  • Patent number: 11901994
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a device used in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for wireless communications. The UE receives a first signaling; and transmits a first radio signal; wherein the first signaling comprises scheduling information of the first radio signal; the first signaling is used to determine a first index, and the first index is used to determine a transmitting antenna port of the first radio signal; transmit power of the first radio signal is first power, and a linear value of the first power is equal to a product of a linear value of second power and a first coefficient; the first coefficient is one of K candidate coefficients. The above method optimizes Uplink transmit power according to the UE's own capabilities.

  • Patent number: 11895542
    Abstract: A technique of performing a HO includes the source BS sending a HO resume message to the UE at the conclusion of a RACH access procedure that occurs in response to a HO command while a second TRX of the UE continues to exchange data packets with the source BS as if no HO command were issued. By continuing to exchange data with the source BS as if there were no HO command until the HO resume message reintroduces a RACH-less HO procedure, the interruption may be reduced to about 4 msec. At any point in time the UE handles only one protocol stack and only one security, which avoids the complexity of the advanced prior art methods.

  • Patent number: 11888740
    Abstract: Techniques for integrating disparate headend traffic ingress services with disparate backend services are disclosed herein. The techniques may include receiving, at a classification and forwarding node of a networked computing environment, a data packet encapsulated according to a first encapsulation protocol that is supported by the classification and forwarding node. The techniques may also include determining, by the classification and forwarding node, that the data packet is to be sent to a service from among a group of services associated with the networked computing environment. The classification and forwarding node may also determine whether the first encapsulation protocol is supported by the service. Based at least in part on determining that the service supports a second encapsulation protocol different than the first encapsulation protocol, the classification and forwarding node may encapsulate the data packet according to the second encapsulation protocol and send the data packet to the service.

  • Patent number: 11882070
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Wireless communications systems may support beamformed transmissions between devices (e.g., to improve coverage range). The beamformed transmissions may depend on discovery and maintenance of receive and transmit beams over which a given device may communicate with another device. Various receive and transmit beams for a given device may be compared using reference signals. As the number of devices attempting to access a cell increases, the number of reference signals to be transmitted may scale proportionally. Large numbers of reference signals may flood time-frequency resources of the system and/or require excessive processing at a mobile device. Scrambling sequences for reference signals may be employed to improve efficiency of resource usage. In aspects, the scrambling sequences may be implicitly determined (e.g., based on resources over which the access request was transmitted).

  • Patent number: 11870156
    Abstract: Different approaches that aim to extend scan range of phased array antennas by means of altering surface waves and/or altering the coupling are disclosed. One approach includes providing a phased array antenna where a surface of a substrate that houses antenna elements of the array includes openings such as trenches or grooves. Such openings in the surface effectively reduce the dielectric constant of the substrate, are easy to manufacture, and may reduce or eliminate the need to use exotic and expensive low-k dielectric materials. Another approach includes providing a phased array antenna where antenna elements are disposed over a substrate in the form of surface mount (SMT) components that are reduced in size/footprint. Using SMT antenna elements with a reduced size allows achieving the same gain while spacing antenna elements farther apart with gaps in between the antenna elements, thus also reducing the overall dielectric constant of the substrate.

The base station and the UE may communicate first data in one or more first slots according to a first slot format. The first slot format may be a first cyclic prefix-based or guard interval-based slot format. The base station may transmit control signaling to the UE to indicate a second slot format different from the first slot format. The second slot format may be a second cyclic prefix-based or guard interval-based slot format. The UE and the base station may switch to communicating second data in one or more second slots in accordance with the second slot format based on the control signaling.
