  • Patent number: 10484223
    Abstract: A user equipment (910) is provided for use in a cellular network. The user equipment includes a transceiver (1010), a processor (1020), and a memory (1030). The user equipment (910) is configured to determine, for a data transmission, a mapping form a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) to a PNT-RS. A DMRS resulting signal is generated from a subset of DMRS for a first resource element in a subcarrier. The DMRS resulting signal is copied from the first resource element to a second resource element assigned to the PNT-RS in the subcarrier. The data transmission is transmitted using the DMRS resulting signal and the PNT-RS.

  • Patent number: 10469215
    Abstract: A system and method of operating an Internet of Things (IOT) device and an IOT manager device. The method includes determining, during operation of the IOT device in a low power mode, an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) transmission waveform using two-dimensional (2D) channel state information relevant to a delay-Doppler channel domain. The method further includes transmitting, during operation of the IOT device in a high power mode, the OTFS transmission waveform. The process of determining the OTFS transmission waveform may include, for example, receiving, from the IOT manager device, the 2D channel state information and storing it within a memory of the IOT device. Alternatively, at least one OTFS pilot transmission may be received from the IOT manager device and the 2D channel state information determined using the OTFS pilot transmission.

  • Patent number: 10461901
    Abstract: Proposed are a method and a device for transmitting a signal including a data field in a wireless LAN. For example, an access point (AP) allocates, to a second station, a second frequency band adjacent to a first frequency band, wherein the second frequency band can include a plurality of resource units. In addition, a signal including the data field can be transmitted to the second station through the allocated second frequency band. Furthermore, when the first frequency band is allocated to the first station, the AP can allocate, to the second station, as a null resource unit, a resource unit adjacent to the first frequency band among the plurality of resource units.

  • Patent number: 10455386
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for controlling transmission of machine type communication data to or from machine type communication devices within a mobile communication system. Furthermore, the invention relates to a mobile terminal and network node for implementing such methods, and to implementations of the methods in software. In one aspect of the invention, a mechanism to perform transmission planning (or scheduling) of data transmission from machine type communication devices is suggested. This transmission planning may be based on load estimates at different points in time (e.g. for individual timeslots), and may allow the scheduling of transmissions of machine type communication data at points in time, where the load in the mobile/wireless communication network is expected to be low.

  • Patent number: 10433189
    Abstract: A flexible radio assignment algorithm that reduces co-channel interference in Wi-Fi networks is disclosed. The flexible radio assignment algorithm calculates a density value for each of the APs controlled by a network controller. The flexible radio assignment algorithm selects an AP with the highest density value and determines that a radio in the selected AP is redundant. The flexible radio assignment algorithm manages the redundant radio in the selected AP to mitigate co-channel interference in a frequency band.

  • Patent number: 10425354
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a resource allocation method, a packet communication method, and an apparatus. The resource allocation method includes: dividing, by a controller, a cloud data center network into multiple independent logical zones; allocating a corresponding tunnel label range to each logical zone; when a virtual network request for allocating a resource to a tenant is received, searching the logical zones to obtain a logical zone that meets the virtual network request; and allocating a tunnel label to the tenant according to a tunnel label range corresponding to the logical zone that meets the virtual network request. Because each logical zone is independent, during tunnel label range allocation, a same tunnel label range can be allocated to different logical zones. In this way, a same tunnel label can be allocated to different switches in different logical zones, implementing reuse of the tunnel label.

  • Patent number: 10405247
    Abstract: A method for handover in a telecommunication system is disclosed. The method determines a traffic time pattern in a handover situation where a user equipment is handed over from a source cell to a target cell in the telecommunication system. History information relating to a traffic time pattern used in the source cell by the user equipment being handed over is forwarded from a controller node of said source cell to a controller node of said target cell. In the target cell, a traffic time pattern to be used by said user equipment in said target cell after the handover is estimated by taking into consideration at least said history information.

  • Patent number: 10405348
    Abstract: A receiving device may remain in omni-directional mode while receiving RTS messages from transmitting devices. Multiple devices may transmit RTS messages at the same time, causing interference and preventing intended recipients of the RTS messages from transmitting a CTS message. To increase medium reuse, RTS may be transmitted and received in a slotted and directional manner. A receiving device may select a sweeping pattern for receiving transmission from neighboring devices. The receiving device may also determine one or more time slots allocated to each of the neighboring devices for receiving transmissions from the neighboring devices. The receiving device may transmit an indication of the sweeping pattern and the time slots to one or more of the neighboring devices. Subsequently, during one of the indicated time slots, the receiving device may perform a beam sweep to receive one or more RTS messages from one of the neighboring devices.

  • Patent number: 10405304
    Abstract: When downlink data allocation is indicated in an ePDCCH, this terminal device can determine PUCCH resources to be used in notification of response signals indicating results of error detection of downlink data without imposing scheduling restrictions on future DL subframes. In this device, an extraction unit receives downlink data on multiple unit bands. A CRC unit detects errors in the downlink data. A response signal generation unit generates a response signal by using the results of error detection of the downlink data obtained by the CRC unit. The control unit arranges the response signal in the PUCCH resources corresponding to the current DL subframe.
