  • Patent number: 11934331
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for dynamically selecting between wired and wireless interconnects for sending packets are disclosed. A system includes at least a hybrid communication engine and a plurality of interconnects for connecting to various end-points. The communication engine dynamically discovers and utilizes the best interconnect technology available in between given end-points. The communication engine dynamically chooses the physical interconnect that is best suited at any given time to send data from one source to one or multiple destinations. This communication can be either on-chip or across nodes. The communication engine makes a decision based on a set of predetermined parameters that can be re-adjusted by the application layer, such as latency of the transmission, message data size, physical distance from source to destination, the energy cost, and the current congestion on the alternative interconnects.

  • Patent number: 11877254
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may ascertain an incapability of the network to process a pending uplink signal based on a registration acceptance message from the network. For instance, a registration acceptance message from the network, that may indicate the network is not capable of processing the pending uplink signal service. Accordingly, upon ascertaining the incapability of the network to process the pending uplink signal, the UE may release a connection (e.g., a N1 Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling connection) between the UE and the network, where the connection is based on camping of the UE at a cell corresponding to the radio access network (RAN) (e.g., the NG-RAN) of the network. Alternatively, the UE may initiate one of an implementation dependent timer and a release timer (e.g., a T3540 timer) to release the connection (e.g., to release the N1 NAS signaling connection).

  • Patent number: 11838893
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for relayed sidelink communications in which a set of relays receives a groupcast sidelink communication from a source and relay the communication to a destination using cooperative multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques. A source, such as a source user equipment (UE), may reserve resources for the groupcast sidelink communication and the cooperative MIMO transmissions, and may transmit a resource reservation message with an indication of the reserved resources. The resource reservation message may be transmitted in a sidelink control information transmission, in a medium access control message, or any combinations thereof. In the event of a collision in reserved resources of multiple different sources, the sources or relays may determine a priority of each communication and transmit a selected communication based on the priority determination.
