  • Patent number: 12028872
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Wireless communications systems may employ one or more scheduling constraints to support efficient utilization of techniques for intra-device handling of overlapping scheduled uplink transmissions (e.g., intra-device dynamic resource cancelation and multiplexing) as well as inter-device handling of overlapping scheduled uplink transmissions (e.g., inter-device dynamic resource cancelation and multiplexing). Scheduling constraints may define how a device may apply intra-device and inter-device multiplexing and cancelation rules for various scenarios. For example, a device may apply intra-UE cancelation rules before inter-device cancelation rules. In some examples, later-received grants or uplink preemption indications (ULPIs) may not change a device's previously established decision to drop an uplink transmission.

  • Patent number: 11985597
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless communications system may support one or more communication devices (e.g., user equipment (UE)) operating according to an aperiodic (e.g., and dynamic) discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. For example, a UE may communicate with a device in the wireless communications system (e.g., a base station, another UE) according to a periodic DRX mode. In response to a transition indication, the UE may dynamically transition to the aperiodic DRX mode and may operate according to the aperiodic DRX mode for a duration. To operate according to the aperiodic DRX mode, the UE may be configured to disable a first set of communication operations for the duration, perform a second set of communication operations during the duration, or a combination thereof (e.g., across component carriers of a carrier group, across component carriers of a DRX group).

The switch detects a PTP frame at the first port and the PTP module receives the PTP frame. The switch forwards the PTP frame to the second port in response to the PTP module determining that the PTP frame is a forwardable frame. For another embodiment, the switch includes a ternary content-addressable memory (“TCAM”), and the PTP module configures the TCAM to include forwarding rules. The Layer 2 switch forwards the PTP frame to the second port in response to identifying a particular forwarding rule associated with forwarding the PTP frame.
