The PHY layer (430) receives the transmission from the MAC layer (410), and attempts to send the transmission. The PHY layer (430) further indicates to the MAC layer (410) whether the attempt to send the transmission, by the PHY layer (430), was successful. Responsive to the indication, the MAC layer (410) determines whether the attempt, by the PHY layer (430), to send the transmission was successful. The MAC layer (410) then selectively indicates to the PHY layer (430) whether to attempt to resend the transmission responsive to the determination.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Marco Belleschi, Mattias Bergström, Reem Karaki

Patent number: 11038628Abstract: Techniques are described herein for improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support procedures for configured grants. Generally, the described techniques may relate to restricting a number of retransmissions used during a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process or managing potential scheduling conflicts for the HARQ process from dynamic grants and configured grants. A device (e.g., a user equipment) may initiate a timer or a counter associated with a HARQ process for indicating that transmission attempts for the HARQ process are permitted. The device may identify a transmission occasion of a configured grant in an unlicensed frequency spectrum band that is associated with the HARQ process and may determine that the timer associated with the HARQ process is active. The device may perform a transmission attempt over the transmission occasion of the configured grant based on determining that the timer is active.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2020Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Pravjyot Singh Deogun, Xiaoxia Zhang, Ozcan Ozturk, Kapil Bhattad

Patent number: 11038944Abstract: Technology to provide improved quality-of-experience-aware multimedia streaming is disclosed. Several types of communications that can be made between clients and servers are described. These communications enable improvements to current approaches that are used to achieve hyper-text transfer protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming. These messages can be used in conjunction with computer circuitry configured to: determine a bandwidth available to the server for transmitting HTTP adaptive streaming content to a plurality of clients; receive HTTP requests from the plurality of clients for representations offered by the server in a manifest file for the HTTP adaptive streaming; and calculate an availability of each representation that is offered in the manifest file for the server.

Patent number: 11005599Abstract: A data transmission system includes a data transmitter and a data receiver. The data transmitter outputs ‘N’-bit transmission data (where ‘N’ denotes a natural number which is equal to or greater than two). The data receiver receives the ‘N’-bit transmission data through ‘N’-number of data transmission lines. The data receiver transmits a re-transmission request signal to the data transmitter when the ‘N’-bit transmission data inputted to the data receiver are erroneous data. The data transmitter divides the ‘N’-bit transmission data in response to the re-transmission request signal and operates in a first data re-transmission mode so that the divided transmission data are resent, together with first ground data, to the data receiver.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: SK hynix Inc.Inventors: Do Sun Hong, Seung Gyu Jeong
