  • Patent number: 11825361
    Abstract: A target Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) switches the path for network traffic to a User Equipment (UE) in an inter-AMF mobility event. The target AMF obtains a path switch request from a target next generation Node B (gNB). The path switch request includes a UE identifier and a source AMF identifier. The target AMF compares the source AMF identifier with a target AMF identifier, and responsive to a determination that the source AMF identifier is different than the target AMF identifier, the target AMF provides a UE context transfer request to the source AMF. The target AMF obtains the UE context from the source AMF and processes the path switch request to update a core network path for a session of the UE. The target AMF also provides a path switch response to the target gNB.

  • Patent number: 11818074
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for estimating clock frequency offsets of industrial wireless sensor networks based on timing response. In the method, a data packet is sent from a node to be synchronized to a reference node. After the reference node receives the data packet, it replies an acknowledgement after a timing response interval, which is mapped according to a sequence number of the data packet. After communication and interaction for multiple times, a relative frequency offset and a fixed delay between node clocks can be estimated by the node to be synchronized without exchanging timestamp information. The present invention does not need to receive or send messages specially used for time synchronization parameter estimation, which realizes a long-term tracking of clock frequency offset with a low computation cost and reduces communication overhead and energy consumption.

  • Patent number: 11818739
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for self-interference or cross-link interference measurements at a user equipment (UE). A UE may receive configuration information from a base station that indicates one or more slot format index (SFI) values that are compatible for cross-link interference or self-interference measurements. Based on the configured SFI(s), the UE may measure interference in multiple symbols, which may be used to estimate an amount of cross-link interference or self-interference, and the UE may transmit a measurement report to the base station. The base station, based on the measurement report, may identify one or more compatible SFIs, beam pairs, or combinations thereof, for subsequent communications with one or more UEs.
