Patent number: 11412427Abstract: A method for cell reselection control is disclosed, comprising: sending an instruction from a radio network to a user equipment (UE) in an idle mode to adjust an existing cell reselection parameter at a UE to a high value; subsequently instructing the UE to return the cell reselection parameter to its previous value, after a first predetermined interval; and subsequently sending a second instruction to the UE in an idle mode to adjust the cell reselection parameter at the UE to the high value, after a second predetermined periodic interval, causing the UE to reselect to a cell with superior signal even when the UE may be under good coverage attached to an existing macro cell, thereby offloading the macro cell.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Parallel Wireless, Inc.Inventor: Eric Mrozinski

Patent number: 10917856Abstract: Methods are disclosed for determining a block error rate (BLER) and determining if the BLER is significantly above, below or on BLER target. The method includes determining a pair of thresholds including an upper threshold and a lower threshold for a predetermined confidence level and determining a threshold in total number of blocks received. The method further includes determining a Required Compensation BLER from a number of bad blocks, a total number of blocks received and a maximum total number of blocks to receive for a purpose of statistical significance; comparing the Required Compensation BLER against the upper and lower threshold to determine if the BLER is significantly above the BLER target, below the BLER target or inconclusive; and, if the threshold in total number of blocks received is reached, then the inconclusive result is reinterpreted as the BLER being on target.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Parallel Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Eric Mrozinski, Romain Wiorowski

Publication number: 20190320432Abstract: Systems, methods and computer programs are disclosed for providing an indication of a decoding problem in a wireless system. A problem is detected in decoding uplink physical control channels for a Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) or an Enhanced Dedicated Physical Control Channel (E-DPCCH). A modified Up Link (UL) Dedicated Channel (DCH) frame having a spare field modified to indicate a Transport Format Combination Indicator (TFCI) decode failure is sent. In response to receiving the modified UL DCH frame, an Up Link (UL) Outer-Loop Power Control (OLPC) is controlled to keep a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of the UL DPCCH within a predetermined range.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2019Publication date: October 17, 2019Inventors: Eric Mrozinski, Pankaj Chaurasia, Biswajeet Kumar
