  • Patent number: 11690045
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) (NR V2X) sidelink transmission in a fifth generation (5G) network may determine a transport block size (TBS) for transmission of a transport block (TB) within a current sidelink slot. The UE is configured to encode a physical sidelink shared channel (PSCCH) for transmission within the current sidelink slot. The PSCCH may be encoded to include sidelink control information (SCI). The SCI may indicate a reservation of physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) resources within up to three sidelink slots including the current sidelink slot 102. To determine the TBS, the UE may determine number of resource elements (REs) within the current sidelink slot 102 that are available for transmission of the PSSCH by excluding certain REs of the current sidelink slot.

  • Patent number: 11677611
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for distributing control-channel communication load between multiple controllers in a network control system. In some embodiments, the controllers manage physical forwarding elements that forward data between several computing devices (also called hosts or host computers), some or all of which execute one or more virtual machines (VMs). The method of some embodiments distributes a controller assignment list to the host computers. The host computers use this list to identify the controllers with which they need to interact to perform some of the forwarding operations of their associated logical forwarding elements. In some embodiments, agents executing on the host computers (1) review the controller assignment list to identify the appropriate controllers, and (2) establish control channel communications with these controllers to obtain the needed data for effectuating the forwarding operations of their associated physical forwarding elements.

  • Patent number: 11671158
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that support beam failure determination based on a dynamic range of transmission power ratios between two reference signals (e.g., between a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)). A wireless device may identify the dynamic range of transmission power ratios that may be used by a base station (e.g., via indications of maximum and minimum transmission power ratios, indications of one or more offsets from some average transmission power ratio, etc. sent from the base station). The wireless device may use the identified dynamic range of transmission power ratios, along with a CSI-RS measurement, to determine a range of hypothetical block error rates (BLERs). Values within the range of hypothetical BLERs may be compared to a threshold in order to determine a beam failure status (e.g., a beam failure).

  • Patent number: 11581992
    Abstract: With advanced compute capabilities and growing convergence of wireless standards, it is desirable to run multiple wireless standards, e.g., 4G, 5G NR, and Wi-Fi, on a single signal processing system, e.g., a system on a chip (SoC). Such an implementation may require simultaneously receiving and transmitting signals corresponding to each wireless standard and also signal processing according to respective requirements. Typical solutions involve providing separate hardware blocks specific to each wireless standard, which in turn requires more area on the SoC and consumes more power. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a unified hardware that may process signals across different standards in both a transmitting direction and a receiving direction simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 11569968
    Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a communication system capable of minimizing effects due to a delay among a plurality of base station devices as much as possible in scheduling for communication with a terminal device in cooperation among the plurality of base station devices. Cells1 to 3 can each perform scheduling without using information for scheduling notified from one or a plurality of cells among pieces of information for scheduling notified from other cells. For example, in a case where an interface between the cell1 and cell3 has a large delay amount, the cell1 performs scheduling without using information S13 notified to the cell1 by the cell3, and the cell3 performs scheduling without using information S11 notified to the cell3 by the cell1.

  • Patent number: 11553447
    Abstract: Techniques described herein register an endpoint device, such as a utility meter, with multiple headend systems. A system described herein includes a utility meter, which measures consumption of a resource, and a Network Management System (NMS) headend system, which manages a network. The utility meter joins the network and obtains an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the NMS headend system. The utility meter transmits a network registration request to the NMS headend system using the IP address of the NMS headend system and receives, from the NMS headend system, network-related settings of the network. The utility meter obtains an IP address of a second headend system configured to provide a service over the network. Further, the utility meter receives, from the second headend system, configuration settings for using the service of the second headend system and, as such, configures the radio with the network-related settings and the configuration settings.

  • Patent number: 11523468
    Abstract: Example communications systems, methods and network devices are described. One example method includes sending a first message by a first access network device to a core network device to enable the core network device to send a second message to a second access network device, where the first message includes an identity of the second network device. The first message is used to request for X2 transport network layer (TNL) configuration information of a third network device, and the third network device is a network device that has established an X2 connection to the second network device. The first network device receives the X2 TNL configuration information of the third access network device from the second access network device. Therefore, a network device connected to a control plane of a core network can obtain TNL addresses of more network devices that are not connected to the control plane of the core network.
