Patent number: 11791973Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to improving an available bandwidth for a transceiver of an electronic device and to reducing a footprint of an associated integrated circuit of the electronic device. To do so, an isolation circuit is disposed between a transmit circuit and a receive circuit. The isolation circuit has first and second signal paths. A first portion of the signal propagates along the first signal path and a second portion of the signal propagates along the second signal path. A non-reciprocal phase shifter is disposed on the first signal path to shift a phase of the first portion to match a phase of the second portion and improve isolation between the transmit circuit and the receive circuit. The phase-shifted first portion may be combined with the second portion to reduce or substantially eliminate an insertion loss caused by the isolation circuit.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Joonhoi Hur, Harald Pretl, Rastislav Vazny

Patent number: 11785492Abstract: An anomaly detection and analysis system generates analysis or summary of the anomalies detected from key performance indicators (KPIs). The system receives anomaly data reporting anomalies detected in key performance indicator (KPI) data. The system classifies the reported anomalies into a plurality of anomaly items, wherein anomalies from KPI data that share a set of features are assigned to one anomaly item. The system computes a ranking score for each anomaly item by assigning predefined weights for different anomaly types that are present in the anomaly item. The system sorts a list of anomaly items from the plurality of anomaly items into a sorted list of anomaly items according to the ranking scores computed for the plurality of anomaly items. The system sends the sorted list of anomaly items to a user device for presentation.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Prem Kumar Bodiga, Ariz Jacinto, Chuong Phan, Amer Hamdan, Dung Tan Dang, Sangwoo Han, Zunyan Xiong

Patent number: 11751190Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In one example, a first user equipment (UE) identifies a trigger condition associated with a first communication link with a base station and establishes a second communication link with a second UE. The UE may transmit a relay request to the second UE based on the trigger condition, wherein the relay request instructs the second UE to relay communications for the first UE. The first UE communicates with the base station via the second communication link. In another example, a base station establishes communication links with a first and second UE. The base station receives a data forwarding request that instructs the base station to use the second UE to relay communications between it and the first UE. The base station communicates with the first UE via the second communication link based at least in part on the relay request.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Vasanthan Raghavan, Tianyang Bai, Jung Ho Ryu, Hua Wang, Junyi Li

Patent number: 11742908Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently transmitting uplink signals to a base station using shared antennas. A first device may be in communications with a base station using local antennas and may identify a second device having auxiliary antennas available for transmitting uplink signals to the base station. Because the local antennas and auxiliary antennas may have different capabilities (e.g., due to different power or other constraints), the first device may generate first uplink signals for transmission using the local antennas differently from second uplink signals for transmission using the auxiliary antennas. The first device may transmit the first uplink signals to the base station using the local antennas and transmit the second uplink signals to the second device for transmission to the base station using the auxiliary antennas based on different configurations.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yi Huang, Prashanth Haridas Hande, Wei Yang, Gokul Sridharan, Wanshi Chen, Jay Kumar Sundararajan, Krishna Kiran Mukkavilli

Patent number: 11722367Abstract: Some embodiments provide an elastic architecture for providing a service in a computing system. To perform a service on the data messages, the service architecture uses a service node (SN) group that includes one primary service node (PSN) and zero or more secondary service nodes (SSNs). The service can be performed on a data message by either the PSN or one of the SSN. However, in addition to performing the service, the PSN also performs a load balancing operation that assesses the load on each service node (i.e., on the PSN or each SSN), and based on this assessment, has the data messages distributed to the service node(s) in its SN group. Based on the assessed load, the PSN in some embodiments also has one or more SSNs added to or removed from its SN group. To add or remove an SSN to or from the service node group, the PSN in some embodiments directs a set of controllers to add (e.g., instantiate or allocate) or remove the SSN to or from the SN group.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: NICIRA, INC.Inventors: Jayant Jain, Anirban Sengupta, Mohan Parthasarathy

Patent number: 11722181Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, via a first component carrier, control information that triggers transmission of an aperiodic reference signal in a second component carrier. The UE may identify a quasi co-location (QCL) assumption for reception of the aperiodic reference signal in the second component carrier based at least in part on a control resource set not being configured for the second component carrier. The UE may then monitor for the aperiodic reference signal of the second component carrier based on the QCL assumption. In some cases, the UE may transmit a measurement report to a base station based on a measurement of the reference signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Alexandros Manolakos, Yan Zhou, Parisa Cheraghi, Tao Luo
