  • Patent number: 12284067
    Abstract: Various aspects relate generally to the generation and wireless transmission of a long training field (LTF) and a data field within a 320 MHz or 240 MHz bandwidth channel. The LTF includes an LTF sequence based on a concatenation of a plurality of LTF subsequences, each LTF subsequence being associated with a channel bandwidth less than the total bandwidth of the channel, each of the plurality of LTF subsequences being selectively phase-rotated to reduce a peak-to-average power ratio. Each of the plurality of LTF subsequences may be associated with an LTF designed for an 80 MHz bandwidth channel. The LTF and the data field may then be transmitted in a wireless packet to at least one second wireless communication device via the 320 MHz or 240 MHz bandwidth channel.

  • Patent number: 12255854
    Abstract: System and methods for allocating user equipment (UE) specific carrier bandwidth are described. A bases station may advertise cell specific carrier bandwidth and an initial bandwidth part that represent a subset of the carrier bandwidth available to the base station. A UE may respond with an indication that is has bandwidth capabilities that include a greater range of frequencies than those of the cell specific carrier bandwidth. In response, the base station may instruct the UE to use this greater range of frequencies as a UE specific carrier bandwidth, allowing the UE to operate using a range of frequencies that exceed the advertised cell specific carrier bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 12231376
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards time division duplex (TDD) pattern configuration for cellular networks. Example methods can calculate TDD pattern configurations for use in 5G and subsequent generation networks. TDD pattern configurations can be calculated based on traffic demand, which can be estimated based on data channel demands, control channel requirements, user equipment (UE) capabilities, UE radio frequency (RF) conditions, and/or target quality of service (QoS) levels. Time offsets between downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) transmissions can be adjusted to meet service latency requirements and hardware limitations. Cells can opportunistically adopt different TDD patterns according to their individual traffic demands using semi-static and dynamic TDD pattern reconfiguration.

  • Patent number: 12200601
    Abstract: Automated processes, computing systems, devices and other aspects of a wireless data network are described. According to various embodiments, message flooding in the wireless network is reduced through the use of “dummy” messages from the radio unit (RU) to the distributed unit (DU) and/or layer two (L2) switch. The dummy messages prevent timeout of the RU's data in the L2 switch's routing tables, thereby prolonging the period of time that the L2 switch is able to more efficiently direct subsequent traffic toward that particular device.
