  • Patent number: 12707402
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for systems and methods for generating and transmitting an antenna panel specific report indicating panel specific metrics, such as power management maximum power reduction (P-MPR). For example, a UE may generate a panel-specific power headroom report (PHR) based on at least one P-MPR value specific to an antenna panel of the UE. The UE may then transmit the PHR to a network entity, such as a base station (e.g., an eNB/gNB), which may assist in the network entity in scheduling decisions. The report may indicate a different panel or a different beam for an uplink transmission. The indicated alternative panel or beam may account for a maximum permissible exposure.

  • Patent number: 12683679
    Abstract: Systems are disclosed for a communication system optimized for low data volume communications. In embodiments of the invention, the energy used to transmit an acknowledgement message differs depending on whether the acknowledgement is an ACK or a NACK. The energy used to transmit an ACK is set to be significantly less than the energy used to transmit a NACK. Preferably, the energy used to transmit the acknowledgement message is negligible if the acknowledgement message is an ACK compared to if the acknowledgement message is a NACK. In one embodiment, the energy used to transmit an ACK is set near zero and the energy used to transmit a NACK is set approximately four times the energy of an acknowledgement message if the energy required to transmit a NACK and an ACK were equal.

  • Patent number: 12652509
    Abstract: Techniques for deploying location based applications in a network are discussed herein. Such location based applications can be installed or implemented in a network node close to the base station and/or the location of the user equipment (UE) using the location based application in an environment. When a user is within a geofence area associated with the location based applications, the UE can present an indication that location based services are available instead of requiring a user to select an application on their own or thorough an application store. After the exchanging authentication information, the UE can use authentication information to send a request, along with location data or pose data of the UE, to an edge server to render content for presentation on the UE. The edge server can transmit the content to the UE for presenting content at the location in accordance with the location based application.
