  • Patent number: 12101765
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for efficient allocation of feedback resources and transmission of feedback for low latency communications. A first user equipment (UE) may be allocated uplink resources for uplink transmissions having one or more gaps during which a second UE may transmit feedback information to initiate a retransmission within specified time limits to achieve desired quality of service (QoS) targets. The one or more gaps may be provided through a downlink control information message that indicates uplink resources to the first UE based on a first starting transmission symbol and a first length indicator, and a second starting transmission symbol and a second length indicator.

  • Patent number: 11997554
    Abstract: System and methods for smart cell selection and reselection are described. A mobile device may attempt to camp on a cell in a tracking area that has advertised a particular frequency band. If the mobile device is unable to recognize an information element identifying a different subset of the advertised frequency band than that supported by the mobile device, the mobile device will store a record of the tracking area and the advertised frequency band and compare future cell information broadcasts to the entry, avoiding attempts to operate within cells in the same tracking area advertising the same frequency. In this way the mobile device conserves resources by avoiding actions in incompatible cells and avoids storing information about many cells by only storing the tracking area information.
