  • Patent number: 10043480
    Abstract: A source device communicates multimedia data to a sink device over a multimedia channel of a multimedia link. The source device comprises an interface to a full duplex control channel of the multimedia link. The source device also comprises first arbitration logic to control transfer of control data with the sink device via the full duplex control channel. The first arbitration logic ignores requests to receive inbound control data from the sink device while the source device is transmitting outbound control data to the sink device. The sink device, on the other hand, comprises second arbitration logic to control transfer of control data with the source device via the full duplex control channel. The second arbitration logic stops transmitting outbound control data via the full duplex control channel responsive to receiving a request to receive incoming control data from the source device.

  • Patent number: 10045222
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of exchanging messages necessary for interaction among entities in a coexistence management system that manages a plurality of frequency sharing devices. Specifically, a method of exchanging messages in a coexistence management system including a coexistence enabler (CE), a coexistence manager (CM), and a coexistence discovery and information server (CDIS) includes generating, by the CM, a ReconfigurationRequest message, sending the ReconfigurationRequest message to the CE, and waiting for a ReconfigurationResponse message from the CE. The ReconfigurationRequest message includes at least one of an operating channel list of a white space object (WSO) served by the CE, a transmission power limitation, a flag indicating whether or not a channel is shared, a transmission schedule, and channel classification information.

  • Patent number: 10039127
    Abstract: A method is described for receiving data from a base station by a first type user equipment (UE) capable of using a plurality of frequency bands based on resource allocation in a first wireless mobile communication system capable of using the plurality of frequency bands. Each of the plurality of frequency bands has a respective bandwidth for a second wireless mobile communication system. Specific control information is received from the base station indicating whether a specific frequency band among the plurality of frequency bands is used for downlink resource allocation or not. Control information reception resources comprise a common resource area and a first type UE-specific resource area. The common resource area is for both the first type UE and a second type UE, the second type UE adapted for the second wireless mobile communication system not capable of using the plurality of frequency bands.

  • Patent number: 9999036
    Abstract: Provided are a radio terminal device, a radio base station device, and a channel signal forming method which can prevent quality degradation of the downlink resource allocation information by reducing the frequency of the zero information addition process to the downlink resource allocation information when executing communication using an uplink unit band and multiple downlink unit bands correlated to the uplink unit band. A base station includes: a PDCCH generation unit which includes the uplink allocation information relating to the uplink unit band only in some of the channel signals formed for each of the downlink unit bands; and a padding unit which adds zero information to the downlink allocation information only in the selected some channel signals having the bandwidth of the corresponding downlink unit band smaller than that of the uplink unit band until the downlink allocation information size becomes equal to the uplink allocation information size.
