  • Patent number: 11012895
    Abstract: Disclosed are a session management method and apparatus, wherein same are applied to a mobile network. The method comprises: determining a registration mode of a terminal sending a session establishment request or an interoperation capability supported by a network side device; and when the registration mode is a single-registration mode or when the network side device supports the interoperation capability, determining the completion of the mapping of QoS parameters between different systems when a session connection is created for the terminal. The present invention solves the technical problems in the prior art that an SMF cannot determine whether QoS mapping needs to be performed when a terminal is establishing a session connection in a mobile network and that an unnecessary signalling process will be caused for a terminal with a dual-registration mode if the SMF always performs QoS mapping.

  • Patent number: 11005512
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein that improve the signal reception and transmission capabilities of an access point by coupling an active antenna assembly to the access point. An active antenna assembly includes an antenna and at least one active component, such as a low-noise amplifier or a power amplifier. The active component can be connected to an antenna circuit board rather than the main circuit board of the access point, which is typically retained within an access point housing. By positioning the active component near the antenna, the active antenna assembly prevents degradation of signals received by the antenna. One or more coaxial cables can be used to connect the active component of the active antenna assembly to the main circuit board of the access point.

    Abstract: Technology for a UE is disclosed. The UE can identify that a resource for a PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information and/or a resource for a PUCCH associated with a SR overlap in time with two resources for respective PUCCH transmissions with two CSI reports. The UE can select a resource for a PUCCH transmission with a CSI report having a higher priority from the two resources for respective PUCCH transmissions with the two CSI reports. The UE can multiplex the HARQ-ACK information and/or the SR in the selected resource for the PUCCH transmission with the CSI report having the higher priority. The UE can encode the multiplexed HARQ-ACK information and the SR and the CSI report for transmission on the selected resource for the PUCCH transmission to a NR base station.
