  • Patent number: 12207138
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for tracking and dynamically allocating wireless capacity within a wireless telecommunications network. The system has a plurality of processor levels: a layer of baseband-level capacity processors that are deployed within each baseband processor; a layer of client-level capacity processors that are deployed within each wireless base station; a layer of server-level capacity processors, each of which orchestrate allocation of wireless capacity over a unique domain of wireless base stations; and a master level capacity processor. Wireless capacity is allocated in terms of active connections to wireless devices, and the active connections are quantized and allocated as logical connections, or connection tokens. The system dynamically allocates wireless capacity so that resources are devoted to venues and environments where demand is greatest at any given time.

  • Patent number: 12185160
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for reducing latency in a high-propagation-delay wireless communication system. A user equipment device (UE) may transmit to abase station (BS) a first buffer status report (BSR) indicating an amount of uplink data buffered by the UE for transmission to the BS, and may subsequently transmit to the BS a first BSR update message indicating that an additional amount of uplink data has been buffered by the UE subsequent to transmission of the first BSR. The first BSR update message may be transmitted prior to expiration of a timer authorizing transmission of a second BSR following the first BSR. The UE may receive from the BS an uplink grant allocating resources for transmission of at least a portion of the uplink data buffered by the UE. The uplink grant may have a size based on the first BSR and the first BSR update message.

  • Patent number: 12120572
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may detect radio link failure on a master cell group. Accordingly, the UE may determine a state of a secondary cell group (SCG). Additionally, the UE may initiate activation of the SCG based at least in part on the state of the SCG. For example, the activation of the SCG may be initiated based at least in part on the state being a deactivated state, a dormant state, or an enhanced dormant state. Accordingly, the UE may transmit master cell group (MCG) failure recovery information over the SCG and receive, on the SCG, MCG reconnection information. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Patent number: 12052623
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods performed by a target RAN controller for handling relocation of a UE connection from a source RAN controller during an ongoing wireless communication. Such methods include, when a distance between the UE and a border between source and target RAN controllers is below a threshold value, receiving from the source RAN controller an order to establish radio link(s) to be controlled by the target RAN controller for the ongoing wireless communication and establishing radio link(s) for the ongoing wireless communication accordingly. Such methods include, based on existence of certain conditions, receiving from the source RAN controller a request to initiate a procedure for relocating the UE connection from source to target RAN controller. Such methods include creating an RRC configuration to be used by the UE after the relocation to the target RAN controller and sending the created RRC configuration to the source RAN controller.
