  • Patent number: 12193086
    Abstract: A communication apparatus has a communication function for performing wireless communication using one of a first mode of performing first communication with a partner apparatus via another apparatus, a second mode of performing second communication with the partner apparatus not via another apparatus, and a third mode of concurrently performing the first communication and the second communication. When the third mode is the operation mode of the communication function, the communication apparatus controls the communication function so as to activate a function of the second communication after executing processing to establish a connection for the first communication. When the connection has not been established even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of connection processing for the first communication, the function for the second communication is activated even if the connection for the first communication has not been established.

  • Patent number: 12177780
    Abstract: The power requirements of user equipments (UEs) are expected to increase as their capabilities increase. Some power saving methods have previously been proposed, but are limited by the radio resource control (RRC) protocol and do not address the power consumption associated with having to transition between different RRC states. In some embodiments described herein, there are not different RRC states, but instead a single RRC state. Within that single RRC state, there are different modes of operation, e.g. a default low power operation mode and an enhanced power operation mode. In some embodiments, the UE switches from the default operation mode to the enhanced operation mode on an on-demand basis (e.g. based on the communication capability required by the UE), and then returns back to the default operation mode.

  • Patent number: 12101229
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches techniques for generating a high quantity of internet traffic flows, such as in the form of data packets, to stress test network components by using range variable field modifiers. The techniques generate a large scale of flows at a relatively fast speed by using a process that may involve a finite state machine feedback loop and a multiple range variable field modifier process. Start and end range pointers for range entries of data packet modifiers are stored in memory and used with pointer and counter values, which are varied and updated in a relatively fast feedback loop. Data packet modifiers may be selected based on the pointer and counter values and are used to modify or generate data packets.

  • Patent number: 12075355
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for wireless communication that can be used to establish a restricted target wake time (TWT) session on a wireless medium. In some implementations, an access point (AP) establishes a restricted TWT session for one or more wireless stations (STAs) associated with latency sensitive traffic, the restricted TWT session including restricted TWT service periods (SPs) during which the AP reserves access to the wireless medium for only the one or more STAs associated with the latency sensitive traffic. The AP transmits a clear-to-send (CTS) frame at a start of each restricted TWT SP, the CTS frame indicating to other STAs that the wireless medium is unavailable for a duration of the respective restricted TWT SP. The AP transmits latency sensitive data to or receives latency sensitive data from the one or more STAs during at least one of the restricted TWT SPs.
