  • Patent number: 11895678
    Abstract: The random access (RA) procedure in NR-U can be improved by enable the NR-U capable UE to choose a suitable BWP and uses this chosen BWP to perform the RA procedure. A suitable BWP is a BWP with a low probability for LBT failure, such as a BWP having a load that is less than a threshold load. For example, whenever the UE has a RA procedure triggered, the UE selects the most suitable BWP based on load information, such as load measurements made by the UE for one or more available BWPs or load information communicated to the UE. The selected BWP for the RA procedure may be different from the UE's currently active BWP, and, in this case, the UE may do a BWP switch before the RA procedure.

  • Patent number: 11838880
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for access point (AP) steering or frequency band steering based on a location of a station (STA). In some aspects, an AP may determine the location of the STA based on timing information and may steer the STA based on the location. To obtain the timing information, the AP may exchange fine timing measurement (FTM) frames with the STA. The AP may determine a distance between itself and the STA based on the timing information. The AP also may obtain distance information from other APs. Using the distance between itself and the STA, as well as the distance information from other APs, the AP may determine a location of the STA and steer the STA based on its location. The AP may steer the STA to a different frequency band of the same AP or to different AP altogether.

  • Patent number: 11785641
    Abstract: Wireless devices may perform modified carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) techniques in order to increase reliability while maintaining a reasonable latency for communications. The wireless devices may perform listen-before-talk (LBT) techniques using an adaptive transmission threshold (e.g., an adaptive CSMA threshold). The transmission threshold may be compared to a measured signal strength magnitude to determine whether the frequency channel is quiet enough for transmission of a packet. The transmission threshold may be initially set to equal a minimum value. The wireless device may increase the transmission threshold after each instance of LBT failure to allow the wireless device to get progressively more likely to transmit the packet each time LBT fails.
