  • Patent number: 12507273
    Abstract: A communication system performs a communication between a moving body capable of using multiple communication carriers and an external device. The communication system acquires actual communication quality information that is acquired in real time from a communication device group present in a first area located in a direction of movement of the moving body and indicates an actual measured value of a communication quality of each of the multiple communication carriers in the first area. The communication system determines priority of the multiple communication carriers in the first area based on the actual communication quality information regarding the first area. The communication system determines, based on the priority, at least one communication carrier to be used for the communication between the moving body and the external device in the first area.

  • Patent number: 12507274
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide a slice management and prioritization service on a per user equipment (UE) device level. A network device in a core network may receive a notification that a UE device has exhausted a quota of available simultaneous data radio bearers (DRBs) and, afterwards, receive an indication that an application on the UE device has requested a new protocol data unit (PDU) session on a requested network slice that is not currently active for the UE device. The network device may identify relative priorities for the requested network slice and active network slices for the UE device; determine, based on the relative priorities, if the new PDU session can preempt a DRB for an active PDU session; and delete the active PDU session when it is determined the new PDU session can preempt a DRB for an active PDU session.

  • Patent number: 12471132
    Abstract: Wireless communications systems may support identification or determination of a common default beam for a component carrier (CC) group (e.g., such that all CCs of a CC group may be associated with a same default beam). For example, a CC group may be configured or established to include one or more CCs (e.g., for carrier aggregation), where each CC group may share a same analog beamformer. As such, a beam (e.g., a default uplink/downlink beam) may be established as default or common across CCs of a CC group (e.g., versus default beams being configured or established for individual CCs). Such an established default beam of a CC group (e.g., a default beam common to all CCs of a CC group) may include or refer to a default downlink shared channel beam, a default sounding reference signal (SRS) beam, a default downlink control channel beam, etc.
