  • Patent number: 12219392
    Abstract: Switching a device between bandwidth parts of a channel bandwidth can be managed. A bandwidth part (BWP) management component (BWPMC) can determine characteristics relating to communication rate, quality of service (QoS), or device power based on analysis of data relating to operation of the device, including data relating to service type of a service used by the device or traffic type of data communicated by the device. If heavy traffic is detected, BWPMC can determine whether switching from a smaller BWP to a larger BWP can improve communication rate or QoS. If so, BWPMC can initiate a switching timer. If heavy traffic is still detected when timer has ended, BWPMC can switch from smaller BWP to larger BWP, set another timer, and check again when that timer ends. BWPMC can bypass BWP switching for the device when power saving mode is on or low battery power is detected.

  • Patent number: 12218718
    Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) can be transmitted to a network node incrementally to increase network efficiency. The CSI feedback framework can be enhanced by allowing a user equipment (UE) to report multiple sets of CSI feedback, where each set can comprise a rank indicator (RI), a pre-coder matrix indicator (PMI), and a channel quality indicator (CQI). Since a different set may have a different sub-band, the CSI feedback framework can support the sub-band rank, wherein rank data from a wideband and the sub-band can be used by the network.

  • Patent number: 12219449
    Abstract: In a 6G network, microservices can be utilized in the absence of a core network. For example, after a mobile device has authenticated, through its carrier network, with a transport service layer, microservices can be allocated to the mobile device without having to be transmitted via the core network. Thus, removing the core network from the process can generate a direct line of microservices from the transport layer to the end-user. Furthermore, additional microservices and/or resources can be access through a microservices library. Consequently, packets can be securely transmitted be a wireless network facilitating sending packet profile data from one to many node devices in anticipation of the packet traversing the various node devices.

  • Publication number: 20250039769
    Abstract: Prioritization and selection of signals and associated cells can be managed. User equipment module (UEM) of user equipment (UE) can determine a context associated with a communication session based on analyzing usage behavior information relating to usage behavior, and profile information relating to a profile, associated with the UE. The profile information can be determined by a core module based on information relating to the network or previous communication sessions. Based on analysis results, including context, UEM can determine a characteristic, other than signal strength, that can be more heavily weighted over other characteristics associated with UE or network to facilitate determining which cell, of a cell group, the UE is to connect to for the communication session. UEM can determine and select the cell of the cell group to which the UE is to connect, based on the context and the highest weighted characteristic.

End-to-end latency between endpoints can comprise protocol-induced latency, access network-induced, core-network latency, and network-distance-based latency. Network latency, e.g., network-distance-based latency, also referred to as topological latency, can correspond to communication path length between endpoints. Crowdsourcing of communication path performance information can enable estimation of topological latency, and derivatives thereof, such as topological distance. Crowdsourcing can be the practice of obtaining information or input into a task or project by enlisting the services of a large number of people, either paid or unpaid, e.g., collection of performance information.

  • Patent number: 12213034
    Abstract: Described is intelligent security based on the detection of the presence of mobile devices within a defined region, determined via accurate mobile device location sensing, e.g., within on the order of one meter. Upon detection of the presence of a mobile device within a defined region via mobile device millimeter wave-based position sensing, an identity associated with the mobile device is obtained. If the identity associated with the mobile device is not a trusted identity, action can be taken based on the presence of the identity within the defined region. The intelligent security can be implemented within an application program of a registered user's mobile device and/or a security system, such as a commercially available security system with alarm monitoring services. Various criteria can determine the action(s) to take, including by which region (if more than one), time of day, identity trust level, duration of presence, and the like.

While presenting virtual reality session content to a user, a system or the like can receive a request to pause the virtual reality session from a user. Session state data, e.g., in the form of a virtual reality bookmark, is saved based on the pause request. A later request to resume presentation of the virtual reality content results in the system accessing the virtual reality session data, which is used to present resumed virtual reality session content to the user based on the session state data. A pause request may be for an individual user or for each user participating in a session. Virtual reality bookmarks may be shared with other users.
