Patent number: 11968745Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for providing UICC/eUICC related response information to information requests at a cellular router. The method includes receiving an information request from a wireless communication module, and determining whether a response to the information request is cached. When the response information is not cached, forwarding the information request to a massive SIM apparatus (MSA). MSA will then respond to the information request. A response based on the MSA's response will then be sent to the wireless communication module for the information request. When the response information is cached, retrieve the response information and send it to the wireless communication module.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Pismo Labs Technology LimitedInventors: Uzair Ahmed Chughtai, Man Kit Kwan, Yu Yeung, Fawad Ahmed, Tomas {hacek over (S)}eirys, Azim Ul Islam, Chun Kit Chan, Kaho Ho Ho

Patent number: 11916997Abstract: An offloading method, of a satellite-to-ground edge computing task, assisted by a satellite and a high-altitude platform can offload a computing task of a ground user equipment (GUE) to a low earth-orbit satellite (LEO SAT), to meet a computing requirement of the GUE and to reduce latency and energy consumption. The method includes four main steps: 1. The GUE selects an associated high-altitude platform. 2. The GUE uses multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) transmission to offload the computing task to the high-altitude platform. 3. The high-altitude platform may also use the MIMO transmission to offload the computing task of the GUE to the LEO SAT. 4. The high-altitude platform and the LEO SAT cooperate to process the computing task of GUE, and reasonably allocate a computing resource to reduce energy consumption; and in MIMO edge computing, the GUE or the high-altitude platform uses the same time-domain and frequency-domain resource.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: SOUTHEAST UNIVERSITYInventors: Junbo Wang, Changfeng Ding, Hua Zhang

Patent number: 11910349Abstract: Improved positioning resolution and latency may be achieved via physical layer signaling between a mobile device (UE) and a base station. The physical layer procedures may aid target UEs in enhancing their positioning accuracy and latency, and/or reducing network overhead while boosting UE power efficiency. Accordingly, a UE may transmit, via physical layer signaling to a base station, a request for positioning-resources, for example in response to a determination that current positioning-resources of the UE need to be adjusted. The UE may in turn receive, via physical layer signaling from the base station, an indication of adjusted positioning-resources, and may optionally receive an indication of corresponding allocated grant-resources.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Seyed Ali Akbar Fakoorian, Wei Zeng, Dawei Zhang
