  • Patent number: 11477732
    Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an approach for managing Target Wake Time (TWT) clients in a congested environment. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a TWT client transmits, to an AP, a request to negotiate a schedule for a TWT session. The request comprises a first set of TWT parameters requested by the TWT client. The AP determines, based on respective sets of TWT parameters of existing TWT sessions and the first set of TWT parameters, a second set of TWT parameters for the TWT client to minimize overlap between the TWT session and the existing TWT sessions. The AP transmits a response comprising the second set of TWT parameters to the TWT client. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an effective way for assigning air resources to multiple TWT clients in a congested environment, thereby reducing collisions among TWT sessions.

  • Patent number: 11452102
    Abstract: The various embodiments provide methods implemented in a multi-RF communication device for managing a victim subscription's de-sense by proactively implementing an RF coexistence management strategy on the victim subscription when an RF coexistence event starts. In various embodiments, a multi-RF communication device may implement an RF coexistence management strategy by determining when an aggressor subscription will de-sense a victim subscription and configuring the victim to anticipate and mitigate de-sense during the aggressor's transmissions. Thus, the various embodiments may provide dramatic improvements to the victim's overall reception performance and overall user experience.

  • Patent number: 11405229
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing explicit multicast local identifier assignment for per-partition default multicast local identifiers defined as subnet manager policy input in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, an explicit multicast local identifier (MLID) assignment policy can be provided (as, e.g., administrative input) that explicitly defines which MLIDs will be used for which partitions in a subnet. Further, an MLID assignment policy can also define which dedicated MLIDs will be associated with given multicast group identifiers (for example, partition independent MLIDs). By employing such an MLID assignment policy, a new or restarted master subnet manger can observe and verify the MLIDs used for existing partitions, instead of generating new MGID to MLID mappings. In this way, changes in MLID associations for any corresponding MGID can be avoided as a result of master SM restarts or failovers, or any subnet-merge operations.

  • Patent number: 11405128
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to minimizing the block error rate (BLER) experienced by a user equipment (UE) upon a downlink beam switch at the base station. The base station may mitigate the link adaptation convergence transient upon performing a beam switch by modifying the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) according to a difference in reference signal received power (RSRP) between the old beam and the new beam. The base station may further adjust the MCS utilizing an outer-loop link adaptation process or channel state feedback (CSF) provided by the UE after the beam switch. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 11388668
    Abstract: A method for controlling, via a terminal, a standby mode of a first communication module of the terminal. The first communication module exchanges data with a first wireless access network. The terminal includes a second communication module, which exchanges data with a second wireless access network. The second communication module has a maximum data rate that is lower than a maximum data rate of the first communication module. The terminal belongs to a group of terminals sharing a set of one or several identification codes for connecting to the first wireless network. When the first communication module is in standby mode, the second communication module listens to a downlink between the second wireless access network and the terminal. The first communication module is activated and connects to the first wireless network using the indicated identification code in the activation request received from the server.
