  • Patent number: 10779249
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method is implemented by a first Radio Network Controller (RNC). The first RNC determines a communication link delay of a base station supported by the first RNC. Subsequent to the determining, a request is received from a different, second RNC to add a call leg that includes the base station as a call leg for a call supported by the second RNC. Based on the request, the first RNC transmits a response to the second RNC that indicates the determined communication link delay. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the second RNC uses the response to perform transport channel synchronization.

  • Patent number: 10673663
    Abstract: A physiological information collecting system and a transceiver device thereof are configured to collect physiological information from animal bodies. The transceiver device includes a front-end circuit, a follower circuit, a quadrature delay line and an output circuit. The front-end circuit separates a discontinuous signal into an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal. The follower circuit outputs a control voltage and rotates the in-phase signal by a predetermined phase angle to output a follower signal. The quadrature delay line rotates the quadrature signal by a corresponding phase angle according to the control voltage. The output circuit synthesizes the follower signal and the quadrature signal and outputs a data signal by demodulating the discontinuous signal.

  • Patent number: 10660033
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a UE. A user equipment (UE) may perform an initial access procedure to establish a connection with a serving cell. The UE may then arrange a regular transmission schedule with the serving cell including a discontinuous transmission (DTX) cycle and an acknowledgement schedule. The UE may enter a low power mode and refrain from any transmission during the a sleep interval of the DTX cycle. The UE may then wake up and transmit a message to the serving cell after the sleep interval without performing another access procedure. The UE may perform another access procedure to transmit at times not covered by the regular transmission schedule. For example, if an acknowledgement (ACK) for the message isn't received, the UE may perform another access procedure for retransmission.
