  • Patent number: 11968550
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for applying a beam switch interruption time across one or more active component carriers. In some cases a UE may be able to detect an actual overlap condition in which two physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) monitoring occasions with different beam parameters overlap in time or a soft overlap condition in which a distance between the two PDCCH monitoring occasions in time is less than a threshold value; and to apply a prioritization rule to determine which of the PDCCH monitoring occasions to monitor for PDCCHs in response to detect the actual overlap or a soft overlap (e.g., almost immediately in contact in time or the gap is very small compared to the slot size).

  • Patent number: 11937243
    Abstract: A method for allocating resources for a scheduling request indicator (SRI) is disclosed. An SRI cycle period for use by user equipment (UE) within a cell is transmitted from a NodeB in a cell to UE within the cell. The NodeB transmits a specific SRI subframe offset and an index value to the particular UE within the cell. The specific SRI subframe offset and the index value enable the UE to determine a unique combination of cyclic shift, RS orthogonal cover, data orthogonal cover, and resource block number for the UE to use as a unique physical resource for an SRI in the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

  • Patent number: 11889372
    Abstract: A method of operation of a wireless communication device to perform handover from a source cell to a target cell in a wireless communication system is provided. The wireless communication device performs (202) a beam tracking procedure for one or more neighbor cells to provide, for each neighbor cell, a list of tracked beams for the neighbor cell. The wireless communication device receives (212) a handover command from a source radio access node that instructs the wireless communication device to perform a handover from a source cell served by the source radio access node to a target cell served by a target radio access node. The target cell is one of the one or more neighbor cells for which the beam tracking procedure is performed. The wireless communication device then selects (214) a beam of the target cell from the list of tracked beams for the target cell based on random access resource configuration and/or a quality threshold.

  • Patent number: 11889298
    Abstract: Method and apparatus relating to a wireless device supporting 3GPP 4G and 5G radio interfaces and also supporting non-3GPP access, i.e., WiFi, for selecting a security gateway of a first type e.g., ePDG or a security gateway of a second type, e.g., N3IWF for accessing to the core network of first type, e.g., EPC or of a second type e.g., SGC. As the access methods via ePDG and N3IWF are not the same, the wireless device has to determine based on information obtained by a function in the network and its capabilities whether to use an ePDG or an N3IWF for untrusted non-3GPP access. The wireless device may take into account in the selection whether it is connected to the Core network over 3GPP 4G or 5G radio access network. A corresponding apparatus claim is provided.
