  • Patent number: 12245132
    Abstract: This application provides example path switching methods, example communication apparatuses, and example communication systems. One example method includes obtaining, by a session management network element, a context of a first transport layer connection, where the first transport layer connection is between a source transport layer proxy network element and a terminal device. In response to determining that a protocol data unit (PDU) session anchor for the terminal device needs to be changed, the session management network element can send the context of the first transport layer connection to a target transport layer proxy network element, where the context is used to establish a third transport layer connection between the target transport layer proxy network element and the terminal device.

  • Patent number: 12232045
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a communication apparatus, a communication method, and a program that enable improvement in performance of short-range wireless communication. The communication apparatus includes: a reception circuit that receives a signal transmitted by load-modulating in a card, which is a partner in short-range wireless communication, via an antenna; and a transmission power control unit that controls transmission power transmitted to the card on the basis of a reception signal modulation degree which is a modulation degree of the signal received by the reception circuit. Then, the transmission power control unit performs control so as to reduce the transmission power in a case where the reception signal modulation degree is less than or equal to a certain threshold value. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a communication apparatus that performs short-range wireless communication.

  • Patent number: 12224957
    Abstract: Disclosed are a wireless transmitter and a reference signal transmission method that improve channel estimation accuracy. In a terminal, which transmits a reference signal using n (n is a non-negative integer 2 or greater) band blocks (which correspond to clusters here), which are disposed with spaces therebetween in a frequency direction, a reference signal controller switches the reference signal formation method of a reference signal generator between a first formation method and a second formation method based on the number (n) of band blocks. In addition, a threshold value setting unit adjusts a switching threshold value based on the frequency spacing between band blocks. Thus, the reference signal formation method can be selected with good accuracy and, as a result, channel estimation accuracy is further improved.
