  • Patent number: 11706744
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first transceiver node of a set of transceiver nodes may transmit a control message (e.g., downlink control information (DCI)) to a user equipment (UE). Upon receiving the control message, the UE may switch from a first bandwidth part (BWP) configuration for the first transceiver node to a second BWP configuration for the first transceiver node. Additionally, the UE may switch from BWP configurations for other transceiver nodes of the set of transceiver nodes. Upon switching from the first BWP configuration, the UE may start a timer and may switch from the second BWP configuration to a third BWP configuration upon expiration of the timer. The timer may be restarted each time the UE receives a communication from any of the set of transceiver nodes, a subset of the set of transceiver nodes, or from the first transceiver node.

  • Patent number: 11652741
    Abstract: The present invention relates to IoT devices existing in a deployed ecosystem. The various computers in the deployed ecosystem are able to respond to requests from a device directly associated with it in a particular hierarchy, or it may seek a response to the request from a high order logic/data source (parent). The logic/data source parent may then repeat the understanding process to either provide the necessary response to the logic/data source child who then replies to the device or it will again ask a parent logic/data sources for the appropriate response. This architecture allows for a single device to make one request to a single known source and potentially get a response back from the entire ecosystem of distributed servers.

  • Patent number: 11647510
    Abstract: A method communicating data between a base station and a terminal device in a wireless telecommunications system, for example an LTE-based system. The wireless communication system uses plural frequency sub-carriers spanning a system frequency band. Physical-layer control information for the terminal device is transmitted from the base station using sub-carriers selected from across the system frequency band, for example to provide frequency diversity. However, higher-layer data for the terminal device is transmitted using only sub-carriers selected from within a restricted frequency band which is smaller than and within the system frequency band. The terminal device is aware of the restricted frequency band, and as such need only buffer and process data within this restricted frequency band during periods where higher-layer data is being transmitted. The terminal device buffers and processes the full system frequency band during periods when physical-layer control information is being transmitted.
