  • Patent number: 11818740
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a set of synchronization signal block (SSB) configurations for a corresponding set of frequency resource sets configured for communications in a shared frequency spectrum band. The UE may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure for each frequency resource set. If an LBT procedure is successful, the UE may select and communicate with a base station on the corresponding frequency resource sets. Accordingly, the UE may receive one or more SSBs from the base station on the selected frequency resource sets based on SSB configurations, which may indicate a floating or fixed configuration for SSBs. The UE may perform radio resource management (RRM) and radio link monitoring based on receiving the SSBs in one or more of the selected frequency resource sets according to the corresponding SSB configurations.

  • Patent number: 11750521
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for determining an estimated capacity for providing data from a telecommunications network to a plurality of end users. In one implementation, the estimated capacity for delivering the data to the end users is per transmission path or per access network connected to the telecommunications network. This information may be aggregated into a traffic flow table that illustrates the traffic flow and available capacity to one or more end user networks. Through analysis of the traffic flow table, the system determines an estimated available capacity to provide the data to the end users. The traffic flow table thus provides a more accurate estimate of the capacity of the telecommunications network to provide the data to the end users over previous capacity estimates.

  • Patent number: 11750512
    Abstract: Some examples relate to identifying a dynamic network parameter probe interval in an SD-WAN. In an example, a controller may define a probe profile of an uplink in the SD-WAN. The probe profile of the uplink may include a static probe interval and a probe retry value. The controller may determine the value of the network parameter for the uplink, prior to expiration of a static probe timer interval. If the value of the network parameter is in negative deviation with a baseline value of the network parameter, the controller may identify a dynamic probe interval for each successive determination of the value of the network parameter. The identification of the dynamic probe interval for a given successive determination may depend on at least one previously determined value of the network parameter. The controller may initiate duplicate network traffic on a secondary uplink in the SD-WAN.

  • Patent number: 11743172
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide novel methods for providing different types of services for a logical network associated with an edge forwarding element acting between the logical network and an external network. The edge forwarding element receives data messages for forwarding and performs a service classification operation to select a set of services of a particular type for the data message. The particular type of service is one of multiple types of services that use different transport mechanisms to forward the data to a set of service nodes (e.g., service virtual machines, or service appliances, etc.) that provide the service. The edge forwarding element receives the data message after the selected set of services has been performed and performs a forwarding operation to forward the data message. In some embodiments, the method is also performed by edge forwarding elements that are at the edges of logical network segments within the logical network.

  • Patent number: 11728947
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described in which a user equipment (UE) may transmit one or more uplink communications to multiple transmission-reception points (TRPs). Transmission parameters for each repetition may be based on parameters (e.g., a number of antenna ports, a spatial domain filter or beam, a rank or number of layers, or any combinations thereof) that are determined from an indication of whether the repetitions are to use different sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets, and indicated SRS resource of each SRS resource set. The indication may include a same number of bits regardless of whether one SRS resource set is used or multiple SRS resource sets are used, and may be based on a prior configuration of the UE.

  • Patent number: 11716647
    Abstract: An embodiment method, by a user equipment (UE), includes performing a channel measurement (CM) on a first subset of a set of non-zero-power (NZP) CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resources and an interference measurement (IM) on at least a second subset of the set of NZP CSI-RS resources. The second subset includes one or more NZP CSI-RS ports. The IM is performed according to assumptions: each NZP CSI-RS port in the second subset corresponds to an interference transmission layer, the IM being in accordance with a set of energy per resource element ratios each associated with one NZP CSI-RS resource in the second subset; and other interference not associated with the interference transmission layers is on the first and second subsets. The method includes generating a channel state information (CSI) report based on the CM and IM and transmitting the CSI report to a network.

  • Patent number: 11711813
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to downlink (DL) control channel signaling for an aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) trigger. In one example, a user equipment (UE) communicates with a network to receive first configuration signaling to identify a first downlink control information (DCI) in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The UE also receives, from the network, the first DCI. The first DCI is appended with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits that are scrambled by a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) and is to indicate an aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) trigger. Next, the UE receives, from the network, channel state information (CSI) reference signals in one or more occasions that follow an occasion in which the first DCI is received and generates and transmits a CSI report in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) based on the CSI reference signals.

  • Patent number: 11711736
    Abstract: A UE (10) provides information on potential S?eNB(s). The information is forwarded from an MeNB (20_1) to an M?eNB (20_2) such that the M?eNB (20_2) can determine, before the handover happens, whether the M?eNB (20_2) will configure a new SeNB (S?eNB) and which S?eNB the M?eNB (20_2) will configure. In one of options, the MeNB (20_1) derives a key S?-KeNB for communication protection between the UE (10) and the S?eNB (30_1), and send the S?-KeNB to the M?eNB (20_2). In another option, the M?eNB (20_2) derives the S?-KeNB from a key KeNB* received from the MeNB (20_1). The M?eNB (20_2) sends the S?-KeNB to the S?eNB (30_1). Moreover, there are also provided several variations to perform SeNB Release, SeNB Addition, Bearer Modification and the like, in which the order and/or timing thereof can be different during the handover procedure.

  • Patent number: 11683235
    Abstract: A control device may be configured to delay an attachment procedure while attachment messages are being transmitted over the network. The control device may be configured to initiate an attachment procedure with a router device on a network at the end a back-off period of time. The attachment procedure may include transmitting attachment messages (e.g., parent request messages) that enable the control device to transmit and receive messages over the network through the router device. During the back-off period of time, the control device may determine an attachment message is received from another control device on the network. And, if an attachment message (e.g., a parent request messages and/or a link request message) is received from another control device, the control device may increase the back-off period of time (e.g., delaying when the control device initiates its attachment procedure).
