Patent number: 11736250Abstract: Disclosed are a method for transmitting a reference signal, and a communication device. The method is executable by a terminal device or a network device, and comprises: determining at least one time domain resource unit for transmitting a reference signal; and transmitting the reference signal on the at least one time domain resource unit. Since the reference signal is transmitted on the at least one specific time domain resource unit rather than being transmitted by reusing a portion of subcarriers of a time domain resource unit for data transmission, a delay in transmission of the reference signal is reduced, thereby reducing a delay in data demodulation or CSI measurement performed on the basis of the reference signal, and reducing control signaling overhead for indication of a rate matching resource and complexity of performing rate matching.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: GUANGDONG OPPO MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP., LTD.Inventor: Hai Tang

Patent number: 11729674Abstract: A light-weight solution for media handovers between different Radio Access Technologies (RAT) is provided. A user may switch from Wi-Fi to Cellular Data (e.g., LTE/4G/3G/ . . . ), from Cellular data to Wi-Fi, and the like. In contrast to a “make-before-break” design for switching between RATs, the technologies described herein are a “break-before-make” design. When a change in a RAT is detected, an application on the computing device utilizing the connection is notified of the change. Instead of removing connection information, the connection is maintained for a configurable period of time such that the application can re-register with the network to continue the communication session. During a transition to a second RAT, the application provides one or more notifications to the user of the change in RAT. For instance, a graphical user interface (GUI) can be displayed showing the change and/or a tone can be played indicating the change in the RAT.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Vinod Ravichandran
