  • Patent number: 11621925
    Abstract: An asynchronous medium access control layer scheduler increases efficiency for directional mesh networks by removing extra overhead in the time slots. The efficiency is increased by dividing time slots into sub-slots to allow for a receiving node to be offset by at least one sub-slot from the transmitting node. This enables the scheduler to more efficiently schedule operations for the nodes so that nodes can be performing other functions rather than waiting to receive a transmission or waiting after transmitting a transmission. The sub-slots may be sized to approximate the transmission propagation time or time of flight delay.

  • Patent number: 11616628
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques and systems for beam search pilots for paging channel communications. In some aspects, a user device receives, from a base station of a wireless network, a beam search pilot on a beam. The user device determines that a signal quality of the beam search pilot meets a signal quality threshold. Based on this determination, the user device transmits, to the base station, an indication that the beam search pilot meets the signal quality threshold. The user device then receives a paging channel communication on the beam provided by the base station.

    Abstract: A system and method for detecting the presence of a Bluetooth or Zigbee signal within a short period of time is disclosed. The signal identification circuit has two stages, a first stage that processes windows to determine whether noise is present, and a second stage that processes long windows to determine whether the signal is a particular lower-power network protocol. The signal identification circuit can be configured to detect Bluetooth at 1 Mbps, Bluetooth at 2 Mbps or Zigbee. The signal identification signal may be used to allow a lower-power network controller to coexist with a high duty cycle WiFi controller. The signal identification circuit may also be used for other functions, such as powering on a lower-power network controller, determining CCA, or determining which channel a packet is being transmitted on.

  • Patent number: 11582700
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for determining application timing for path loss reference signals (PL RS). For example, the application timing is determined by determining an applicable time for a medium access control control element (MAC-CE) based PL RS for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and other uplink transmissions. A user equipment (UE) may receive a MAC-CE indicating a PL RS update and determine the applicable time for applying the PL RS update based on one or more conditions. The applicable time may be a period after acknowledgement of the MAC-CE or correspond to a certain measurement sample of a new PL RS a period after acknowledgement of the MAC-CE. The one or more conditions may relate to a total configured number of PL RS for the UE, whether a MAC-CE based PL RS activation feature is enabled, among others.
