Patent number: 11665572Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting a channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback period to increase uplink capacity in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The uplink capacity is increased by reducing the uplink interference caused by CQI transmissions. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) monitors a status of downlink transmissions to the WTRU and sets the CQI feedback period based on the status of the downlink transmissions to the WTRU. A base station monitors uplink and downlink transmission needs. The base station determines the CQI feedback period of at least one WTRU based on the uplink and downlink transmission needs and sends a command to the WTRU to change the CQI feedback period of the WTRU.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2022Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Paul Marinier, Douglas Castor

Publication number: 20230156537Abstract: A method and system for performing handover in a third generation (3G) long term evolution (LTE) system are disclosed. A source evolved Node-B (eNode-B) makes a handover decision based on measurements and sends a handover request to a target eNode-B. The target eNode-B sends a handover response to the source eNode-B indicating that a handover should commence. The source eNode-B then sends a handover command to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The handover command includes at least one of reconfiguration information, information regarding timing adjustment, relative timing difference between the source eNode-B and the target eNode-B, information regarding an initial scheduling procedure at the target eNode-B, and measurement information for the target eNode-B. The WTRU then accesses the target eNode-B and exchanges layer 1/2 signaling to perform downlink synchronization, timing adjustment, and uplink and downlink resource assignment based on information included in the handover command.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: INTERDIGITAL TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Jin Wang, Stephen E.

Patent number: 11626957Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured to, on a condition that a serving grant having a non-zero value is too small for transmission of a single protocol data unit (PDU) from any scheduled medium access control-d (MAC-d) flow, transmit scheduling information (SI). The WTRU is further configured to produce a trigger on the condition that the serving grant is too small and the transmission of the SI is based on the produced trigger.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventor: Paul Marinier

Publication number: 20230080389Abstract: A Node-B sends a polling message to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU sends an uplink synchronization burst in response to the polling message without contention. The Node-B estimates an uplink timing shift based on the synchronization burst and sends an uplink timing adjustment command to the WTRU. The WTRU then adjusts uplink timing based on the uplink timing adjustment command. Alternatively, the Node-B may send a scheduling message for uplink synchronization to the WTRU. The WTRU may send a synchronization burst based on the scheduling message. Alternatively, the WTRU may perform contention-based uplink synchronization after receiving a synchronization request from the Node-B. The WTRU may enter an idle state instead of performing a handover to a new cell when the WTRU moves to the new cell. A discontinuous reception (DRX) interval for the WTRU may be set based on activity of the WTRU.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Jin Wang, John S.

Publication number: 20220394545Abstract: In a wireless communication system including a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a Node-B, an uplink (UL) scheduling request is transmitted by the WTRU to the Node-B when the WTRU has buffered (user) data to transmit to the Node-B, but needs to have a scheduling grant for UL data transmission.
