  • Patent number: 11212784
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein concerns, e.g., apparatus, methods, and procedures for generating, transmitting, and processing a combined message that both indicates RAN-based notification area update (RNAU) and a system information request. A user equipment (36-16) which communicates over a radio interface with an access node (22-16) of a radio access network (RAN) comprises receiver circuitry (46), processor circuitry (40), and transmitter circuitry (44). The receiver circuitry (46) is configured to receive first type system information (SI) from the access node (22-16). The first type system information comprises: scheduling information specifying downlink radio resources for second type SI message(s), each of the second type SI message(s) comprising at least one system information block (SIB), and an indication of a delivery mode for each of the second type SI message(s), the delivery mode being either periodic broadcast or on-demand basis.

  • Publication number: 20210387241
    Abstract: There is provided a method for identifying thrust counterforce working point positions of backup rolls of a rolling mill, the method including: changing at least either friction coefficients and inter-roll cross angles between the rolls with an unchanged kiss roll load to cause thrust forces at a plurality of levels to act between the rolls, and measuring thrust counterforces in a roll-axis direction acting on rolls forming at least one of roll pairs other than a roll pair of the backup rolls and measuring backup roll counterforces acting in a vertical direction on the backup rolls at reduction support positions in a kiss roll state; and identifying, based on the measured thrust counterforces, thrust counterforce working point positions of thrust counterforces acting on the backup rolls, using first equilibrium conditional expressions relating to forces acting on the rolls and second equilibrium conditional expressions relating to moments acting on the rolls.

  • Patent number: 11192157
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for identifying an inter-roll cross angle in a rolling mill of four-high or more including at least a pair of work rolls and a pair of backup rolls by, when rolling is not performed, applying a roll bending force to apply a load between rolls of an upper roll assembly including the work roll on the upper side and between rolls of a lower roll assembly including the work roll on the lower side, in a state where a roll gap between the work rolls is put into an open state, detecting vertical roll loads that act in the vertical direction on the rolling support positions on the working side and the driving side of at least one of the backup roll on the upper side or the backup roll on the lower side, and calculating a load difference between the vertical roll loads on the working side and the driving side.

  • Publication number: 20210360496
    Abstract: A wireless terminal that communicates over a radio interface with a wireless access node of a radio access network (RAN) through at least one wireless relay node. The wireless terminal comprises a receiver circuitry configured to receive a reconfiguration message comprising information configured to facilitate a conditional handover from the wireless access node, and a notification message from the at least one wireless relay node. The information comprises at least one identity of a target cell and one or more conditions for the wireless terminal performing the conditional handover autonomously. The conditions include a reception of a notification from the at least one wireless relay node. Such a condition may be, for example, a radio link failure (RLF). The wireless terminal comprises a processor circuitry configured to initiate a handover to the target cell upon receiving the notification message.

  • Patent number: 11172429
    Abstract: Method and apparatus use a value tag in conjunction with transmission and/or processing of system information in a wireless communication network. The method includes a User Equipment (UE) receiving a first type system information block (SIB) from a base station (BS) apparatus. The first type SIB includes an identifier of a second type SIB and a first value tag indicating a version of the second type SIB. The method further includes the UE determining whether to request the second type SIB by comparing the first value tag with a prestored second value tag. The prestored second value tag is associated with a prestored second type SIB. The method further includes the UE transmitting to the BS apparatus a request message for the second type SIB when the prestored second value tag does not match the first value tag and receiving the second SIB from the BS apparatus.
