  • Patent number: 11770822
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for managing scheduling requests in an unlicensed frequency band. These techniques include a user equipment receiving first and second configuration messages allocating radio resources for first and second logical channels, respectively, at a scheduling request (SR)-transmission occasion on first and second multiple-access (MA) channels, respectively, in the unlicensed frequency band (402, 404). In aspects, the user equipment detects that the first MA channel is busy and the second MA channel is idle (406). The user equipment transmits a scheduling request via the second radio resource (408) and initiates a timer for the second logical channel to prohibit transmission of an additional scheduling request via the second radio resource until expiration of the timer (410). The user equipment also determines whether to initiate another timer for the first logical channel based on a priority level of the first logical channel (414).

  • Patent number: 11770716
    Abstract: A search-based heuristic for assigning frequencies to transmitters in a fixed spectrum frequency assignment (FS-FA) telecommunications network in order to satisfy a set of frequency constraints is described. Each connection in a network must have a frequency assigned from the spectrum which satisfies the set of constraints, which specify the frequency separation which is necessary between frequencies assigned to different transmitters. Violation of these constraints creates interference, which must be minimized. The exemplary heuristic has two main components: a local search heuristic and a compound move. The local search heuristic employs one-change moves and a lookup table that classifies all possible one-change moves as positive or negative, which are chosen until a locally minimal solution is found. The compound move operation shifts the local search to a new location in the search space. The local search and compound move are iterated until a total interference cost function is minimized.
