  • Patent number: 12143949
    Abstract: An access node may provide synchronization information to a UE. The access node may further provide one or more information blocks, which may include basic network configuration information. Based on the synchronization information and/or the information block(s), the UE may transmit a message to the access node that includes a random access preamble, an identifier of the UE, and/or a buffer status report. Based on the message from the UE, the access node may determine that the UE should remain active and, therefore, may transmit a response to the first message to the UE indicating that the UE should remain active. Thereafter, the UE may receive a connection setup or connection reconfiguration message. The connection setup or reconfiguration message may be received from the same or different access node from which the UE received the synchronization information and/or the one or more information blocks.

  • Patent number: 12113610
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies and in particular to a user-distinguished finite-field resource construction method and a finite-field multiple access system. In order to solve the problem of the limitation of the multiple access resource in the current communication field, the present disclosure employs a user-distinguished finite-field resource construction method to construct a basic-field resource and/or extension-field resource, i.e. finite-field resource. During the use of the finite-field resource, each user sending a binary sequence is assigned one codebook marking symbols that 0 and 1 are respectively mapped into a finite field. The transmitter sends a corresponding finite-field symbol sequence. At the receiver, based on the received finite-field symbols, a finite-field symbol sent by each user can be determined uniquely and thus, a binary symbol sent by each user can be decoded. The present disclosure is applied to the finite-field multiple access system.
