  • Patent number: 11425632
    Abstract: Systems and methods for over-the-air (OTA) updating of data stored on Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) devices are provided. Such techniques enable updates to be provided on a timely basis for NB-IoT devices that lack short message service (SMS) capabilities, through polling an OTA update server in response to the occurrence of triggering events at the NB-IoT devices. Triggering events may be identified based upon conditions such as time since a previous update attempt or number of times the NB-IoT device has awoken since the previous update attempt. The updates may include updates to network lists used by the NB-IoT devices to determine preferred or forbidden networks, thereby reducing battery drain from repeated attempts to connect to inaccessible networks.

  • Patent number: 11405901
    Abstract: Provided is a technique capable of reporting resource block allocation information with no waste when an allocated resource block is reported, because in the current LTE downlink, the waste of the amount of resource allocation information increases in some cases since a restriction is imposed such that 37-bit fixed scheduling information is transmitted. A resource block group consisting of at least one or more resource blocks continuous on the frequency axis is allocated to a terminal, and the number of controlling signals for reporting allocation information indicating the allocated resource blocks is determined.
