  • Patent number: 11606122
    Abstract: A technique may include determining, by the ultra low latency user device, a decoder matrix; receiving, by the ultra low latency user device, control information indicating that a scheduled transmission of an ultra low latency data block to the ultra low latency user device is co-scheduled with a transmission of a mobile broadband data block to a mobile broadband user device via a set of shared physical resource blocks using multi-user multiple-input, multiple-output (MU-MIMO); and projecting, by the ultra low latency user device, the decoder matrix of the ultra low latency user device to be substantially orthogonal with a reference spatial subspace in which a precoder matrix for the mobile broadband user device is aligned with the reference spatial subspace, to reduce interference at the ultra low latency user device caused by the transmission of the enhanced mobile broadband data block, when receiving the ultra low latency data block.

  • Patent number: 11601373
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for efficiently discarding data packets destined to a mobile station connected to both a master base station and a secondary base station. The master base station configures a secondary discard function in a lower layer of the secondary base station, based on the master discard function in the higher layer of the master base station. The master base station forwards the data packet from the higher layer to the lower of the secondary base station. The secondary discard function of the lower layer at the secondary base station discards the received data packet upon expiry of the secondary timer started by the lower layer upon reception of the data packet from the higher layer at the master base station.

  • Patent number: 11595953
    Abstract: Transmit and/or receive beamforming may be applied to the control channel transmission/reception, e.g., in mmW access link system design. Techniques to identify candidate control channel beams and/or their location in the subframe structure may provide for efficient WTRU operation. A framework for beam formed control channel design may support varying capabilities of mBs and/or WTRUs, and/or may support time and/or spatial domain multiplexing of control channel beams. For a multi-beam system, modifications to reference signal design may discover, identify, measure, and/or decode a control channel beam. Techniques may mitigate inter-beam interference. WTRU monitoring may consider beam search space, perhaps in addition to time and/or frequency search space. Enhancements to downlink control channel may support scheduling narrow data beams. Scheduling techniques may achieve high resource utilization, e.g., perhaps when large bandwidths are available and/or WTRUs may be spatially distributed.
