  • Patent number: 11838748
    Abstract: A C-RAN includes a plurality of remote units; and a central unit communicatively coupled to the remote units via a fronthaul network. The central unit is configured to determine sets of data to be sent to respective subsets of remote units across the fronthaul network. The central unit is also configured to determine a mapping of each of the sets of data to a respective one of the subsets of remote units. The central unit is also configured to, for each of the sets of data, if at least one of the multicast groups wholly contains the respective subset of remote units mapped to that set of data, transmit that set of data to the respective subset of remote units over the fronthaul network by multicasting that set of data to the multicast group that best matches the respective subset of remote units mapped to that set of data.

  • Patent number: 11832330
    Abstract: A beam failure in a full-duplex communication scenario may be detected based on a reference signal measurement. For example, a user equipment (UE) may measure a downlink reference signal transmitted by a base station and/or an uplink reference signal transmitted by the UE and derive a quality parameter based on one or both of these measurements. If the quality parameter indicates a beam failure, the UE may generate an indication that one or more of the beams monitored by the UE have failed.

  • Patent number: 11805528
    Abstract: A base station allocates uplink and/or downlink resources (e.g., in the time domain, frequency domain, spatial domain) to user equipment (UEs), or groups of UEs, that are subsequently reallocated. A base station determines a reallocation of uplink resources and/or downlink resources, and issues a cancellation indication or preemption indicator that corresponds to at least a portion of the previously allocated resources. UEs is configured to monitor for cancellation or preemption indicators, and based on received cancellation or preemption indicators, UEs determines whether or not to proceed with an uplink transmission or downlink reception using their previously allocated resources. Rules for application of cancellation or preemption indicators are identified by a UE and/or base station based on traffic prioritization and cancelation indication prioritization, based on types of scheduled reference signals to be transmitted by the UE, etc.

In an aspect, the RS comprises a puncturable subset and an unpuncturable subset. In an aspect, the puncturable subset comprises resources of the RS that are allowed to be punctured, and the unpuncturable subset comprises resources of the RS that are prohibited from being punctured. In an aspect, the network node transmits the RS such that unpuncturable subset indicates whether or not the puncturable subset of the RS has or has not been punctured.

  • Patent number: 11696239
    Abstract: A primary wireless access node wirelessly transmits reference signals at an initial reference signal power level. The primary wireless access node exchanges data with User Equipment (UEs) and exchanges the data with other network elements. The primary wireless access node exchanges signaling with secondary wireless access nodes. The secondary wireless access nodes exchange data between the UEs and the network elements responsive to the signaling. The primary wireless access node determines the amount of the secondary nodes and determines a new reference signal power level based on the amount of the secondary nodes. The primary wireless access node wirelessly transmits subsequent reference signals at the new reference power level.
