Publication number: 20240080738Abstract: Techniques for recovering quickly from a radio link failure (RLF) by identifying potentially strong candidate cells, while avoiding the conventional delays from relying only on initial ACQ DB scans followed by band-scanning, are disclosed. In one aspect, a wireless apparatus such as a user equipment (UE) may identify a radio link failure (RLF) of an existing wireless connection. The UE may prioritize, during an RLF recovery procedure for restoring the connection, candidate cells using connection criteria from one or more measurement reports. The UE can thereupon restore the connection using a cell having a highest priority. In various configurations, the UE can use cells from A3, A4, A5, inter-RAT or periodic measurement reports to reestablish a stronger connection in a faster time.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2021Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Muralidharan MURUGAN, Nitin PANT, Jun DENG, Rishika TINDOLA, Sham Sunder KANTAYAPALEM, Uttam VYAS

Patent number: 11297490Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow an apparatus to efficiently indicate downgraded band combinations associated with carrier aggregation (CA) to a base station, in which one or more UE capabilities such as the DL MIMO of certain supported band combinations may be downgraded in exchange for other UE capabilities such as FD-MIMO and 256/1024QAM. The apparatus, which may be a UE, receives a request from a base station for information associated with downgraded band combinations and for information corresponding to at least one UE capability associated with each of the downgraded band combinations. After receiving the request, the UE sends, to the base station, information indicating the downgraded band combinations and the at least one UE capability. The UE may thus report downgraded band combinations for a subset of supported band combinations as requested by the base station, thereby minimizing capability reporting of the UE.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Timothy Paul Pals, Alberto Rico Alvarino, Amir Farajidana, Honey Kakkar, Parastoo Kheirkhah, Nitin Pant, Umesh Phuyal, Wenshu Zhang
