Patent number: 11937297Abstract: Improvements to asynchronous spatial listen before talk (LBT) procedures are disclosed. In a shared spectrum network spatial LBT procedures are used for directionally targeting the channel reservation process. Prior to transmitting channel reservation signaling, the transmitter and receiver determine an effective interference considering available multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) configuration information. When the effective interference exceeds a predefined threshold, the node may without transmission of its channel reservation signal. Otherwise, when the effective interference remains within the threshold, each node's transmitted channel reservation signal may also identify at least a beamforming matrix either as payload or used to precode the node's channel reservation signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yisheng Xue, Xiaoxia Zhang, Siddhartha Mallik, Aleksandar Damnjanovic

Publication number: 20240032019Abstract: A process for reducing contentions and/or packet collisions during downlink and/or uplink communications in a multipoint environment that uses time slice scheduling to overcome the technical deficiencies of CBAP and rasterized-based scheduling is described herein. For example, an access point (AP) controller configured to communicate with one or more APs may obtain interference data from one or more APs and/or stations (STAs) and/or traffic load data, and can use this information to divide a time period into one or more time slices and to assign each AP to one or more of the time slices. The AP controller can use this information to determine a number of time slices in which to divide the time period and a length (e.g., in time) of each time slice. The AP controller can also use this information to assign one or more APs to each time slice and to assign the STAs to be served by each AP in the AP's assigned time slice.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Jaspreet Singh, Siddhartha Mallik, Peter John Black, Tamer Adel Kadous

Patent number: 11799532Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) request procedures are disclosed for use in wireless communication systems. The serving base station transmits an identifier, which signals that the aperiodic reference signal will be transmitted, either in the same subframe or a future subframe, and then transmits the aperiodic reference signal in the designated subframe. UEs served by the base station will receive the identifier, identify a CSI request, either implicitly through the identifier signal received from the base station or explicitly through a UE-specific CSI request, and then generate a CSI report based on the aperiodic reference signal for transmission back to the serving base station.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Siddhartha Mallik, Tao Luo

Publication number: 20230188276Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an interference-aware beamforming environment in which an AP controller can determine one or more beams of one or more APs to serve various STAs. For example, an AP can request that STA(s) provide one or more uplink pilot signals during different time slots. The AP can receive the uplink pilot signal(s) and determine, for each STA, the uplink beam quality of each transmit beam-receive beam pair over which an uplink pilot signal was received from the respective STA. The AP can use reciprocity to determine, for each STA, the downlink beam quality for various transmit beam-receive beam pairs. The AP can use the determined downlink beam quality to identify the best beam with which to serve various STAs. An AP controller can determine which downlink beam(s) an AP should use to serve a STA based on the downlink beams originally selected by the APs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Siddhartha Mallik, Tamer Adel Kadous, Ali A.

Patent number: 11452133Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless communication system may utilize a listen before talk (LBT) procedure prior to transmission. A base station may perform an enhanced clear channel assessment (eCCA) on one channel and a single clear channel assessment (CCA) on another channel. The base station may then send a grant for a user equipment (UE) to transmit on both channels. The UE may receive the grant, and perform a single CCA on the first channel and an eCCA on the second channel. The UE may then transmit uplink information on both the first channel and the second channel. That is, the base station may send an opportunistic grant for transmitting on the second channel even though it may not have passed eCCA at the base station. The UE may then use the channel if it passes an eCCA.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jing Sun, Tao Luo, Taesang Yoo, Siddhartha Mallik

Patent number: 11412038Abstract: Techniques for performing network-assisted peer discovery to enable peer-to-peer (P2P) communication are described. In one design, a device registers with a network entity (e.g., a directory agent) so that the presence of the device and possibly other information about the device can be made known to the network entity. The network entity collects similar information from other devices. The device sends a request to the network entity, e.g., during or after registration. The request includes information used to match the device with other devices, e.g., information about service(s) provided by the device and/or service(s) requested by the device. The directory agent matches requests received from all devices, determines a match between the device and at least one other device, and sends a notification to perform peer discovery. The device performs peer discovery in response to receiving the notification from the network entity.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2017Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Siddhartha Mallik, Renqiu Wang, Ravi Palanki, Naga Bhushan
