Patent number: 10536964Abstract: In some implementations, a method of wireless communications between a wireless communications network and wireless user equipment includes receiving, using a primary Time Division Duplex (TDD) configuration, data on a primary component carrier in a first frequency band. Using a secondary TDD configuration, data on a secondary component carrier is received in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band. A Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) for data received on the secondary component carrier is transmitted using a supplemental TDD configuration. A transmission or retransmission on the secondary component carrier uses a supplemental TDD configuration as well. The supplemental TDD configuration is different from the secondary TDD configuration. Furthermore, an uplink supplemental configuration may be different from a downlink supplemental configuration.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2018Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Yiping Wang, Jun Li, Youn Hyoung Heo

Patent number: 10476798Abstract: A network switch that provides deterministic and configurable logic for longest prefix matching (LPM) lookups. For an LPM lookup, a hardware pipeline proceeds sequentially through each prefix length group in decreasing or increasing order of prefix length. Each pipeline stage corresponds to a unique group of one or more prefix lengths. For each group there are 0 or more associated memory blocks (e.g., SRAM) that are active. Which memory blocks are associated with which stage of the pipeline is dynamically configurable. The index of the packet for the current prefix length group is obtained, and all active memory blocks for that prefix group are accessed simultaneously and searched at that index. Once the packet passes through all of the pipeline stages, a longest matched prefix can be used to obtain a next hop address.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: John K.

Patent number: 10439782Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for implicitly linking aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) reports to CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources. In an aspect, the UE may be instructed to report on specific CSI-RS resource(s) via explicit signaling in the UE grant. Other aspects disclose techniques for implicit CSI-RS resource selection by the UE that require fewer signaling resources. Instead of explicitly signaling CSI-RS resources to the UE, the UE may implicitly select CSI-RS resource for CSI feedback reporting based on information known to the UE, e.g. a subframe on which a reporting request is received. This may reduce the impact of the additional signaling in the UE grant.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Stefan Geirhofer, Tao Luo, Wanshi Chen, Peter Gaal, Hao Xu, Kapil Bhattad, Tingfang Ji
