  • Patent number: 10785704
    Abstract: Technologies to improve band edge channel performance for radios are described. One device includes a baseband processor with an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) physical layer (PHY) parameter structure. The OFDM PHY layer parameter structure includes first parameter information that controls operation of an OFDM PHY in a first mode. The baseband processor establishes a wireless communication link with a second device and transmits first data to the second device in the first mode using a transmit power level. The baseband processor determines that the device is connected with the second device on a band edge channel that is adjacent to a restricted frequency band. The baseband processor modifies the first parameter information to second parameter information, the second parameter information controls operation of the OFDM PHY in a second mode. The baseband processor transmits transmit second data to the second device in the second mode using the transmit power level.

  • Patent number: 10772005
    Abstract: A system described herein may provide a mechanism for accurately tracking data usage across multiple User Plane Function (“UPF”) devices in a telecommunications network. For example, different types of traffic may be handled by UPFs (e.g., may be dropped or forwarded), and the UPFs may be able to report the dropping of specific types of traffic, without needing to perform deep packet inspection (“DPI”). Header information may be passed from an upstream UPF to a downstream UPF with the traffic, where the header information indicates rules and/or policies that were applied by the upstream UPF. The downstream UPF may identify the rules and/or policies from the upstream UPF, and may use this information when reporting usage to a Session Management Function (“SMF”).

  • Patent number: 10727999
    Abstract: A method and a device for receiving a signal in a wireless communication system to which a multiplex transmission technique is applied are provided. The wireless communication system proposed therein suggests a method for performing multiplex transmission when base stations within a network are synchronized. Particularly, a terminal receives, from a first base station, control information for the transmission of an M number of transmission blocks. The control information includes information for allocating multiplex transmission resources available for the first base station and a second base station during a predetermined subframe. The terminal receives the M number of transmission blocks from the first base station and the second base station via the multiplex transmission resources. Here, the M number of transmission blocks receives from the first base station and the M number of transmission blocks received from the second base station are decoded by using the same reference signal.
