  • Patent number: 11677504
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to use with communications that may involve repetitive communications. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, a subset of symbols in a current data message (130/131) are used with a corresponding subset of symbols in a previous data message (120/121), to ascertain whether the current data message is a repetition of the previous data message. This may involve, for instance, generating a resemblance metric to represent semblance between a subset the data symbols of the current data message and a subset the data symbols of the previous data message (102). The resemblance metric can be used in determining whether the current data message is a repetition of the previous data message. This approach may be useful, for example, in ascertaining whether the current message is a repetition without necessarily decoding the message.

  • Patent number: 11652526
    Abstract: Configuration parameters, of channel state information (CSI) resources for a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second TRP of a cell, are received. One or more media access control control elements (MAC CEs) are received. The MAC CEs indicate a first semi persistent CSI report for the first TRP. The MAC CEs indicate a second semi persistent CSI report for the second TRP. First reference signal received power (RSRP) values, for the first semi persistent CSI report, are determined based on the plurality of CSI resources. Second RSRP values, for the second semi persistent CSI report, are determined based on the CSI resources. A codeword, comprising the first RSRP values and the second RSRP values, is created. The codeword is transmitted, based on the first semi persistent CSI report and the second semi persistent CSI report, via a physical uplink control channel resource.

  • Patent number: 11648895
    Abstract: A vehicle and method for intra-vehicle communication within the vehicle involve a sending controller to transmit a message, and a receiving controller to receive the message. The vehicle includes one or more switches to relay the message from the sending controller to the receiving controller. The sending controller and each of the one or more switches include an egress port for transmission of the message. A processor performs bounded timing analysis to determine a total wait time during transmission of the message from the sending controller to the receiving controller as a sum of each egress port wait time at each egress port encountered by the message. Action is taken to avoid or mitigate the total wait time during transmission exceeding a deadline for the message, and the bounded timing analysis includes performing an iterative process and determining a lower bound (LB), an upper bound (UB), and a median value.

  • Patent number: 11641232
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of performing a beam failure recovery in a wireless communication system. The beam failure recovery method performed by a user equipment includes detecting a beam failure, identifying a new beam for the beam failure recovery, and transmitting a beam failure recovery request to a base station using a PRACH resource. The PRACH resource includes a first PRACH resource and a second PRACH resource. The first PRACH resource and the second PRACH resource are associated with a SS block (SSB). If the SSB is identified as the new beam, the beam failure recovery request is transmitted using the first PRACH resource. If a channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) resource is identified as the new beam, the beam failure recovery request is transmitted using the second PRACH resource.

  • Patent number: 11496924
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems of wireless communication in accordance with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) techniques. Some implementations more specifically relate to aligning aggregate medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) subframes with codeword boundaries in a physical-layer service data unit (PSDU). The alignment may be performed by selectively adding padding bits to the PSDU based on the size of each A-MPDU subframe and the lengths of the codewords. In some aspects, an A-MPDU subframe may be aligned with a first codeword of the PSDU so that the first A-MPDU subframe is encoded exclusively within the first codeword. In some other aspects, an A-MPDU subframe may be aligned with two or more contiguous codewords of the PSDU so that the two or more contiguous codewords include the A-MPDU subframe and no portions of any other A-MPDU subframe.
