  • Patent number: 11490396
    Abstract: A communication apparatus that performs wireless communication obtains information of a channel with a possibility of interference in wireless communication that is output based on position information of the communication apparatus, position information of a source of a radio wave which has a possibility of interference in the wireless communication, and time information, and selects a channel to be used in the wireless communication. Whether a channel corresponding to the obtained channel information is the currently selected channel is determined, and the currently selected channel is changed to a channel other than the channel corresponding to the obtained channel information if the channel corresponding to the obtained channel information is the same channel as the currently selected channel. If communication is being performed, it is determined after the communication whether the channel corresponding to the obtained channel information is the same channel as the currently selected channel.

  • Patent number: 11483684
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for recovering a communication session from a dedicated bearer failure are disclosed. For example, a P-CSCF node can determine that a dedicated bearer associated with a communication session has failed, and, in response, send a SIP message to a UE associated with the communication session, the SIP message causing the UE to refrain from sending SIP requests using a SIP INVITE method. The process may further include identifying a first network node associated with an identifier of the UE, the first network node comprising one of a PGW or a SMF, and sending an instruction to the first network node to dissociate the dedicated bearer from the communication session. This causes a new attach procedure to be performed by the UE to recover the session without session failure.

  • Patent number: 11463902
    Abstract: Wireless communication systems and methods related to quality of service mapping, are provided. A first user equipment determines a sidelink radio bearer identifier (SLRB ID) for a quality of service (QoS) flow from a plurality of rules. The rules identify different characteristics of the QoS flow. The SLRB ID is inserted into a header of a packet in the QoS flow. The QoS flow is mapped to a radio bearer that is mapped to an L2 link with other radio bearers that are mapped to other QoS flows. The L2 link transmits the radio bearers to a second UE as part of a broadcast, groupcast or unicast sidelink communication. Based on the SLRB ID, the second UE identifies requirements of the QoS flow.
