  • Patent number: 11716183
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A configuration for a reference signal used to determine a non-linear behavior of transmission components at a transmitting device may be determined. The configuration for the reference signal may be determined based on signaling transmitted by the transmitting device, signaling transmitted by a device that receives the reference signal, or both. Additionally, or alternatively, the configuration for the reference signal may be determined based on a configuration of other signals transmitted by the transmitting device prior to or concurrently with the transmission of the reference signal. The determined configuration may be used to generate and transmit the reference signal or to determine a configuration of a received reference signal. In both cases, a non-linear response of transmission components at the transmitting device may be determined based on the reference signal.

  • Patent number: 11711284
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for determining and communicating Link Performance Predictions (LPPs), such as in connection with management of radio communication links, are discussed herein. The LPPs are predictions of future network behaviors/metrics (e.g., bandwidth, latency, capacity, coverage holes, etc.). The LPPs are communicated to applications and/or network infrastructure, which allows the applications/infrastructure to make operational decisions for improved signaling/link resource utilization. In embodiments, the link performance analysis is divided into multiple layers that determine their own link performance metrics, which are then fused together to make an LPP. Each layer runs different algorithms, and provides respective results to an LPP layer/engine that fuses the results together to obtain the LPP. Other embodiments are described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 11696121
    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus of a user equipment (UE), comprises one or more baseband processors to derive a dynamic scrambling key, and a memory to store the dynamic scrambling key and a temporary UE identifier (temporary UE ID) assigned to the UE. The one or more baseband processors monitor a paging request for a scrambled UE identifier (UE ID) to determine if the paging request is intended for the UE by unscrambling the scrambled UE ID with the dynamic scrambling key to produce the temporary UE ID. The paging request is intended for the UE if the temporary UE ID produced by unscrambling the scrambled UE ID matches the temporary UE ID stored in the memory. A new dynamic scrambling key may be derived each time the UE returns to a radio resource control idle (RRC_IDLE) state.
