  • Patent number: 11856446
    Abstract: A wireless device receives indications of: a first scheduling request (SR) resource corresponding to first logical channel(s) having a first logical channel prioritization (LCP) mapping to first radio resources; and a second SR resource corresponding to second logical channel(s) having a second LCP mapping to second radio resources. A buffer status report (BSR) is triggered in response to data becoming available for the second logical channel(s). First uplink grant(s) indicating a first radio resource of the first radio resources is received. An SR for transmission of the BSR is triggered in response to the first radio resource not meeting the second LCP mapping configured for the second logical channel(s) that triggered the BSR. The SR is transmitted via the second SR resource selected based on the second logical channel(s) triggering the BSR. The BSR is transmitted via a second radio resource of the second radio resources.

  • Patent number: 11844026
    Abstract: A wireless device receives a grant indicating radio resources for transmission of a transport block via a first cell. The radio resources overlap in time with a configured transmission of a preamble via a second cell. a transmission power of one of the preamble or the transport block is adjusted based on a power priority of the preamble. The power priority of the preamble is: higher than a power priority of the transport block based on the second cell being a primary cell; and lower than the power priority of the transport block based on the second cell being a secondary cell. The transport block is transmitted via the radio resources.

  • Patent number: 11831489
    Abstract: A wireless device receives one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters indicating: one or more reference signals for a beam failure detection procedure; and a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration for controlling transitions between a DRX inactive state and a DRX active state. The beam failure detection procedure is performed based on measurements of the one or more reference signals. A first value of a counter is determined based on detecting at least one beam failure instance during the DRX active state. A transition from the DRX active state to the DRX inactive state is made based on the DRX configuration. The beam failure detection procedure is stopped in response to the transitioning. The beam failure detection procedure continues with the first value of the counter after transitioning from the DRX inactive state to the DRX active state.

  • Patent number: 11819595
    Abstract: A system for providing continuous positive air pressure therapy is provided. The system includes a patient interface, a flow generator, a sensor, and a computing device. Wireless transceivers allow wireless communication between the computing device and the flow generator and/or patient interface. Sensor data is communicated to the computing device and a leak determination is made by the computing device based on the sensor data. If a leak is detected, then troubleshooting options for correcting the leak are displayed to the patient on a display of the computing device. The troubleshooting options may be selected based on the sensed data, the type of patient interface, the type of flow generator, or characteristics of the patient using the device.

  • Patent number: 11825487
    Abstract: A wireless device receives a first SR configuration corresponding to first logical channel(s); and a second SR configuration corresponding to second logical channel(s). Based on the first logical channel(s) having data available for uplink transmission: a first counter, of the first SR configuration, is set to a first initial value and incremented based on transmission of a first SR associated with the first logical channel(s); and a random access preamble is transmitted in response to the first counter reaching a first counter value. Based on the second logical channel(s) having data available for uplink transmission: a second counter, of the second SR configuration, is set to a second initial value and incremented based on transmission of a second SR associated with the at least one second logical channel; and a random access preamble is transmitted in response to the second counter reaching a second counter value.

  • Patent number: 11813385
    Abstract: A portable, efficient, integrated humidification system for use, e.g., with a positive airway pressure devices. The portable, efficient, integrated humidification system described herein offers many advantages over current humidification systems! There are many advantages to a portable respiratory humidifier. Portability reduces the amount of space the humidifier occupies in the user's bedroom environment. Portability enhances travel for the user. With less to pack, carry, and manage, the user is more likely to remain adherent to therapy when not at home. Portability allows for better utilization in recreational vehicles, while camping, in foreign countries, in the sleeping cabins of trucks or airliners, and on marine craft.

  • Publication number: 20230248928
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide communications among respiratory therapy device (“TD”), server and intermediary (e.g., a control device (“CTLD”) for the therapy device) to improve security. More secure communication channel(s) may be established using shared secrets derived with different channels. The communications may include transmitting therapy data from TD to server for authentication. The CTLD may receive the data and a nonce from a server. The CTLD receives from the TD a signing key dependent on the nonce and a secret shared by TD and server. The CTLD generates an authorisation code with received therapy data and the key for authentication of the data by the server upon its receipt of the code and data. The server computes (1) a key from the nonce and the secret known to TD, and (2) another authorisation code from received therapy data and the key. Data authentication may involve comparing received and computed codes.
