  • Patent number: 12225519
    Abstract: Multi-link operations can provide higher network throughput and improved network flexibility compared to traditional techniques for wireless communication. Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of frame transmission that prevents constrained MLDs from transmitting and receiving frames on multiple links simultaneously using a novel and reliable group addressed frame transmission schedule for constrained MLDs. Group addressed frames are frames that are transmitted to several devices (e.g., broadcast) listening on a wireless link. It is important to carefully schedule group addressed frames for reception by MLDs to prevent IDC interference. According to some embodiments, group addressed frames are only transmitted when all MLDs listening on a wireless link are not transmitting data to prevent IDC interference.

  • Patent number: 12137371
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems (e.g., vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems), a source user equipment (UE) may multicast a data packet to surrounding UEs. In some cases, a receiving UE may fail to receive the transmission due to blocking, shadowing, or interference. The receiving UE may multicast a message requesting retransmission of the packet. Any surrounding UEs that successfully received the data packet from the source UE and the relay request message from the receiving UE may determine whether to relay the packet. Determining whether to relay the packet may be based on a reference signal received power (RSRP) threshold, available resources, a distance to the blocked UE, or some combination thereof. In some examples, the receiving UE may successfully receive the relayed packet from the relay UE even if a path between the receiving UE and the original source UE is blocked.
