  • Patent number: 10178012
    Abstract: System and method embodiments for generating and transmitting a sounding frame in wireless network. In an embodiment, a method for uplink multi-user feedback polling in a wireless network includes generating, by an access point (AP) in the wireless network, a sounding frame including a physical layer (PHY) trigger and a list of stations (STAs) to provide feedback, the PHY trigger indicating that the STAs in the list of STAs are to perform channel estimation; transmitting, by the AP, the sounding frame to one or more STAs; and receiving, by the AP, one or more uplink multi-user feedback frames from the STAs.

  • Patent number: 10171544
    Abstract: When a packet in which a “Static part” is changed is detected in a session established in a bearer, it is possible to prevent the packet from being discarded. A radio base station (eNB) according to the present invention includes a communication control unit (13) configured to control communication via a session (an RTP session or an RTCP session) with a mobile station (UE). The communication control unit (13) is configured such that, when a change in a “Static part” in a header of a received packet is detected, even if adding a new session to transmit the packet makes the number of sessions established in a bearer (#1) exceed a capability of the radio base station (eNB) or the mobile station (UE), the communication control unit (13) transmits the packet via the new session.

  • Patent number: 10165616
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method in a wireless device of reconfiguring radio resources comprises: receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message; obtaining a maximum retransmission threshold value and an indication of a backup reconfiguration time; sending a control information message; determining the wireless device has not received a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment (ACK) in response to the control information message; determining a number of control information message transmissions is less than the maximum retransmission threshold value; sending another control information message; determining the wireless device has not received a HARQ ACK in response to the control information message; and performing radio resource reconfiguration at the backup reconfiguration time.

  • Patent number: 10069701
    Abstract: Communication apparatus includes multiple ports configured to serve as ingress ports and egress ports for connection to a packet data network. A single memory array is coupled to the ports and configured to contain both a respective headroom allocation for each ingress port and a shared buffer holding data packets for transmission in multiple queues via the egress ports. Control logic is configured to adjustably allocate to each ingress port a respective volume of memory within the single memory array to serve as the respective headroom allocation, and to queue the data packets in the multiple queues in the single memory array for transmission through the egress ports.
