  • Patent number: 11856495
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for priority handling for ProSe Communications. A relay wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may act as a relay between the network and the remote WTRU. The relay WTRU may receive a temporary mobile group identity (TMGI) request message from a remote WTRU. The TMGI request message may include a TMGI, a ProSe per packet priority level associated with the TMGI, etc. The relay WTRU may receive an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast service (eMBMS) data packet from a network.

  • Patent number: 11811440
    Abstract: Lossless digital cancelation of internally generated spurious products within a signal receiver system is provided. In embodiments, the receiver system generates reference frequencies corresponding to internal components within the receiver (e.g., mixers, oscillators, clocks, analog-digital converters (ADC)) that introduce spurious products into the digitization of a received RF signal. The receiver system precisely duplicates each introduced spurious product based on the reference frequencies and filters out each corresponding spurious product out of the digitized signal. Individualized canceler circuits for each introduced spurious product adjust the corresponding duplicate spurious products to cancel out the introduced spurious product from the digitized signal, resulting in an output signal free of self-generated interference.

  • Patent number: 11804864
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for simultaneously operating as a wireless radio and monitoring the local frequency spectrum. For example, described herein are wireless radio devices that use a secondary receiver to monitor frequencies within the operating band and prevent or avoid interferers, including in particular half-IF interferers. The systems, devices, and methods described herein may adjust the intermediate frequency in a superheterodyne receiver to select an intermediate frequency that minimizes interference. In particular, described herein are apparatuses and methods that use a second receiver which is independent of the first receiver and may be connected to the same receiving antenna to monitor the geographically local frequency spectrum and may detect spurious interferers, allowing the primary receiver to adjust the intermediate frequency and avoid spurious interferes.
