Patent number: 11882590Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may perform a random access procedure to synchronize with a network for uplink and/or downlink communication. The UE may transmit a first type of random access transmission that includes transmitting a preamble or a second type of random access transmission that includes transmitting a preamble and a random access message. The second type may result in reduced delay but may have lesser SNR tolerance than the first type. In some aspects, the UE may determine whether to transmit the first type or the second type, and may transmit the first type or the second type in a random access channel portion of a slot. The random access channel portion of the slot may be occupied by portions of either the first type of random access transmission or the second type of random access transmission, thereby enabling flexible utilization of multiple types of random access procedure.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Renqiu Wang, Hung Ly, Haitong Sun, Hao Xu

Patent number: 11477783Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling and providing uplink based mobility procedures are disclosed. Embodiments provide uplink based mobility procedures in which one or more physical channel typically used to facilitate uplink based mobility is not utilized. For example, an uplink based mobility process of embodiments utilizes a UL-based mobility specific ID and/or synchronization signals to provide information for decoding signals avoiding the use of physical cell identifier channel (PCICH). Embodiments of an uplink based mobility process utilize a physical channel, such as a physical slot format indication channel (PSFICH) or a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), to provide uplink mobility signal acknowledgements and paging indications avoiding the use of a physical keep alive channel (PKACH).Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2017Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Hung Ly, Heechoon Lee, Keiichi Kubota, Tingfang Ji
