Patent number: 10588098Abstract: A transmit power control rule for device-to-device (D2D) transmissions may not be necessary during periods in which no uplink transmissions are scheduled to be received by an enhanced Node B base station (eNB). When uplink transmissions are not scheduled to be received by the eNB, the eNB may send a transmit power control (TPC) command to a D2D capable user equipment (D2D UE) that instructs the D2D UE to perform a D2D transmission at a pre-defined transmit power level (e.g., maximum transmit power level). When uplink transmissions are scheduled to be received the eNB, the eNB may send a TPC command to the D2D UE that instructs the D2D UE to perform a D2D transmission at a transmit power level defined by a power control rule.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2019Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hossein Bagheri, Mazin Ali Al-Shalash, Philippe Sartori, Anthony C.

Patent number: 10542464Abstract: It is possible to reduce latency and/or overhead when performing a platoon handover by using the leading vehicle in the platoon to communicate handover requests and/or initial resource requests (e.g., random access transmissions) on behalf of trailing vehicles in the platoon. In one example, a leading vehicle in a platoon communicates a handover request to a source AP to request handover of the entire platoon from the source AP to a target AP. In such an example, the source AP then communicates handover commands to each vehicle in the platoon without receiving separate handover requests from the trailing vehicles, thereby reducing overhead in the access network. The handover commands notify the trailing vehicles of the handover, and may be sequentially communicated to the trailing vehicles based on their order in the platoon.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2017Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Murali Narasimha, Philippe Sartori, Vipul Desai, Weimin Xiao, Mazin Ali Al-Shalash, Anthony C.K.
