  • Patent number: 11032783
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A per-frequency indication providing deployment options for communication with a core network may be used for enhanced cell selection by a user equipment (UE). For example, system information transmitted by a base station may provide information elements that indicate, per radio frequency (or per radio frequency (RF) spectrum band)), deployment options associated with nearby cells. In such cases, the UE may determine whether to access the radio frequencies or RF bands of these cells based on the capabilities of the UE. In some cases, the UE may further determine whether the nearby cells are available based on the availability of a service through those cells. Accordingly, the UE may select one of the radio frequencies or bands corresponding to the cell having a network connectivity configuration that supports the UE's capabilities.

  • Patent number: 11025444
    Abstract: A computer network efficiently provides a multicast network flow to a multicast recipient across a multihomed network element. The multihomed network element includes network devices that receive multicast data from a source of a multicast network flow. Each particular network device that received the multicast data publishes a notification indicating that the multicast network flow is available from the particular network device. The computer network receives a subscription to the multicast network flow from a multicast recipient, and determines whether to bridge the multicast data across the multihomed network element based on a multicast configuration of the computer network. The multihomed network element provides the multicast data to the multicast recipient from at least one of the particular network devices that received the multicast data from the source of the multicast network flow.

  • Patent number: 10992433
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit downlink control information (DCI) to a user equipment (UE) in a search space of a shortened transmission time interval (sTTI) using a particular aggregation level. The aggregation level may correspond to the number of control channel elements (CCEs) used to transmit the DCI in the search space. In some cases, various aggregation levels may be supported for transmitting DCI to the UE, and the aggregation levels may be nested such that the CCEs of a lower aggregation level may be included in the CCEs of a higher aggregation level. In such cases, in order to allow a UE to correctly identify the DCI transmitted using a particular aggregation level, the base station may map the modulation symbols of the DCI to resource element groups (REGs) differently for different aggregation levels.
