Patent number: 12363605Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for a high priority route selection descriptor (RSD) selection timer. A protocol data unit (PDU) session may be established for an application associated with a user equipment (UE). If the PDU session is associated with a lower RSD priority than the highest RSD priority for the application, the UE may initiate an RSD selection timer. After expiration of the RSD selection timer, the UE may try to establish another PDU session for the application with the highest RSD priority for the application. If another PDU session with the highest RSD priority is accepted, the UE may release the initial PDU session with the lower RSD priority and establish a new PDU session with the highest RSD priority. Such implementations may increase data rates, quality of service, and reliability for the application, decrease latency of the application, or decrease power consumption of the UE.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2021Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ying Wang, Li Tan, Chaofeng Hui, Tom Chin, Shailesh Maheshwari

Patent number: 12363633Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and devices for introducing a power save protocol (for example, a lower power mode) for a multi-link devices (MLDs). Some aspects more specifically relate to reducing power consumption in an access point (AP) MLD, and more particularly, to a power save protocol (or a lower power mode) for an AP MLD. In some aspects, an AP MLD may initiate a lower power mode to save power for as long as possible while still maintaining minimal receive (RX) and transmit (TX) functionality. When requested by an associated station (STA), the AP MLD may then transition from the lower power mode to a higher power mode with full RX and TX functionality with a minimal delay. The described techniques may also account for trade-offs and constraints which arise due to different use cases and scenarios as well as different device configurations.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2022Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Alfred Asterjadhi, George Cherian, Abhishek Pramod Patil, Abdel Karim Ajami, Gaurang Naik, Yanjun Sun, Sai Yiu Duncan Ho
