  • Patent number: 11026254
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a second PDCCH can be transmitted to user equipment. A first physical downlink data channel (PDSCH) corresponding to the first PDCCH, and a second PDSCH corresponding to the second PDCCH can be transmitted to the user equipment. When the first PDSCH has a lower decoding priority than the second PDSCH, and the decoding timing of the first PDSCH and the decoding timing of the second PDSCH overlap, the user device may decode the second PDSCH and not the first PDSCH at the decoding timing, and transmit information with respect to the first PDSCH as first ACK/NACK information. As a reply to the first ACK/NACK information, a third PDCCH not having a corresponding PDSCH may be transmitted to the user equipment.

  • Patent number: 11012361
    Abstract: A terrestrial terminal enables communications, over a network connection through a satellite, between a local host of one or more connected local hosts and a remote host. The terrestrial terminal is configured to perform operations comprising: receiving, from the remote host, a network packet for the local host; obtaining, from the network packet, an included TCP segment; determining, from the TCP segment, a receive window size advertised by the remote host; computing, using one or more characteristics of the network connection, a target receive window size; comparing the target receive window size with the advertised receive window size; and in response to determining that the target receive window size is different from the advertised receive window size: modifying the TCP segment by replacing the advertised receive window size with the target receive window size, and forwarding the network packet with the modified TCP segment to the local host.

  • Patent number: 10986551
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for managing a low latency of handover of MH comprising the steps of: determining imminence handover of the MH whether intra-domain or inter-domain using hybrid location tracking scheme, initiating an intra-domain handover mechanism if the handover is the intra-domain handover through transmitting the MH's context transfer towards multiple new MAG domain based on MCE list; initiating an inter-domain handover mechanism if the handover is the inter-domain handover through transmitting the MH's context transfer towards multiple fLMA domain based on the HLCE list; and redirecting all traffic towards the MH. The above provision is advantageous as it provides a hybrid latency low intra/inter-domain handover mechanism, which proactively coordinates MH's handover process as well as maintains MH's data session continually during its intra/inter-domain roaming within/across PMIPv6 domain respectively.

  • Patent number: 10965505
    Abstract: Flexible waveform synthesis is disclosed for new radio (NR) shared spectrum (NR-SS) networks. In order to accommodate variable transmission resources, a transmitter may construct an M×N grid to model a resource element (RE) map of transmission resources available to the transmitter within a shared communication channel, where M corresponds to a number of symbols for a scheduled physical signal and N corresponds to a number of tones of a transmission bandwidth for the transmitter. The transmitter may then map the M×N grid to the RE map and puncture one or more REs associated with the subbands unavailable for transmission in the transmission resources. The transmitter may then transmit a transmission according to the unpunctured REs of the RE map.
