  • Patent number: 11405165
    Abstract: Provided are a method and device for receiving remaining minimum system information (RMSI) in a wireless communication system. User equipment (UE) receives a synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block from a network, receives information about an offset between the SS/PBCH block and the RMSI from the network, and receives the RMSI from the network on the basis of the information about the offset between the SS/PBCH block and the RMSI. The offset between the SS/PBCH block and the RMSI can be based on the numerology having a smaller subcarrier interval among the numerology of the SS/PBCH block and the numerology of the RMSI, and, more generally, the numerology having the smaller subcarrier interval among the numerology of the SS/PBCH block and the numerology of the RMSI can be the numerology having the smallest subcarrier interval in each frequency range (FR).

  • Patent number: 11398856
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing beamforming techniques to choose transceivers in a wireless mesh network are disclosed. Multiple transceivers are deployed in a wireless virtual reality (VR) environment to provide a high quality path to send an encoded video stream from a graphics source to a head-mounted display (HMD) receiver. When a master transceiver connected to the graphics source does not have a line of sight connection to the HMD, the master transmitter sends the encoded video stream on a path though one or more passive transceivers that have good line of sight connections on the path to the HMD. To determine the quality of the wireless links between the various transceivers and the HMD, beamforming training procedures are performed. These beamforming training procedures are implemented to determine how to route the encoded video stream from the master transceiver to the HMD.

  • Patent number: 11382139
    Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) measures the signal quality of a dedicated downlink reference signal transmitted by a Base Station (BS) to the UE. If the signal quality is below a threshold, the UE initiates a measurement procedure to determine a target handover BS. The UE sequentially transmits an uplink reference signal on each of UE's beams. The BSs estimate the Angle of Arrival (AoA) of any received uplink reference signal, form a dedicated downlink beam pointed toward the AoA and transmit an acknowledgment to the UE on the corresponding beam. The UE estimates the signal quality of the received acknowledgements on the different UE beams, and transmits a handover message on the UE beam on which the acknowledgement with the highest signal quality is received The acknowledgement comprises a preamble, spread using a pseudo-noise sequence specific to each BS.

  • Patent number: 11375048
    Abstract: A method of compensating for potential interruptions in a wireless spatially selective connection over which data at a first compression level is transmitted from a host device to a client device involves determining (S32) that an interruption to the wireless spatially selective connection over which data is being transmitted at a first compression level to a client device is starting or is due to start, compressing (S3Y3) the data at a second compression level that is higher than the first compression level, and forwarding (S34) the data compressed at the second compression level to a transmitting component for wireless spatially non-selective broadcast while the interruption to the spatially selective connection occurs. Determining that the interruption is due to start may involve analysing a historical record of previous interruptions to determine a periodicity of the previous interruptions or receiving information from the transmitting component that an interruption is expected to occur.
