  • Patent number: 12659010
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) performs radio communication with a base station that manages a cell including N (N?2) transmission/reception points. The UE comprises: a communicator configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) message from the base station, the RRC message including information for configuring N beam failure detection resource sets; and a controller configured to individually detect beam failure for each of the N beam failure detection resource sets. The controller is configured to trigger beam failure recovery (BFR) for one beam failure detection resource set with which the beam failure has been detected. The communicator is configured to cancel all the triggered BFRs for the one beam failure detection resource set in a case where a MAC PDU is transmitted, the MAC PDU including a BFR MAC CE including information regarding the detected beam failure.

  • Patent number: 12627332
    Abstract: A transceiver transmits data via a first cable among a plurality of cables in a wired communication network, and selectively operates in one of (i) an active mode for transmitting data to a link partner via the first cable and (ii) a low power mode during which the transceiver quiets transmissions to conserve power. A crosstalk detector determines that transmission of data in the first cable is causing crosstalk in one or more second cables. A controller, in response to the crosstalk detector determining that transmission of the data in the first cable is causing crosstalk in one or more second cables, controls the transceiver to operate in the low power mode during a plurality of first time periods to reduce crosstalk in the one or more second cables during the plurality of first time periods.

  • Patent number: 12568346
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a base station may transmit system information indicating multiple multicast-broadcast network areas, and may further provide configuration information for each multicast-broadcast network area indicating a location of multicast scheduling information (MSI). The MSI may include an indication of frequency resources on which to receive broadcast or multicast services. The MSI may indicate specific services for an multicast-broadcast network area that are provided via the different frequency resources (for example, different cells, carriers, channels, among other examples). In some examples, the base station may schedule broadcast or multicast services across frequency resources via semi-persistent scheduling. The MSI may indicate a redundancy version configuration (for example, time and frequency patterns for combined redundancy version broadcast transmissions).
