  • Patent number: 12238745
    Abstract: Data is scrambled at a transmitter according to one of a number of predetermined scrambling sequences which are associated with a particular one of a number of predetermined transmit antenna diversity schemes (i.e., a specific number of transmit antenna ports). Received data is decoded using one or more of the known transmit antenna diversity schemes and the scrambled data is descrambled according to a corresponding descrambling sequence (related to the scrambling sequence). Based on the descrambled data, the receiver determines which transmit antenna diversity scheme (i.e., the number of antenna ports) is used by the transmitter. In one specific embodiment, CRC parity data is scrambled in the transmitter and the receiver descrambles the recovered CRC parity data according to a descrambling sequence, computes CRC parity data from the received data, and compares the descrambled CRC parity data to the newly computed CRC parity data.

  • Patent number: 12207317
    Abstract: A wireless device is configured to receive information from a network node. The information indicates whether or not a medium access control, MAC, service data unit, SDU, for a signaling radio bearer, SRB, or data radio bearer, DRB, is to be received by the wireless device in the same MAC protocol data unit, PDU, as a MAC PDU carrying a random access success response message. This random access success response message indicates both a random access channel and an uplink shared channel payload were decoded successfully. In some embodiments, the wireless device is configured to receive a MAC PDU carrying the random access success response message, and to process the received MAC PDU based on the received information indicating whether a MAC SDU for an SRB or DRB is included in the received MAC PDU.

  • Patent number: 12200748
    Abstract: When a secondary cell of carrier aggregation has been activated, a radio terminal (2) communicates with a radio access network (RAN) node (1) in an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) selected from among a plurality of DL BWPs for the secondary cell. In addition, when the secondary cell is in a dormant state, the radio terminal (2) transmits to the RAN node (1), via a primary cell or another activated serving cell of the carrier aggregation, a channel state information report for a target DL BWP selected from among the plurality of DL BWPs. It is thus, for example, possible to allow the radio terminal to perform channel a state information measurement on a dormant SCell that has been configured with a plurality of BWPs.
