  • Patent number: 11910373
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a UE (e.g., an initiator UE) transmits sidelink discovery messages for beam training on a bandwidth associated with DMRS. One or more UEs (e.g., candidate responder UEs) select a beam to pair with a beam associated with one of the sidelink discovery messages, and transmit a sidelink discovery message on the selected beam. In another aspect, a UE (e.g., initiator UE) transmits a sidelink discovery message, which is forwarded to a UE, which may be a lead UE of a sidelink UE group. The lead UE adds the initiator UE to the sidelink UE group, and responds with a sidelink discovery response message and a group indication that at least indicates that the initiator UE now belongs to the sidelink UE group.

  • Patent number: 11895543
    Abstract: A method and system to provide Mobility Robustness Optimization (MRO) in a NR network are described. The MRO parameters, use case, management services and information definition and procedures are described. A distributed self-organized network (D-SON) management function requests a producer of provisioning management service (MnS) to set targets, handover parameter ranges, and control information for an MRO function and then enables the MRO function for a non-enabled NR cell. The MRO function receives and analyses information from UEs to determine actions to optimize MRO performance. The D-SON management function collects and analyses MRO related performance measurements to evaluate the MRO performance, and updates the targets, handover parameter ranges, and/or control information when the MRO performance does not meet the targets.

  • Patent number: 11855914
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a group of APs that uses a shared radar cache to select a new channel after vacating a current channel when performing dynamic frequency selection (DFS). The group of APs can set aside memory to store status information about the DFS channels in the frequency band. For example, when one AP detects a radar event (and has to vacate a DFS channel), the AP updates an entry for that channel in the shared radar cache. The APs can also query the cache to determine a new channel after vacating its current channel. That is, the shared radar cache may store the most recent radar events occurring in a channel. In this manner, the APs can select a new channel that has little or no recent radar events, which reduces the likelihood the AP will have to vacate the new channel.

  • Patent number: 11777844
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distributing link state information are provided. Network nodes propagate link state information via a control plane flooding operation. A first network node can initiate this propagation in response to a local link state change. In addition, some network nodes can via data plane messaging to transmit link state information to a remote node of the network. The remote node responds to the message by initiating a control plane flooding operation at that location. The remote node can be selected based on a variety of criteria, such as network traffic conditions, location, or network topology. Multiple remote nodes can be prompted in this manner to initiate flooding operations.

  • Patent number: 11765708
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for GIS-NR beamforming for mmWave. For example, certain embodiments may provide for beam realignment, through which a serving network node may be able to re-position its beam towards a UE without the UE explicitly measuring and signalling to the network node the need for realignment. Instead of performing the traditional UE-based exhaustive beam search, the serving network node may proactively switch the beam in an attempt to track the UE movements. The serving network node may do this by corroborating information from two types of sources: 1) a set of neighbor mobile or fixed network nodes and 2) a geographic information system (GIS).

  • Patent number: 11751219
    Abstract: A wireless access node serves wireless User Equipment (UEs) and wireless Integrated Access and Backhaul Mobile Terminations (IAB MTs). A radio exchanges access communications with the UEs over a frequency channel. The radio receives an IAB request from one of the IAB MTs, and in response, a controller allocates the frequency channel into a UE subchannel and an MT subchannel. The radio now exchanges access communications with the UEs over the UE subchannel and exchanges backhaul communications with the wireless IAB MT over the MT subchannel. The controller reallocates the frequency channel when an IAB MT is added to give the new IAB MT its own MT subchannel. The controller reallocates the frequency channel when an IAB MT is removed to increase the size of the UE subchannel.

The method includes receiving by a Base-Station (BS) a Buffer Status Report (BSR) index value from a User Equipment (UE) along with buffer size corresponding to an Uplink (UL) data transmission request. Upon determining the buffer size corresponding to the received BSR index value to be greater than a predefined threshold value, resources to the UE is allocated corresponding to a maximum buffer size of (BSR index-n). Upon receiving UL data from the UE based on the allocated resources, resources to the UE are allocated subsequently using a predefined allocation mechanism until one of, detection of padding bits in the received UL data and on detecting maximum allocation of predefined number of allocation.
