  • Patent number: 11665651
    Abstract: Example signal sending methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes receiving a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) from a terminal device. The MAC CE indicates a power headroom in a first power headroom set or a power headroom in a second power headroom set. If the MAC CE indicates the power headroom in the first power headroom set, the power headroom in the first power headroom set is determined based on a second bit field comprised in the MAC CE, where the MAC CE includes a first bit field and the second bit field, and the first bit field is a reserved bit field. If the MAC CE indicates the power headroom in the second power headroom set, the power headroom in the second power headroom set is determined based on a third bit field comprised in the MAC CE, where the third bit field includes a bit of the first bit field and a bit of the second bit field.

  • Patent number: 11606798
    Abstract: A terrestrial communication systems, specifically a signal collision avoidance system between a terrestrial transmitter and an airborne receiver, is disclosed. The terrestrial communication system includes an electronic processor configured to determine a receive frequency from a nearby airborne receiver, determine a transmit frequency from a communicatively coupled terrestrial transmitter, and modify the transmit frequency of the terrestrial transmitter based on the determined receive frequency and transmit frequency. To modify the transmit frequency, the electronic processor compares the receive frequency and the transmit frequency to determine a channel type. Based on the determined channel type, including co-channel and adjacent-channel, the electronic processor modifies a spectrum signature of the transmit frequency so that the transmit frequency does not interfere with the receive frequency of the airborne receiver.
