  • Patent number: 11991583
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for controlling user equipment (UE) functionality associated with a mobility state. A UE may receive one or more mobility-based cell selection factors from a network. At least one mobility-based cell selection factor may indicate a preference for selecting a relatively lower-mobility cell. In some cell reselection examples, if a UE determines that multiple neighbor cells satisfy one or more cell reselection criteria, the UE may select the cell corresponding to the lowest mobility state. According to some call initiation examples in which a UE is configured for wireless communication via multiple subscriber services, the UE may select the subscriber service corresponding to the lower (or lowest) mobility state. According to some radio link failure (RLF) recovery examples in which there are multiple cells suitable for re-establishment, a UE may be configured to select a cell corresponding to the lowest mobility state.

  • Patent number: 11895698
    Abstract: Disclosed are wireless communication system base stations. Each wireless communication base station comprises a communication module and a processor. When the base stations carry out DRS- and nonunicast data-multiplexed transmission, the processors select one channel access type among two channel access types according to whether both of two conditions are satisfied, the two conditions being that the duration of the DRS- and nonunicast data-multiplexed transmission is 1 ms or less, and the duty cycle of DRS transmission is 1/20 or less. Among the two channel access types, the first type is channel access in which random backoff is carried out using a variable-size contention window (CW), the size of the CW being determined according to channel access priority class; and the second type is channel access in which only single time interval-based LBT is carried out.

  • Patent number: 11882590
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may perform a random access procedure to synchronize with a network for uplink and/or downlink communication. The UE may transmit a first type of random access transmission that includes transmitting a preamble or a second type of random access transmission that includes transmitting a preamble and a random access message. The second type may result in reduced delay but may have lesser SNR tolerance than the first type. In some aspects, the UE may determine whether to transmit the first type or the second type, and may transmit the first type or the second type in a random access channel portion of a slot. The random access channel portion of the slot may be occupied by portions of either the first type of random access transmission or the second type of random access transmission, thereby enabling flexible utilization of multiple types of random access procedure.

  • Patent number: 11882517
    Abstract: An IoT service of a provider network may be used to provision edge devices with duplicate device identifiers for edge devices that use a radio communication protocol (e.g., LoRaWAN). This may allow a service provider to accept legitimate registration requests from edge devices instead of automatically rejecting them. When the IoT service receives a registration request, the service determines whether there are other devices registered with the same device ID. If so, then the service determines whether to accept or reject the request. For example, the service may determine whether the number of duplicate device IDs being used for registered devices will remain within a predefined threshold if the device is registered. If so, then the service registers the device. Otherwise, the service rejects the request.
