  • Patent number: 12273934
    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to a system for managing media resources from a plurality of mobile devices and delivered by a vehicle. In particular, embodiments relate to an apparatus for providing a queue of media resources from a mobile device to a vehicle. The apparatus comprises a wireless transceiver, a vehicle interface, and a processor. The processor establishes a wireless connection to the mobile device and then receives a uniform resource identifier (URI) for a media resource from the mobile device. It then processes the URI to determine information on the media resource, including its media type and selects a media source associated with the media type that comprises the media resource. The processor next adds the media resource to the queue of media resources, which is broadcast via the wireless connection, and triggers the media source to provide the media resource to the vehicle via the vehicle interface.

  • Patent number: 12255737
    Abstract: A method for communicating a data packet, the method includes receiving a data packet that supports a packet wash operation. The method determines whether the data packet can be forwarded along a network path towards a destination node without any modification. If the data packet cannot be forwarded along the network path towards the destination node without modification, the method determines whether conditions are met for performing the packet wash operation on the data packet. If the conditions are met, the packet wash operation is performed to generate a washed data packet. The packet wash operation generates the washed data packet by modifying a size of a payload of the data packet based on a packet wash specification that associates attributes to a plurality of data payload portions of the payload of the data packet.

  • Patent number: 12207296
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, for a base station, a configuration message indicating a set of random access resources associated with monitoring by a relay node. The UE may transmit a random access message using the random access resources to the relay node and a timing advance associated with uplink data transmissions by the UE. The UE may then communicate with the base station via the relay node based on the random access message. In some examples, a UE may monitor for a relay reference signal from a relay node. The UE may determine a signal strength and a timing of the relay reference signal. The UE may determine whether an RSRP satisfies a threshold receive power, and may determine whether the timing of the relay reference signal is less than a timing threshold. The UE may transmit a downlink relay request to the base station to initiate relay communications.
