Patent number: 11543442Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting node outages in a mesh network. A tracking node in the mesh network detects a set of signals originating from a tracked node in the mesh network. The set of signals includes beacons and communication messages transmitted by the tracked node. The tracking node determines that a threshold number of the alive beacon intervals have passed since receiving a most recent signal from the tracked node. The tracking node then outputs a ping to the tracked node requesting a response to the ping. When the response to the ping is not received from the tracked node, the tracking node transmits an outage alarm message to a next topologically higher layer of the mesh network, the outage alarm message comprising an identification of the tracked node.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: LANDIS+GYR INNOVATIONS, INC.Inventors: Ruben E.

Patent number: 11502811Abstract: Subcarrier spacing (SCS) for data may be adapted or dynamically configured based on the occurrence or presence of a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission. For example, during a SSB transmission, the SCS of data may be automatically switched from some default data SCS to a second SCS (e.g., the SCS of the SSB) to allow for frequency division multiplexing (FDM) of data and SSB where the data and SSB use the same numerology. As such, communicating devices (e.g., a base station and a user equipment (UE)) may identify some location or configuration for a SSB, and may determine a second subcarrier spacing (e.g., a subcarrier spacing associated with the SSB) such that the SCS of data may be adapted to the second subcarrier spacing during the FDM of the SSB and the data. The SSB and data may thus be contemporaneously transmitted or received using the second SCS.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sungwoo Park, Jing Sun, Wooseok Nam, Tao Luo, Xiaoxia Zhang, Zhifei Fan, Akula Reddy, Ahmed Abdelaziz Ibrahim Abdelaziz Zewail, Srinivas Yerramalli
