    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for selecting a minimum measurement duration in listen-before-talk (LBT) sensing slots for high band unlicensed channel access. In some examples, a device may select a minimum sensing duration for an LBT procedure according to a sensing bandwidth or an energy threshold (such as an energy detection threshold or an energy power spectral density threshold), or both. As part of the LBT procedure, the device may measure or sense a wireless channel for at least the selected minimum sensing duration in each sensing slot of the LBT procedure. The device may selectively transmit on the wireless channel according to a result of the LBT procedure. For example, the device may either transmit or refrain from transmitting on the wireless channel depending on whether the device senses the wireless channel to be available.

  • Patent number: 11611973
    Abstract: Examples pertaining to improvement on user equipment (UE) uplink latency in wireless communications are described. When an apparatus is in a special mode, a processor of the apparatus transmits to a network a request for permission to perform an uplink (UL) transmission for a plurality of times. The processor then receives from the network a grant. In response to receiving the grant, the processor performs the UL transmission to the network. In transmitting the request for the plurality of times, the processor transmits the request for the plurality of times at a frequency higher than a frequency at which the request to perform UL transmissions is transmitted to the network when the apparatus is in a normal operational mode.

  • Patent number: 11575557
    Abstract: Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) is a novel modulation scheme with significant benefits for 5G systems. The fundamental theory behind OTFS is presented in this paper as well as its benefits. We start with a mathematical description of the doubly fading delay-Doppler channel and develop a modulation that is tailored to this channel. We model the time varying delay-Doppler channel in the time-frequency domain and derive a new domain (the OTFS domain) where we show that the channel is transformed to a time invariant one and all symbols see the same SNR. We explore aspects of the modulation like delay and Doppler resolution, and address design and implementation issues like multiplexing multiple users and evaluating complexity. Finally we present some performance results where we demonstrate the superiority of OTFS.

  • Patent number: 11576215
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for allocating additional random access channel (RACH) resources. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a random access request to a base station. The base station may respond to the random access request with a random access response or other signaling that indicates additional RACH resources for a second random access request. The UE may select a resource from the additional RACH resources to transmit the second random access request. The network may also configure additional RACH resources for peak times and may indicate the additional RACH resources to the UE. The UE may select a resource from the additional RACH resources or baseline RACH resources and may use the selected resource to transmit a random access request.

  • Patent number: 11570091
    Abstract: An extended service-function chain (SFC) proxy is hosted on a network node and connected to a service path formed by one or more network nodes hosting a chain of service-functions applied to packets traversing the service path. The packets each include a service header having a service path identifier and a service index. A packet of a traffic flow destined for a service-function is received from the service path and sent to the service-function. An indication to offload the traffic flow is received from the service-function. The indication is stored in a flow table having entries each identifying a respective traffic flow. A subsequent packet of the traffic flow is received from the service path. The flow table is searched for the indication to offload the traffic flow. Upon finding the indication, the service-function is bypassed, and the subsequent packet is forwarded along the service path.
