  • Patent number: 12273830
    Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for determining synchronization signal block (SSB) periodicity for cell reselection. In some embodiments, user equipment (UE) may establish a first connection with a first integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node using a first SSB periodicity. The UE may perform a cell reselection process and determine whether a number of candidate IAB nodes include a candidate IAB node with a previously stored candidate SSB periodicity corresponding to the candidate IAB node. If the UE identifies a candidate SSB periodicity, the UE may establish a second connection with the candidate IAB node using the candidate SSB periodicity. If the UE does not identify a previously stored candidate SSB periodicity, the UE may establish a second connection with a second IAB node using a second SSB periodicity that is less than the first SSB periodicity.

  • Patent number: 12213090
    Abstract: A system receives vehicle metric data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle via a network connection. In a first power mode, the vehicle gateway device gathers vehicle metric data related to operation of the vehicle and/or location data and sends requested vehicle metric data to the system. Based on a lack of input, the vehicle gateway device enters a standby power mode to reduce the power consumption of the vehicle gateway device. The vehicle gateway device reduces the power consumption by reducing activity of the vehicle gateway device. Instead of reinitiating a network connection periodically to receive requests for vehicle metric data from the system, the vehicle gateway device maintains the network connection by sending keep alive messages between the vehicle gateway device and the system. The system uses the maintained network connection to request vehicle metric data.
