  • Patent number: 11968701
    Abstract: Network scheduling in unlicensed spectrums is described. A scheduler can assess, at a first time, first conditions of an unlicensed spectrum, such as Long-Term Evolution unlicensed spectrum. Based at least partly on the first conditions, the scheduler can determine a schedule for transmitting data via the unlicensed spectrum. The scheduler can, for a first period of time, facilitate transmission of data between mobile devices that are communicatively coupled to the communication tower based at least partly on the schedule. At a second time after the first time, the scheduler can assess second conditions of the unlicensed spectrum and update the schedule based at least partly on the second conditions to generate an updated schedule. For a second period of time, the scheduler can facilitate transmission of data between the mobile devices based at least in part on the updated schedule.

  • Patent number: 11956708
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an application-based access control service is provided. The service assigns network slice priority values to network slices that are associated with an application or a portion of an application pertaining to end devices. The service calculates a network slice priority value to manage access barring based on a congestion level, and transmits the network slice priority value to end devices. End devices may determine whether access is permitted or not based on the network slice priority value and the assigned network slice priority values associated with the network slices. The service further provides access barring information to network devices of an access network that allows the network devices to reject connection requests and release existing connections. The access barring information may include a network slice priority value and/or network slice identifiers.

  • Patent number: 11936418
    Abstract: A radar signal processing system with a self-interference cancelling function includes an analog front end (AFE) processor, an analog to digital converter (ADC), an adaptive interference canceller (AIC), and a digital to analog converter (DAC). The AFE processor receives an original input signal and generates an analog input signal. The ADC converts the analog input signal to a digital input signal. The AIC generates a digital interference signal digital interference signal by performing an adaptive interference cancellation process according to the digital input signal. The DAC converts the digital interference signal to an analog interference signal. Finally, the analog interference signal is fed back to the AFE and cancelled from the original input signal in the AFE processor while performing the front end process, reducing the interference of the static interference from the leaking of a close-by transmitter during the front end process.

  • Patent number: 11910326
    Abstract: During an uplink TDD slot, an UL UE transmits an UL signal that occupies a slot frequency range. Similarly, during a DL TDD slot, a DL UE receives a DL signal that occupies the slot frequency range. But during an SBFD slot, a UL UE transmits a UL signal that occupies only a first sub-band of the slot frequency range. Similarly, a DL UE receives a DL signal during an SBFD slot that occupies only a second sub-band of the slot frequency range. The second sub-band is distinct from the first sub-band. The DL UE may thus mitigate UE-to-UE interference during an SBFD slot by filtering the DL signal to substantially block the second sub-band from being received at the DL UE.

  • Patent number: 11818238
    Abstract: A processing system includes a controller of a transmitting module for transmitting data to a receiving module across an interconnect compliant with a processor interconnect protocol. The controller indicates the beginning and end of a variable-length data burst using data primitives that are N symbols (bytes) in length, rather than using data primitives that are M symbols in length, as specified by the processor interconnect protocol, where N<M. The controller of the transmitting module signals the beginning of a data burst by sending a short primitive indicating either the beginning of a data burst or signaling the receiving module to reset error detection logic so that error detection information based on the data burst can be calculated. The controller automatically inserts another short primitive indicating the end of a data burst when there is no data to transmit, thus accommodating data bursts of variable lengths.

  • Patent number: 11805547
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for efficient RACH behavior. One apparatus includes a transmitter that transmits a first PRACH preamble to a base unit to start a RACH procedure; a receiver that receives a RAR (Msg2) from the base unit during a random access response window; and a processor that controls the transmitter to transmit a second PRACH preamble in response to being unable to transmit a RACH Msg3 within an indicated transmission opportunity. The processor may obtain multiple transmission opportunities for transmitting a RACH message such as RACH Msg1 or RACH Msg3 or monitor for multiple RACH Msg2 where transmission opportunity data are conveyed via a RACH Order, an RAR, or DCI for the RACH message. A method or system may perform functions of the apparatus.
