  • Patent number: 11751209
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may provide hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for multiple physical channels (e.g., multiple physical downlink shared channels (PDSCH)) scheduled via cross component carrier scheduling. A base station may transmit downlink control information (DCI) messages via physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), to the UE to schedule the multiple PDSCH over multiple component carriers. The UE may monitor for the multiple PDSCH over the multiple component carriers, respectively. The UE may identify resource allocations to use for HARQ feedback transmissions associated with the multiple PDSCH, based on the DCI messages received. The DCI may include a number of control fields that the UE may use to determine resource allocations to use for the HARQ feedback transmissions.

  • Patent number: 11736403
    Abstract: An improved autonegotiation approach includes determining that a negotiated rate between a first network device and a second network device exceeds data transfer capacity over a network path downstream of the second network device. In response, a configuration message is generated and transmitted to the first network device. When received by the first network device, the configuration message causes the first network device to limit data transfer between the first network device and the second network device to no more than the downstream data transfer capacity.
