  • Patent number: 12156241
    Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow a UE to provide a CSI report including an expiration time to a base station to reduce the risk of improper scheduling decisions at the base station based on outdated CSI reports. The UE obtains a channel measurement signal from the base station. The UE identifies CSI based on the channel measurement signal and provides a CSI report to the base station including the CSI. The CSI report further includes an expiration time for the CSI report. The base station obtains the CSI report from the UE including the expiration time for the CSI report, and the base station processes downlink data for transmission based on the expiration time in the CSI report.

  • Patent number: 12155472
    Abstract: An apparatus for a wireless communication system is connected to at least one user device (UE) via a sidelink for a sidelink communication. For a unicast transmission, the apparatus transmits a sidelink frame having a certain frame duration. A first part of the sidelink frame includes a control signaling. The control signaling indicates to the UE whether a feedback is to be returned to the apparatus. The feedback indicates a successful reception of data at the UE or a sidelink channel condition. If a feedback is desired, the apparatus transmits in the first part of the frame, using the control signaling, an indication that the feedback is to be provided by the UE such that a duration of the control signaling is shorter, by a remaining duration, than the frame duration, and receives from the UE, during the remaining duration, the feedback.

  • Patent number: 12126701
    Abstract: A method of compensating for potential interruptions in a wireless spatially selective connection over which data at a first compression level is transmitted from a host device to a client device involves determining (S32) that an interruption to the wireless spatially selective connection over which data is being transmitted at a first compression level to a client device is starting or is due to start, compressing (S3Y3) the data at a second compression level that is higher than the first compression level, and forwarding (S34) the data compressed at the second compression level to a transmitting component for wireless spatially non-selective broadcast while the interruption to the spatially selective connection occurs. Determining that the interruption is due to start may involve analysing a historical record of previous interruptions to determine a periodicity of the previous interruptions or receiving information from the transmitting component that an interruption is expected to occur.
