  • Patent number: 11974313
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and techniques directed to using a supplementary uplink (SUL) to mitigate a desensitization condition. The described systems and techniques include a user equipment having a desensitization manager application that directs the user equipment to determine a presence of a desensitization condition. The desensitization manager application further directs the user equipment to transmit, to a base station, a first message that requests the base station to allocate, to the user equipment, a portion of resources used for a supplementary uplink between the user equipment and the base station. After receiving a second a message from the base station that identifies the allocated portion of the resources, the desensitization manager application directs the user equipment perform uplink transmissions using the allocated portion of the resources.

  • Patent number: 11963177
    Abstract: Provided are a communication device and an SRS transmission method capable of reducing the possibility of a difference in recognition between the presence or absence of an SRS transmission between a base station and a terminal or of an SRS resource so as to prevent degradation of system throughput. At a terminal (200), a reception processing unit (203) detects control information indicating whether or not to request transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS), whereupon a transmission signal forming unit (207) transmits an A-SRS by way of control by a transmission control unit (206) on the basis of control information. The transmission control unit (206) determines whether or not to execute SRS transmission on the basis of an “SRS Transmission Execution Rule” and the reception status of trigger information.

  • Patent number: 11963258
    Abstract: Methods and devices for prematurely terminating a transmission are provided. The method includes that a base station in a machine type communication (MTC) system receives a first data repeatedly uploaded by a terminal in the MTC system. Additionally, the base station determines whether all data blocks included in the first data are successfully demodulated. The first target number of times is a maximum number of times configured by the base station for the terminal for repeatedly uploading the first data. When determining that all the data blocks included in the first data are successfully demodulated before the total number of times of repeatedly uploading the first data reaches the first target number of times, target downlink control information (DCI) is transmitted to the terminal. The target DCI is configured to instruct the terminal to prematurely terminate uploading the first data to the base station.
