  • Patent number: 11219080
    Abstract: User equipment (UE) can select a connection type for a retry of a failed call based on system information blocks (SIBs) received from a serving base station of a first radio access layer of a telecommunication network. When the UE experiences a call setup failure of a call attempted through the serving base station of the first radio access layer, the UE can determine whether neighbor information within the SIBs includes information about a neighboring base station of a second radio access layer. If it does, the UE can select a retry connection type as a connection to the neighboring base station of the second radio access layer. If it does not, the UE can select the retry connection type as a connection to an alternate network. The UE can then retry the call through the selected retry connection type.

  • Patent number: 11212736
    Abstract: Improved methods, systems, devices, or apparatuses that support search space design are described. The described techniques enhance the number and utility of applied control channel candidates in the presence of blind decoding and control channel element (CCE) channel estimation limitations. The techniques allocate available blind decodes using a nested mapping scheme over one or more dimensions, based on a prioritization. In some other cases, the number of blind decodes may be allocated, either uniformly, or proportionally, between the plurality of search space set occasions. In some cases, the applied control channel candidates may be determined by dropping control channel candidates along one or more dimensions (e.g., search space set, or search space set occasion), until the blind decoding limitation or CE limitation is satisfied.
