  • Patent number: 12317172
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a method for reconfiguring a beacon by an access point (AP) to minimize or avoid network outages experienced by client devices connected to the AP. The AP transmits a beacon comprising a basic service set identifier (BSSID) field and a Multiple BSSID (MBSSID) element. The MBSSID element corresponds to an MBSSID set comprising a transmitted BSSID associated with a transmitted virtual access point (VAP) and a non-transmitted BSSID associated with a non-transmitted VAP, where the BSSID field in the beacon is set to the transmitted BSSID. Further, the AP reconfigures the beacon to generate a reconfigured beacon upon determining that the transmitted VAP is non-functional. In particular, the BSSID field in the reconfigured beacon is set to the non-transmitted BSSID of the MBSSID set. Moreover, the AP transmits the reconfigured beacon to the client device.

  • Patent number: 12284709
    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to on-demand ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC) are provided. In one embodiment, a base station (BS) receives, from a user equipment (UE) in a first cell frequency, a request for a protocol data unit (PDU) session over a network slice. The BS receives, from a core network entity, a resource configuration request for the PDU session over the network slice. The BS transmits, to the core network entity, a resource configuration response indicating a cause for rejecting the resource configuration request. In one embodiment, a UE transmits, in a first cell frequency of a network, a network registration request message requesting a network slice of the network that is not provided by the first cell frequency. The UE receives a network registration response message indicating the network slice is allowed based on a second cell frequency of the network providing the network slice requested.

  • Patent number: 12279230
    Abstract: A method of handling Paging Early Indication with Paging Subgrouping (PEIPS) assistance information when a UE is registered to the same or different PLMN/SNPN networks is proposed. The PEIPS assistance information includes PEIPS parameters such as a PEIPS subgroup ID that is used by the UE for monitoring paging with PEIPS for power saving. If the UE registers to the same PLMN/SNPN via 3GPP access and non-3GPP access, then the UE handles the PEIPS parameters as one common parameters. If the UE registers to different PLMN/SNPN via 3GPP access and non-3GPP access, then the UE handles the PEIPS parameters as two independent parameters.
