  • Patent number: 12120530
    Abstract: A communication system is described. The communication system includes 5g base stations (gNodeB) which are communicatively coupled to a user equipment (UE) by a multiple radio access technology (multi-RAT) dual connectivity. A first of the gNodeBs is a master gNodeB which relays control signaling from a 5G network core to a secondary gNodeB. To avoid spectral interference of the control signals between the master gNodeB and the secondary gNodeB, the control signals are transmitted according to a tactical waveform protocol selected from the Department of Defense (DoD) Communication Waveform Inventory (2020), such as a common data link (CDL) protocol.

  • Patent number: 12108472
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for enabling dual connectivity with secondary cell-user equipment. In some aspects, a base station (121) serving as a primary cell forms a base station-user equipment dual connectivity (BUDC) group (410) by configuring a user equipment (UE, 111) as a secondary cell-user equipment (SC-UE, 420) to provide a secondary cell. The base station (121) or SC-UE (420) can then add other UEs (112, 113, 114) to the BUDC group (410) thereby enabling dual connectivity for the UEs through the primary cell or secondary cell provided by the SC-UE (420). In some cases, the SC-UE (420) schedules resources of an air interface (302) by which the other UEs to communicate with the SC-UE (420). By so doing, the SC-UE (420) can communicate data with the other UEs (112, 113, 114) of the BUDC group (410) without communicating through a base station (121, 122), which decreases latency of communications between the UEs (111-114) of the BUDC group (410).

  • Patent number: 12069007
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, devices and methods for improving the performance and range of wireless communication systems. In various embodiments, a wireless and wireline architecture is implemented to allow a channel to more efficiently span physical barriers within the channel. The wireline portion of the channel may leverage pre-existing copper deployed within a building by interfacing copper with north and south transceiver nodes that allow the signal to propagate through a physical structure on the wire itself resulting in significantly less signal degradation compared to the signal having to traverse the physical structure wirelessly.
