  • Patent number: 11831358
    Abstract: Systems and methods for setting a carrier-sensing mechanism in a PLC node are disclosed. In a PLC standard, coexistence is achieved by having the nodes detect a common preamble and backing off by a Coexistence InterFrame Space (cEIFS) time period to help the node to avoid interfering with the other technologies. In one embodiment, a PHY primitive is sent from the PHY to the MAC know that there has been a preamble detection. A two-level indication may be used—one indication after receiving the preamble and other indication after decoding the entire frame. The MAC sets the carrier-sensing mechanism based on the preamble detection.

  • Patent number: 11825469
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for cancellation and/or replacement of PUSCHs. A user equipment device (UE) may configure a first PUSCH and a second PUSCH, where the first PUSCH may correspond to a configured grant and where the second PUSCH may correspond to a configured grant or scheduled by a PDCCH on a serving cell. The UE may determine that at least one transmission occasion associated with the first PUSCH overlaps in time with at least one transmission occasion associated with the second PUSCH. The UE may drop transmissions scheduled for the second PUSCH, e.g., based on determining that a priority of the first PUSCH is higher than a priority of the second PUSCH, e.g., starting with a first symbol of a repetition of the second PUSCH which overlaps in time with one or more repetitions of the first PUSCH.

  • Patent number: 11824696
    Abstract: Messages are transmitted in closely-spaced subcarriers in 5G and 6G, configured so that each subcarrier signal is orthogonal to the adjacent subcarrier signals. However, many effects can penetrate that orthogonality—distortion, interference, frequency variations, amplitude variations, crosstalk, etc.—collectively termed energy spill-over. To combat this problem, a receiver can determine the total energy spill-over into adjacent subcarriers by measuring a residual signal in a subcarrier with no transmission, adjacent to another subcarrier with a known transmission. The receiver can measure the amplitude, phase, temporal or spectral properties, and so forth of the residual signal. The receiver can then correct the message during signal processing, by calculating a function of the residual signal and subtracting it from each digitized subcarrier signal of a message.

  • Patent number: 11812398
    Abstract: A group of radio network nodes (14) performs automatic synchronization source selection using Radio-interface Based Synchronization, based on the exchange of clock-attribute information between respective nodes (14) via inter-node connections. Access to the clock-attribute information for other nodes (14) in the same domain or subdomain allows a given node (14) to select the best or most preferred synchronization source for use in synchronizing its own clock (44), based on a combined or joint evaluation of parameters or metrics that include the reception quality of OTA signals from respective ones of the candidate nodes (14) and the corresponding clock-attribute information. Further parameters or metrics may be evaluated in the selection, such as neighbor-relation considerations. The combined use of OTA synchronization signaling and clock-attribute information exchanges, e.g.

  • Patent number: 11811558
    Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) associated with a virtual machine (VM) in a cloud computing network is configured to be flexibly attached and detached from a parent NIC to thereby enable the virtual machine to simultaneously be attached to multiple different virtual networks (VNets) and/or subnets that are associated with the same or different subscriptions. The inventive NIC, referred to herein as a flexibly extensible NIC (eNIC), enables a service provider to inject compute instances into an existing VNet using a multi-homing configuration in which the data plane uses a dedicated network interface to connect the customer's VNet, while another dedicated network interface provides management plane connectivity to the service provider. Such multi-VNet homing advantageously provides data plane isolation for the customer's VNet to comply with applicable security policies without disrupting management traffic between the injected resources and the service provider.

  • Patent number: 11785619
    Abstract: A wireless device and a method therein for receiving positioning system information from a radio network node. The wireless device and the radio network node operate in a wireless communications network. The wireless device receives positioning system information broadcast scheduling information comprising information about positioning System Information Blocks that are comprised in a System Information message. Further, the wireless device receives an indication that a pSIB is segmented into pSIB segments. Based on the indication and on the pSI the wireless device determines whether or not the pSIB segments are scheduled via contiguous scheduling. When the pSIB segments are determined to be scheduled via contiguous scheduling, the wireless device monitors scheduled resources, retrieves the contiguously scheduled pSIB segments and decodes position system information of the retrieved pSIB segments.
