  • Patent number: 11910262
    Abstract: Aspects relate to radio link management for a first type of link that is a high reliability, low-latency communication link such as ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC). Radio link failure (RLF) of the link may be determined in a wireless device that then transmits a link recovery request (LRR) communicating the RLF and a request for link recovery to a network in a reserved resource in an uplink channel using a second type of link that does not have as high priority (e.g., not as high reliability or as low-latency) as the first type of link, such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB). The wireless device receives a grant of uplink resources from the network responsive to the LRR, where the uplink resources are used by the wireless device to transmit an RLF report to the network and are also of the second type of link.

  • Patent number: 11895047
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) sends an indication supported combinations of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources, unsupported combinations of SRS resources, or compatible SRS resources to a base station. The base station selects one or more SRS resources for the UE from the SRS resources that are supported by the UE or are compatible for the UE. In some examples, the UE receives a configuration from the base station for multiple SRS resource sets. After configuring the UE with multiple SRS resource sets, the base station selects one of the SRS resources sets, and may indicate the selected SRS resource set to the UE. The UE transmits a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to the base station using SRS resources from the selected SRS resource set.

  • Patent number: 11889592
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing latency in a wireless-to-wired backhaul environment, such as a LTE-Backhaul environment. In the LTE-Backhaul embodiment, the system and method rely on a modification to the eNodeB (eNB). This modification causes the eNB to generate a bandwidth report (BWR) upon receipt of a buffer status report (BSR) associated with an RRC encapsulated NSA signaling. The BWR provides a notification to the backhaul system that SCTP signaling, which is associated with the RRC encapsulated NSA signaling, is forthcoming. In addition, the present system and method provides for a periodic transmission of a grant (e.g., a MAP in a DOCSIS embodiment) in the backhaul portion. The backhaul grant provides for the modem to immediately forward the BWR to the modem termination system (MTS) upon receipt of the BWR such that the MTS may prepare a grant for the forth coming SCTP signaling.

  • Patent number: 11877344
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for improving coverage and/or power-saving in a wireless network. In one embodiment, the apparatus and methods provide mechanisms for wireless user device (such as e.g., a 3GPP-compliant UE) to utilize downlink transmissions related to a first access technology (e.g., LTE) to enhance the detection and reception of downlink transmissions from a second access technology (e.g., 5G NR). In one variant, transmissions relating both access technologies are multiplexed on a shared frequency channel; a UE trying to detect 5G NR transmissions from a gNB leverages the easier detection of certain LTE signals such as PSS to enhance detection of the 5G NR signals. Moreover, the location of the LTE PSS (or SSS) can be used to indirectly assist a UE with detection of the NR SSB, such as via reduction of the number of noise-only samples passed to the NR PSS/SSS autocorrelation detector.
