  • Patent number: 11039359
    Abstract: A wireless network control system facilitates a handover of User Equipment (UE) from a source network slice to a target network slice. The source slice delivers an internet-access service to the UE using a Quality-of-Service level and access restrictions. The UE detects a handover trigger and exchanges handover signaling with the source network slice. A hardware-trust controller verifies a hardware identification code embedded in the UE responsive to the handover signaling. A distributed ledger generates a slice template to implement the QoS and access restrictions for the UE in the target network slice in response to the handover signaling and the hardware-trust verification. The signaling circuitry transfers the slice template to the target slice. The target slice delivers internet-access service to the UE using the QoS and the restrictions in response to the slice template.

  • Patent number: 11032833
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and a device for dynamic scheduling in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station. The UE detects a first signaling. The first signaling is a physical layer signaling. The first signaling includes a first bit block, and a number of bits in the first bit block is related to a transmission mode of the first signaling. The transmission mode of the first signaling is one of multiple candidate modes. For the first candidate mode, the first bit block is transmitted multiple times; and for the second candidate mode, the first bit block is transmitted once. The disclosure establishes a relationship between a payload size of the first signaling and a transmission mode of the first signaling, thus reducing the payload size of the first signaling, simplifying the complexity of blind decoding of control signalings, and improving transmission efficiency and spectrum efficiency of the system.
