  • Patent number: 12235717
    Abstract: A communication system and an operation method thereof are provided. A transmitting device transmits a data unit to a receiving device through a data channel of a communication interface. The transmitting device calculates an original verification information unit of the data unit and synchronously transmits the original verification information unit to the receiving device through a verification information channel of the communication interface based on a transmission timing of the data unit in the data channel. After receiving a current data unit and before receiving a next data unit, the receiving device verifies whether the current data unit received from the data channel has errors in real time based on a current original verification information unit corresponding to the current data unit.

  • Patent number: 12149482
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may transmit feedback, such as hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for groups of code blocks rather than for an entire transport block or individual code blocks. The wireless device may transmit an acknowledgement (ACK) or negative-acknowledgement (NACK) to provide feedback for each code block group of a set of code block groups. An ACK may indicate that code blocks in a code block group were successfully decoded, and a NACK may indicate that at least one code block in a code block group was not successfully decoded. Wireless devices may support several techniques for grouping code blocks for feedback reporting to allow for efficient retransmissions and limited overhead. Different grouping schemes may be employed depending on system constraints, device capability, link conditions, or the like.

  • Patent number: 12132577
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described herein for improved efficiency of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) transmitting transport blocks (TBs). A WTRU may receive configuration information including uplink resources associated with one or more repetition bundles and a target number of retransmissions for a transport block (TB) associated with at least one hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process. Then, the WTRU may transmit a first TB using a first uplink resource in a first repetition bundle based on the configuration information. Further, the WTRU may increment a retransmission counter. On a condition that the retransmission counter is less than the target number of retransmissions, the WTRU may determine a second uplink resource. Further, the WTRU may retransmit the first TB in the determined second uplink resource. Also, the WTRU may further increment the retransmission counter. Moreover, the first, second and third uplink resources may be physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources.

  • Patent number: 12126455
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving telecommunications services by intelligently deploying radio access network components and redundant links within a data center hierarchy to satisfy latency, power, availability, and quality of service requirements for one or more network slices are described. The radio access network components may include virtualized distributed units (VDUs) and virtualized centralized units (VCUs). To satisfy a latency requirement for a network slice, various components of a radio access network may need to be redeployed closer to user equipment. To satisfy a power requirement for the network slice, various components of the radio access network may need to be redeployed closer to core network components. Over time, the components of the radio access network may be dynamically reassigned to different layers within a data center hierarchy in order to satisfy changing latency requirements and power requirements for the network slice.

  • Patent number: 12119928
    Abstract: Systems and methods to transmit data over multiple communication channels in parallel with forward error correction. Original packets are evenly distributed to the channels as the initial systematically channel-encoded packets. Subsequent channel-encoded packets are configured to be linearly independent of their base sets of channel-encoded packets, where a base set for a subsequent channel-encoded packet includes those scheduled to be transmitted before the subsequent packet in the same channel as the subsequent packet, and optionally one or more initial packets from other channels. The compositions of the sequences of the encoded packets can be predetermined without the content of the packets; and the channel-encoded packets can be generated from the original packets on-the-fly by the transmitters of the channels during transmission. When a sufficient number of packets have been received via the channels, a recipient may terminate their transmissions.
