Patent number: 11856637Abstract: A network node links search spaces, used by a UE to monitor a control channel for control information for the UE, to an on-duration period of a DRX cycle. Resources of one or both of time-frequency resources or periodicity resources for the search spaces are modified via the linking over the on-duration period. The network node configures the UE so the user equipment implements the modified resources during the on-duration period as the user equipment searches the search spaces. A UE receives configuration, defined so the UE implements modification of resources during an on-duration period of a DRX cycle as the UE searches search spaces during the on-duration period. The resources are one or both of time-frequency resources or periodicity resources. The UE monitors the modified search spaces over the on-duration period, as the UE searches a control channel for control information.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Benoist P. Sebire, Rapeepat Ratasuk

Patent number: 10980023Abstract: Methods and apparatus for control of a device with coexisting radios and capable of carrier aggregation are disclosed. A change in the activation status of a secondary cell can be determined where after interference information to be reported is determined in response to the determined change. The determined interference information is compared to interference information reported previously for a similar change, and a decision is made based thereon whether to send the determined interference information. In a network entity interference information received from at least one device is stored. The stored interference information is used in the control when it is determined that no interference information is received subsequent to a new change in the activation status of the secondary cell.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2016Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventor: Benoist P Sebire

Patent number: 9332512Abstract: At least one of transmissions and receptions over allocated radio resources within a first timing advance group are synchronized using a first timer; and similar for allocated radio resources within a second timing advance group that are synchronized using a second timer. In response to determining that the first timer remains synchronized while the second timer is not synchronized with a radio network which has allocated the respective radio resources, a first procedure is followed for the case in which there is a primary component carrier within the second timing advance group and a different second procedure for the case in which there is no primary component carrier within the second timing advance group. In an exemplary embodiment, a message is sent to the radio network indicating that the second timer has expired. Various distinctions between the two procedures, and how the message is sent, are detailed for different embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2015Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Benoist P.

Patent number: 8625415Abstract: In one exemplary aspect of this invention a method includes buffering data in a user equipment and, in response to an amount of buffered data exceeding a threshold value, triggering the generation of a buffer status report and the sending of the buffer status report to a network access node, where the threshold value is a function of the capacity of a currently allocated uplink data transmission resource and some certain amount of time. In another exemplary embodiment the triggering of the generation of the buffer status report and the sending of the buffer status report to a network access node occurs when an amount of buffered data in a buffer of a particular logical channel group exceeds a maximum value associated with one of a plurality of buffer status report tables that is currently in use.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2010Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Nokia Siemens Networks OyInventors: Benoist P.
