  • Patent number: 11729110
    Abstract: Implementing network constraint exceptions on a per device basis is disclosed. A network manager determines that a subscriber device associated with a subscriber network is to be granted an exception to a network constraint of the subscriber network. An aggregation device that is coupled to a set of subscriber networks including the subscriber network is sent aggregation device instructions to grant the exception to packets associated with the subscriber device that flow through the aggregation device. A network gateway device that serves as a network gateway for the subscriber network is sent gateway device instructions to associate packets associated with the subscriber device with information for identifying the packets as being associated with the subscriber device.

  • Patent number: 11700616
    Abstract: A UE receives DCI in a PDCCH, the DCI triggers reception of AP CSI-RS, and the PDCCH has a first numerology and the AP CSI-RS has a second numerology. The UE determines, when a CORESET is configured on an active BWP of a serving cell for receiving the AP CSI-RS and when the first numerology is the same as the second numerology, a default AP CSI-RS beam for receiving the AP CSI-RS based on a beam used for receiving the CORESET with a lowest ID in a latest monitored slot of the active BWP of the serving cell. The UE determines, otherwise when the first numerology is the same as the second numerology, the default AP CSI-RS beam for receiving the AP CSI-RS based on a QCL assumption of a PDSCH TCI state with a lowest ID on the active BWP of the serving cell for receiving the AP CSI-RS.

  • Patent number: 11671877
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may determine to apply tone reservation to a downlink transmission from the base station to a user equipment (UE), and may select to rate match data of the downlink transmission around selected resource elements for the tone reservation instead of puncturing the data of the downlink transmission. The base station may transmit, to the UE, a message indicating that tone reservation is applied to the downlink transmission via rate matching, and transmit the downlink transmission including the data rate matched around the selected resource elements used for tone reservation. The UE may identify the selected resource elements used for tone reservation based on an estimation of a channel between the UE and the base station, and decode the data of the downlink transmission via rate matching around the selected resource elements used for tone reservation.
