Patent number: 12745279Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) usually have associated categories based on characteristics of the UAVs and characteristics of flights for the UAVs. These categories are provided to a UAV service supplier (USS) when the UAV registers with the USS and when the UAV submits flight plans to the USS for approval. Such categories are not provided to a wireless communication network that the UAV will use during flight. However, the wireless communication network cannot effectively prioritize service to some UAVs over other UAVs without these categories. Techniques and apparatuses described herein provide categories associated with UAVs to a mobile network that will provide service to the UAVs during flight. The categories may allow the mobile network to prioritize traffic to render operable UAVs that require low-latency communications, such as UAVs using autonomous navigation software, as well as reduce risk to UAVs engaged in high-risk or high-priority missions.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2021Date of Patent: September 22, 2026Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: Stefano Faccin

Patent number: 12739833Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may select a beam from a set of beams and transmit an indication of the selected beam in a media access control (MAC) control element to establish a communication link with a base station. In some cases, the UE may select the beam and indicate the selection based on identifying a beam failure and/or determining to perform a random access procedure. When transmitting the indication of the selected beam, the UE may obtain an uplink resource for the transmission based on an availability of the uplink resource. For example, if the uplink resource is available, the UE may transmit the indication of the selected beam multiplexed with an uplink transmission. Alternatively, if the uplink resource is unavailable, the UE may request uplink resources for transmitting the indication of the selected beam.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: September 15, 2026Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Linhai He, Yan Zhou, Tao Luo, Ruiming Zheng, Gavin Bernard Horn
