Patent number: 11202250Abstract: A communication method, including, when a terminal device is in an idle mode or an inactive mode, a first control plane functional entity that obtains access network information of the terminal device and sends context information of the terminal device to an access network device corresponding to the access network information. Therefore, when the terminal device is in the idle mode or the inactive mode, the first control plane functional entity obtains the access network information of the terminal device and pre-sends the context information of the terminal device to the access network device corresponding to the access network information. When the terminal device needs to transmit data, the terminal device does not need to wait for the process of transmitting the context information of the terminal device, thereby facilitating reducing a delay.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Meng Li, Qiang Deng, Zhenglei Huang, Yanmei Yang

Patent number: 11159444Abstract: A packet processing device includes a first unit, a second unit, and a switching unit. The first unit counts the number of arrived packets in a first period that is from the time slot present after a priority section up to the end of the initial time slot in the subsequently-arriving priority section. When the counted number of arrived packets is positive, the first unit determines that forward mismatch has occurred in an observation cycle. The second unit counts the number of arrived packets in a second period which is from the time slot present immediately after the priority section in the first period of time up to the end of the initial time slot of burst sections in the subsequently-arriving priority section. When the counted number of arrived packets is “0”, the second unit determines that backward mismatch has occurred in the observation cycle.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventor: Kazuto Nishimura

Patent number: 11012976Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A device may receive repeated portions (e.g., modulation symbols) of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) within a subframe. Portions of a PBCH may be repeated during various symbol periods of a subframe, and symbol periods for repetition may be selected based at least in part on locations of reference signals, synchronization signals, or downlink transmissions. Symbol periods that include cell-specific reference signals (CRS) may be used to repeat portions of a PBCH. Modulation symbols of a PBCH that include both broadcast information and CRS may be repeated within a subframe during symbol periods of the subframe than include CRS. Repetitions of portions of the PBCH in the subsequent subframe may be similarly or differently mapped to available resources in the subsequent subframe. Devices may identify characteristics of the PBCH by using differences in phase between repeated portions of the PBCH.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Alberto Rico Alvarino, Wanshi Chen, Hao Xu
