  • Patent number: 11195498
    Abstract: Compensating for latency in a streaming virtual reality environment is disclosed. A computing device receives from a head-mounted display device (HMDD) having a field of view (FOV), first pose data that identifies an orientation of the HMDD worn by a participant viewing a virtual world via the HMDD. The computing device renders, based at least in part on the first pose data and a first oversized FOV that is greater than the FOV, oversized imagery that depicts a portion of the virtual world within the FOV of the HMDD and a portion of the virtual world outside of the FOV of the HMDD. The computing device communicates the oversized imagery to the HMDD.

  • Patent number: 11196618
    Abstract: A wireless access node detects a fault and scans for a wireless Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) service. A network controller also detects the fault and signals a neighbor access node to initiate the wireless IAB service. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges fault data with the neighbor access node over the wireless TAB service. The neighbor access node exchanges the fault data with the network controller in response to the signaling. The wireless access node recovers from the fault in response to the fault data.

  • Patent number: 11197328
    Abstract: A wireless terminal communicates test packets via alternative wireless access points, e.g., a WiFi access point, a 4G access point, a 5G access point, to a test server to evaluate alternative wireless links. Test scores are generated for each of the wireless links being evaluated based the performance of previous test packets transmitted over the link. In some embodiments, the controlled rate of test packet transmission over a wireless link is a function of WT speed and/or link score. Link test scores may be, and sometime are, conditionally cost adjusted based on the type of communications network, e.g., scores for more expensive networks, e.g., 4G cellular, are reduced to favor more inexpensive networks such as WiFi. The wireless terminal selects one or more of the alternative wireless connections to use for communication with a communications session end point based on the link scores.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a device in nodes for wireless communication. A first node receives first control information, the first control information being used for indicating a first radio resource group, and the first control information being used for indicating a first priority; chooses a target radio resource from a target resource pool; and transmits a first radio signal in the target radio resource; the first radio signal corresponds to a second priority; if the second priority is lower than the first priority, the target resource pool is orthogonal with the first radio resource group. The method adopted in the present disclosure allows part of reserved resources to be released temporarily to meet abrupt service requirements, so as to achieve timely transmission of aperiodic and emergent service data, and thereby realizing efficient utilization of radio resources.
