Patent number: 11889592Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.Inventor: Jennifer Andreoli-Fang

Patent number: 11877344Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS OPERATING, LLCInventor: Amitav Mukherjee
