  • Patent number: 11652672
    Abstract: A method and system to determine an adjusted guard interval duration associated with a wireless signal transmitted via a wireless communication link between a first network device and a second network device in a wireless network. The second network device receives a first wireless signal including a first duration of a guard interval from the first network device at a first time. The second network device determines, in view of the set of pilot symbols, a channel impulse response. A channel parameter value is determined based on the channel impulse response. An adjusted guard interval duration corresponding to the channel parameter value is established and used to estimate a second physical rate of the link. The second network device provides a communication identifying the adjusted guard interval duration to the first network device in response to determining the second physical rate is greater than the first physical rate.

  • Patent number: 11635482
    Abstract: An interference detection system in a network identifies a first wireless station that has experienced radio frequency (RF) interference from an unknown source and identifies one or more second wireless stations that have experienced similar interference. A plurality of estimated interference source locations are scored based on a comparison of estimated interference to observed interference at the one or more second wireless stations. A predicted interference source location is identified based on the scored plurality of estimated interference source locations. It is determined whether the unknown interference source is a persistent interference source over a selected time period, wherein the predicted interference source location is identified for each interval in the selected time period.

  • Patent number: 11611923
    Abstract: A cable communications network provides an alternative communications path between a user equipment device and a data network to a cellular path for a communications session with a desired level of Quality of Service. A cable modem termination system, coupled to a wireless core network, e.g., a 5G core network, interacts with the wireless core network to attempt to establish a PDU session for a UE with a desired QoS level. The core sends a QoS service request message to the CMTS including a requested level of QoS, an IP address and port number for the session. The CMTS and cable modem, corresponding to the UE, negotiate and decide if the request desired QoS level can be supported over the cable between the CMTS and the cable mode for the session.

The determination of the time gap may include consideration of a timing advance value. A determination may be made as to whether a time threshold is shorter than the determined time gap. If the determined time gap is not shorter than the time threshold, the WTRU may transmit the CSI report. If the determined time gap is shorter than the threshold, the WTRU may not transmit the CSI report.
