Patent number: 11357039Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support feedback for multicast communications. A user equipment (UE) in a group of UEs may receive multicast information from a base station in a downlink (DL) transmission scheduled by a DL grant. The DL grant may also indicate a set of uplink resources for the group of UEs to use to transmit feedback. The UE may attempt to decode a message containing the multicast information in the DL transmission. If the UE determines the message was successfully decoded, the UE may send no feedback to the base station. If the UE determines the message was not successfully decoded, the UE may transmit a feedback message to the base station to indicate the message was unsuccessfully decoded. The base station may monitor for the feedback message and determine to retransmit the multicast information if the feedback message is received.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Wooseok Nam, Juan Montojo, Tao Luo, Wanshi Chen, Peter Pui Lok Ang, Peter Gaal, Gabi Sarkis

Patent number: 11357055Abstract: Random Access (RA) formats are defined for NB-IoT operation in TDD mode. The formats are defined to allow use of the legacy LTE subframe configurations for TDD. The formats specify a predetermined, even number P of symbol groups composing a RA preamble, wherein each symbol group comprises a Cyclic Prefix (CP) and a number X of symbols. The P symbol groups are divided into symbol group sets fitting into 1, or 2, or 3 contiguous uplink subframes, each comprising at least two symbol groups transmitted back-to-back (i.e., contiguously in time), and at least two symbol group sets are transmitted non-contiguously in time across a number of uplink subframes over which the RA preamble is transmitted. The number of symbol groups in a set can be two or three, and the number of symbol groups is four or six, respectively. Symbol groups within a set are transmitted on adjacent uplink subframes. Five format options are defined, which map to various of the LTE TDD configurations.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Xingqin Lin, Johan Mikael Bergman, Andreas Höglund, Gerardo Agni Medina Acosta, Hazhir Shokri Razaghi, Yutao Sui, Yi-Pin Eric Wang
