The first communication device determines, during a first period, that a transmission medium is available for sending the one or more control signals to the second communication device. The first communication device then sends, to the second communication device, the one or more control signals along with a discovery signal, via the transmission medium. The discovery signal and the one or more control signals are sent without data after the first period. The first period is shorter than a second period for determining that the transmission medium is available for sending the data.

  • Patent number: 11438836
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide methods and systems for managing and optimizing reception of SCPTM services. The services can be prioritized based on the attributes of the services. Based on the priorities the services can be received if there is a conflict in scheduling the reception of the services. The services can be scheduled in multiple RF carriers, if a single RF carrier cannot support receiving all the services to be received. The number of services that can be supported for reception can be informed to a network, which can optimize the scheduling of the services. The network can multiplex plurality of services in a single G-RNTI. The variations in SC-MCCH duration of a service can be known by monitoring DCI at modification period boundaries of a service.

  • Patent number: 11425056
    Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically computing a segment routing policy for a segment routing for traffic engineering (SR-TE) path. For example, in a discontinuous SR network in which SR islands (e.g., groups of neighboring routers that are enabled for segment routing) are separated by one or more routers not enabled for segment routing, instead of returning a failure because one or more routers along a path are not enabled for SR, an ingress router may generate an SR-TE operations, administrations, and management (OAM) Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) traceroute packet send the packet to a first border router of the RSVP-enabled devices along a computed path to trigger the creation of a resource reservation Label Switched Path (LSP) through the RSVP-enabled devices. In this way, segment routed LSP may be established to tunnel through the resource reservation LSP for a SR-TE path used in an SR-TE policy.
