  • Patent number: 11570610
    Abstract: There is a method and system of removing duplicate Visitor Location Register (VLR) records, and updating the VLR's Global Title Address (GTA) in their Home Location Register (HLR) to avoid duplicate VLR impact to customer service, which may result in missed inbound calls and delayed inbound SMS. Duplicate VLR GTA means that one subscriber has more than one VLR record in different Mobile Switching Stations (MSS) or Mobile Switching Centers (MSC). The valid VLR is identified by comparing the “last active timestamp” of the same subscriber identity (IMSI, or MSISDN, or MDN) of VLR records obtained from each MSS/MSC. The VLR that has the most recent “last active timestamp” is used to identify the active/valid VLR which serves the subscriber. Afterwards the non-active VLR records will be deleted, and the VLR's GTA in HLR will be updated as needed.

  • Patent number: 11552729
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for wireless communications. A UE receives first information, the first information being used for indicating M DCI blind decoding(s); monitors a first-type radio signal respectively on each of S sub-band(s) in a first time-domain resource; and performs at most M1 DCI blind decoding(s) of the M DCI blind decoding(s) on the S sub-band(s) in the first time-domain resource. Herein, the first-type radio signal detected on the S sub-band(s) is used for determining the M1 DCI blind decoding(s) out of the M DCI blind decoding(s). The above method allows the base station to make dynamic adjustments to the UE's blind decoding on PDCCH resources according to LBT results, ensuring that sufficient PDCCH resources are available and not too many PDSCH resources are preempted, and that excessive blind decodings can be avoided.
