  • Patent number: 11722958
    Abstract: A Wi-Fi chip is configured to operate in a power saving Wi-Fi mode in which the Wi-Fi chip repeatedly checks, at a first time interval, periodic DTIM beacons transmitted at a second time interval by a wireless access point of a Wi-Fi network, wherein the first time interval is longer than the second time interval. Upon receiving a standby message, the Wi-Fi chip, during a predefined time duration, operates in a standby mode in which the Wi-Fi chip checks at a third time interval periodic DTIM beacons transmitted by the wireless access point, wherein the third time interval is shorter than the first time interval.

  • Patent number: 11671202
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may adaptively switch between hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) monitoring modes to support power savings. In a first HARQ skipping mode, the UE may transmit an uplink message corresponding to a HARQ identifier and may receive a positive acknowledgment (ACK) message in a HARQ monitoring occasion associated with the HARQ identifier. Upon receiving the ACK message, the UE refrains from monitoring a subsequent HARQ monitoring occasion associated with the HARQ identifier while in the first HARQ skipping mode (e.g., an aggressive HARQ skipping mode). The UE may periodically enter a periodic evaluation mode from the first HARQ skipping mode, in which the UE monitors a subsequent HARQ monitoring occasion after receiving an ACK message to check for false ACK messages. If a false ACK message is detected, the UE enters a first HARQ skipping prohibited mode.

  • Patent number: 11647560
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The examples described herein provide a procedure at a user equipment (UE) for determining whether to transmit radio resource control (RRC) configured uplink signals to a base station based on detected slot format indications (SFIs) and/or undetected SFIs in multiple control channels. In particular, a UE may identify multiple control channels configured to include SFIs from a base station, and, as described herein, the UE may determine whether to transmit RRC configured uplink signals in a set of symbols based on a configuration of the set of symbols (e.g., uplink, downlink, or flexible) determined based on detected SFIs and/or undetected SFIs in the multiple control channels. The UE may be able to determine whether to transmit RRC configured uplink signals in a set of symbols based on any combination of detected SFIs and undetected SFIs.

  • Patent number: 11641610
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus, method, and computer-readable medium implement a dynamic channel selection function at an access point device so as to establish a backhaul connection between the access point device and an extender access point device. Once initiated either by the access point device or an application, the dynamic channel selection function iterates or loops through channels based on one or more factors to select a channel for establishment of the backhaul connection. The dynamic channel selection function provides ease of installation of configuration of devices on a network without requiring relocation of the device to establish the backhaul connection.

  • Patent number: 11632700
    Abstract: In order to perform a RACH-less handover from a source base station to a target base station, a UE device generates a request that the target base station is to send a Media Access Control (MAC) message to the UE device. The request can be sent with a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection Reconfiguration Complete message. Alternatively, an RRC message sent from a UE device functions as an implicit request that the target base station is to send a MAC message to the UE device. The request can also be configured to specify a particular MAC Control Element that the target base station should send. The target base station transmits the requested MAC message, along with TA information, if required. The UE device determines when the handover has been completed, based at least partially on when the requested MAC message is received from the target base station.
