  • Patent number: 11502991
    Abstract: A more efficient method of data collecting using multicast instead of individual slave-by-slave requests for data defines a multicast address through a master station. Slave stations are divided into feature groups according to their feature value and a mapping relationship table between the multicast addresses and the feature groups is established. Data request frames from the master station to the slave stations include a destination address which is parsed by all the slave stations, and if the destination address is the same as the multicast address in the mapping relationship table, the slave stations in the feature group associated with the destination address transmit data in response to the master station, the data request being discarded by other slave stations which are not associated.

  • Patent number: 11489559
    Abstract: Described are devices, systems and methods for scheduling multi-user (MU) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmissions in a fixed wireless access (FWA) system. One method for scheduling a large number of user devices in a wireless communication system includes a preselection process to pare down the number of user devices to be simultaneously scheduled, and then scheduling that subset of users. In an example, and assuming each user device communicates over a corresponding wireless channel, the preselection process includes determining a number of sets based on a first characteristic of the wireless channels, where each set includes at least one user device, and then determining a subset of user devices by selecting at most one user device from each of the sets. The scheduling of the selected subset of users is based on a scheduling algorithm and a second characteristic of the wireless channels.

  • Patent number: 11476998
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently reporting channel state feedback for a set of subbands. As an example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a set of reference signals on the set of subbands and determine a respective channel quality indicator (CQI) index for each of the set of subbands based on the reference signals. The UE may then transmit indications of CQI indices for different subbands of the set using variable length indications, such as indications that include different numbers of bits. Since, in some examples, a small length or number of bits may be allocated for reporting CQI indices with a high probability of being reported, overhead in a wireless communications system may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11477735
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods to increase battery life of a user equipment (UE) by reducing the amount of time a UE spends in active time listening for paging messages following mobile originate (MO) or mobile terminated (MT) data transfers. A network node may receive, from a UE, a message including an identifier of the UE and a request to set the duration of an active time timer to zero. The network node may determine whether any MT traffic is available for the UE, and send a message to the UE including the duration of the active time timer or some other indicator to indicate to the UE whether or not MT data is awaiting transmission.

  • Patent number: 11375048
    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.

  • Patent number: 11343037
    Abstract: A base station may transmit a quasi-collocation (QCL) relationship indication to a user equipment (UE) that indicates different QCL groups (e.g., QCL relationships corresponding to different port groups). The QCL relationship indication may include a tuple of transmission configuration indication (TCI)-states, TCI-states configured with TCI-state-sets, or multiple TCI-states indicated via an extended media access control (MAC) control element (CE). The QCL relationship indication may indicate a QCL relationship between one or more port groups of a first reference signal set and a plurality of port groups associated with a target reference signal. For example, the QCL relationship indication may indicate two QCL groups, where each QCL group includes a QCL relationship between a reference signal resource and a port group associated with a target reference signal. Using QCL group information, the UE may perform channel estimation for demodulating target reference signals, using the QCL antenna port group.
