  • Patent number: 11206597
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for wireless communications. One apparatus includes processing circuitry that selects a non-default and unevaluated URSP rule as an evaluating URSP rule. The URSP rule includes a traffic descriptor matching an application triggered by the apparatus. The processing circuitry selects a first unevaluated RSD of the evaluating URSP rule as an evaluating RSD, and determines whether the evaluating RSD includes at least one of a non-supported PDU session type, a non-supported SSC mode, and a non-supported S-NSSAI. When the evaluating RSD is determined to include at least one of the non-supported PDU session type, the non-supported SSC mode, and the non-supported S-NSSAI, the processing circuitry determines whether the evaluating URSP rule includes a second unevaluated RSD. The processing circuitry selects the second unevaluated RSD as the evaluating RSD when the evaluating URSP rule is determined to include the second unevaluated RSD.

  • Patent number: 11191092
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a grant scheduling a first higher priority channel that has a higher priority than each channel of multiple lower priority channels scheduled for the UE. The UE may drop a first lower priority channel of the multiple lower priority channels that at least partially overlaps in time with the first higher priority channel based on determining that the grant is received prior to a multiplexing deadline for the multiple lower priority channels. The UE may then transmit or receive a first transmission using the first higher priority channel and a second transmission using a second lower priority channel of the multiple lower priority channels based on the dropping.

  • Patent number: 11190904
    Abstract: To obtain a relative localization between a plurality of mobile devices, a first mobile device observes a second mobile device within a field of view of the first mobile device's camera at time t1, determines a first position of the first mobile device at t1, and receives from the second mobile device a second position of the second mobile device at t1. The first mobile device determines information about the first mobile device's orientation with respect to the second mobile device at t1 based at least in part on the first position and the observation of the second mobile device. The first mobile device identifies two constraints that relate the mobile devices' coordinate systems based at least in part on the second position and the orientation information. The first mobile device's pose relative to the second mobile device may be calculated once at least six constraints are accumulated.

  • Patent number: 11178589
    Abstract: One disclosure of the present specification provides a method in which a user equipment (UE) performs an attach request procedure. The method comprises a step of transmitting an attach request message to a second system when an intersystem change from a first system to the second system is required in a state where a back-off timer associated with a data network name (DNN) based congestion control is running. The attach request message may include information on a packet data unit (PDU) session used by the UE in the first system. The information on the PDU session may be used so as not for the attach request message to be rejected by a second network, even if the back-off timer associated with the DNN-based congestion control is running.

  • Patent number: 11172495
    Abstract: In an aspect, a UE determines whether there is an overlap between a first uplink transmission channel allocated for transmission of a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission channel allocated for transmission of second uplink transmission. The UE generates a combined uplink transmission payload in response to a determination that there is the overlap, wherein the combined uplink transmission payload includes at least a portion of the first uplink transmission and at least a portion of the second uplink transmission. The UE transmits the combined uplink transmission payload on either the first uplink transmission channel or the second uplink transmission channel. A base station receives the combined uplink transmission payload transmitted by the UE.

  • Patent number: 11166171
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a method comprises acquiring, by a network coordinator apparatus, measurement data indicating link conditions between the access nodes and terminal devices served by the access nodes of a cellular communication system. A network coordinator apparatus builds a globally optimized operating model on the basis of the measurement data by at least simulating a change in at least one association between the access nodes and the terminal devices. Based on the measurement data, an effect of the simulated change on overall performance of the cellular communication system is determined. Upon completing the building, the network coordinator apparatus transmits one or more handover instructions for handover of an association of one or more of the terminal devices according to the built operating model.
