Patent number: 10231182Abstract: Techniques for implicit indication of trigger frame start times are described. In various embodiments, an AP may be configured to transmit a trigger frame at the beginning of each target wake time (TWT) interval. In some embodiments, each STA that uses a given TWT interval may be configured to treat a TWT Start Time received from the AP not only as a start time for that TWT interval but also as a start time for the trigger frame to be received from the AP. In various embodiments, each STA in a TWT Group may wait to receive the trigger frame from the AP upon awakening during its TWT interval. The embodiments are not limited in this context.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2015Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: INTEL IP CORPORATIONInventor: Chittabrata Ghosh

Patent number: 10085220Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for compensating for excessive attenuation on an RF connection between a remote radio head (RRH) and an antenna of cell site. In an example configuration, in which first and second RF carriers of a cell site traverse different RF paths between respective RRHs and respective antenna, the second RF carrier may be subject to more attenuation than the first. Consequently, antenna transmission power of the second RF carrier may be below one or another threshold. For communication services to user equipment devices that involve both the first and second RF carriers, the diminished antenna transmission power of the second RF carrier may cause service degradation. In accordance with example embodiments, a controlling network entity may determine that the power is diminished, and responsively reallocate transmission power from an underutilized carrier to the second carrier, thereby boosting its transmission power and remediating service degradation.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Sreekar Marupaduga, Ahmad Saleh
