  • Patent number: 11805061
    Abstract: A method of congestion control implemented by a sender over a network link that includes a router having a queue. During a first state, information is received from a receiver. The information comprises an estimated maximum bandwidth for the link, a one-way transit time for traffic over the link, and an indication whether the network link is congested. In response to the link being congested, the sender transitions to a second state. While in the second state, a sending rate of packets in reduced, in part to attempt to drain the queue of data packets contributed by the sender. The sender transitions to a third state when the sender estimates that the queue has been drained of the data packets contributed. During the third state, the sending rate is increased until either the sender transitions back to the first state, or receives a new indication that the link is congested.

  • Patent number: 11743787
    Abstract: Handovers in a New Radio-Unlicensed Standalone (NR-U SA) communication system are managed by invoking one of a plurality of handover procedures based on conditions related to the communication device and channel status. One example of one of the plurality of handover procedures includes sending a handover command with an inactivity indicator to the UE device where the UE device transitions to an Inactive State (such as RRC_INACTIVE) in response to a handover failure (HOF) resulting from an occupied unlicensed channel. The UE device provides the 1-RNTI allocated by the last serving gNB when resuming from the RRC_INACTIVE to the active state; thereby reducing the latency associated with a new connection from the idle mode. The target gNB uses the 1-RNTI to retrieve the UE context from the last serving gNB.

  • Patent number: 11700554
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling air-interface connectivity of a user equipment device (UE). A computing system detects, when the UE has dual connectivity including a first air-interface connection with a first access node and a second air-interface connection with a second access node, and when the first air-interface connection is defined on a first carrier, that the UE is moving toward a geographic area where UEs that were served by the first access node on the first carrier as part of dual connectivity lost their dual connectivity due to their having insufficient aggregate dual-connectivity throughput. And based at least on the detecting, the computing system reconfigures the first air-interface connection of the UE's dual connectivity to be defined on a lower-frequency second carrier, to help avoid having the UE lose its dual connectivity.

  • Patent number: 11611916
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for using layer one (L1) or layer two (L2) signaling to indicate a primary cell (PCell) or primary secondary cell (PSCell) to a user equipment (UE). The use of L1 or L2 signaling to indicate a PCell or PSCell may be referred to as L1 or L2 mobility and may lower the latency at the UE associated with transitioning to communicating with the PCell or PSCell. A UE may receive radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a base station indicating a set of cells configured for L1 or L2 mobility and indicating a list of candidate cells for a PCell or PSCell. The UE may then receive L1/L2 signaling from the base station identifying the PCell or indicating activation of the PSCell.

  • Patent number: 11595867
    Abstract: Provided are an address coordination method and device, a base station, a session management function (SMF) network element and a storage medium. In a handover process of a terminal from a source base station side to a target base station side, a UPF split state of a PDU session of the terminal may be determined and data transmission tunnel address coordination may be implemented, thereby enhancing flexibility of split control of the PDU session in the handover process of the terminal, preventing the target base station side from executing PDU session resource modify/modification indication and other processes again to perform the data transmission tunnel address coordination after the terminal completes the handover. Resource admission control efficiency of the target base station side can be improved, so that the PDU session enters a reasonable state of UPF split or UPF non-split, and signaling resources can be saved.
