  • Patent number: 11804922
    Abstract: In one aspect, an MME throttles (or otherwise controls) the amount or frequency of UL data that a UE transmits in the control plane, such as by communicating to the UE rate control information (e.g., a throttling factor or throttling delay). For instance, the MME may throttle NAS messages with user data (i.e., NAS Data PDUs) sent using control plane CIoT EPS optimization by adding a throttling factor and/or a throttling delay in a NAS message sent to the UE.

  • Patent number: 11784775
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to enhanced multi-user (MU) uplink (UL) protocols in wireless networks that allow non-UL transmissions to be performed simultaneously with triggered MU UL transmissions. A station may send a trigger frame triggering MU transmissions with an appropriate signaling to allow non-UL transmissions, i.e. transmission to another station, in a resource unit of the MU transmission. Examples of non-UL transmissions include Direct Link transmissions as well as downlink (DL) transmissions. The present disclosure regards how acknowledgment of or response to such transmissions can be efficiently performed. A response resource unit to be used within a MU transmission by the DiL/DL destination station to send a response to the (DiL/DL) data transmission may be signaled in the trigger frame triggering the DiL/DL transmissions in appropriate resource units.

  • Patent number: 11777673
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) communicates with transmission-reception points (TRPs). When the UE generates uplink control information (UCI), it determines a higher layer index (HLI) value to target the UCI to the appropriate TRP. (Possible values of the HLI are associated with the TRPs.) For UCI on Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), the HLI value may be determined: based on an HLI value configured for a control resource set (CORESET), or for particular Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources; based on UCI type or spatial relation data or an index related to PUCCH resources. For UCI on a configured-grant Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the HLI value may be based on higher layer signals or an indicator relating to channel sounding on spatial relation data. For UCI on MsgA PUSCH in a two-step random access procedure, the HLI value may be based on PUSCH resource unit or PUSCH opportunity.

    Abstract: A networked system is provided for transporting digital media packets, such as audio and video. The network includes network devices interconnected to send and receive packets. Each network device can receive and transmit media signals from media devices. A master clock generates a system time signal that the network devices use, together with a network time protocol to generate a local clock signal synchronised to the system time signal for both rate and offset. The local clock signal governs both the rate and offset of the received or transmitted media signals. The system, which can be implemented using conventional network equipment enables media signals to be transported to meet quality and timing requirements for high quality audio and video reproduction.

  • Patent number: 11757566
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for multi-antenna communication. The UE first monitors a first signaling set in a first time-frequency resource set, then transmits a first radio signal, and finally monitors a second signaling set and a third signaling set in a second time-frequency resource set and a third time-frequency resource set respectively; the first radio signal is used for triggering a monitoring of the second signaling set; and the first radio signal is used for determining that a number of maximum blind decoding times for the third signaling set in the third time-frequency resource set changes from X1 to X3. A new blind decoding mechanism is designed through transmitting the first radio signal, thus the number of blind decoding times of the UE is reassigned, the reception complexity and power consumption of the UE are reduced.

  • Patent number: 11757984
    Abstract: A virtualized computing environment of a telecommunications network comprises a cluster of virtual machines with a one-to-one ratio of active and backup virtual machines. One or more additional clusters of virtual machines have a N-to-K ratio of active and backup virtual machines where N>K. The backup virtual machines are configured to provide failover capacity for processing communications sessions in an event of a failure of one of the active virtual machines. A cluster redundancy capability indicates the ratio of the active and backup virtual machines for that cluster. A predetermined type associated with a requested communication session is determined. A cluster having a cluster redundancy capability corresponding to the predetermined type is selected. Data for the requested communication session is sent to an active virtual machine in the selected cluster.

  • Patent number: 11750326
    Abstract: A terminal device receives a DMRS and data from a network device. The DMRS and the data undergo Alamouti coding in space domain and frequency domain, or the DMRS and the data undergo Alamouti coding in space domain and time domain, and a DMRS obtained through the Alamouti coding is mapped to a first DMRS port and a second DMRS port. A modulation symbol of the first DMRS port is related to a modulation symbol of the second DMRS port. The terminal device demodulates the data based on the DMRS. Therefore, the DMRS corresponds to a transmission scheme of the data, to help the terminal device demodulate the data. This can reduce interference estimation complexity of the terminal device.
