  • Patent number: 12133154
    Abstract: A communication system includes a central cloud server that decreases a gain of a currently active path, which corresponds to a primary communication path between a radio access network (RAN) node and one or more user equipment (UEs) via a first set of edge devices, until the currently active path becomes dormant. A gain of a dormant path, corresponding to a secondary communication path is increased until the dormant path becomes a new active path. Further, at least one edge device of the second set of edge devices is caused to transmit one or more beams of radio frequency (RF) signals in one or more specific directions towards one or more new neighboring nodes to establish the secondary communication path that is used as a backup communication path between the RAN node and the one or more UEs via a second set of edge devices different from the first set of edge devices.

  • Patent number: 12075442
    Abstract: A system and method of Random-Access Response, RAR, messaging when a base station employs narrow beamforming. Multiple RAR messages are successively transmitted from the base station to a User Equipment, UE, before any response to a RAR message is received from the UE. Thus, despite any calibration mismatch between Uplink, UL, and Downlink, DL, beams in the beamformed system, a RAR message is not only received by the UE, but is received over the most-suitable DL beam for that UE. Each RAR message may contain a message-specific scheduling-delay indicator in the UL grant carried in the RAR message to provide an adjustable time delay for the UE's uplink transmission scheduled by the UL grant. Multiple RAR transmissions can schedule a single UL transmission at a specific time instance or different UL transmissions at different time intervals. The UE may report to the base station the best DL RAR transmission detected by the UE.
