  • Publication number: 20240114397
    Abstract: The system determines that an application running user equipment (UE) is requesting a throughput intensive communication over a network. The throughput intensive communication can require a predetermined downlink and uplink throughput. The system sends a first indication to the network, specifying to a base station of the network that the UE is requesting the throughput intensive communication. The base station determines whether it can provide the downlink throughput and the uplink throughput to the UE. Upon determining that the base station cannot provide the downlink or the uplink throughput to the UE, the base station sends a first message to the UE, indicating that the throughput intensive communication is of low quality. Upon receiving the first message, the UE waits for a predetermined criterion to be satisfied before attempting to engage in the throughput intensive communication, thereby reducing network traffic by eschewing sending repeated requests for the throughput intensive communication.

  • Patent number: 11885641
    Abstract: An elastically supported electrode substrate for detecting unbalanced mass of a resonant gyroscope includes an outer frame and an inner structure. A connection part configured to be connected to an anchor of a resonator is arranged at the center of the inner structure, and electrodes are distributed on the inner structure. The inner structure is connected inside the outer frame through elastic beams, and the inner structure has torsional and/or translational resonant modes inside the outer frame. The resonant frequency of the inner structure approaches resonant frequency of an operating mode of the resonator. Since the resonant frequency of the elastically supported electrode substrate approaches the resonant frequency of the operating mode of the resonator, the vibration displacement induced by the unbalanced mass of the elastically supported electrode substrate can be significantly magnified to improve the detection sensitivity.

  • Patent number: 11871294
    Abstract: A cellular communication network may be configured to use a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base station and a New Radio (NR) base station to implement a Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) configuration, in an environment in which the NR base station uses multiple frequency bands that provide respective bandwidths. During an NSA connection with a mobile device, LTE signal strength is used as an indicator of whether the device is within the coverage area of a given NR frequency band. When the LTE signal strength indicates that the device has moved into the coverage area of a frequency band having a higher bandwidth than the currently active NR connection, the device is instructed to release and reestablish its NR connection in order to reconnect using the best available NR frequency band. LTE A1 and/or A5 event measurements may be used to evaluate signal strengths and as triggers for NR release/reestablish operations.

  • Publication number: 20230362648
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves random data integrity protection to a User Equipment (UE). A network controller selects the random data integrity protection for a UE session based on UE context. The network control signals the random integrity protection for the UE session to a wireless access node which signals the UE. A wireless access node generates data units for an interval. The wireless access node randomly selects ones of the data units to reach a downlink amount for the interval. The wireless access node converts the selected data units into integrity-protected units. The wireless access node wirelessly transfers the unprotected data units and the integrity-protected units to the UE. The UE determines the amount of the integrity-protected data units for the interval. The UE determines data integrity of the unprotected data units based on the amount of the integrity-protected units for the interval.
