  • Patent number: 11792817
    Abstract: A base station is disclosed that enables an efficient use of resources even when a TTI length is shortened. In this base station, a PDCCH section (103) generates one piece of downlink control information (DCI) containing control information for a plurality of first transmission time intervals (TTIs) each having a TTI length shorter than a second TTI, and a transmission section (107) transmits the DCI. Control information on retransmission processing for a data signal is configured for each of the plurality of first TTIs while control information other than the control information on the retransmission processing is configured in common among the plurality of first TTIs in the DCI.

  • Patent number: 11792787
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station used for wireless communication. The UE receives a first signaling in a first time window in a first subband; monitors a second signaling in a second time window in a second subband; if successfully receives the second signaling in the second time window in the second subband, transmits a first radio signal in a third time window in a third subband, otherwise drops transmission of the first radio signal in the third time window in the third subband. Herein, the first signaling comprises first-type scheduling information of the first radio signal. The above method allows the base station to flexibly control a transmission time of each uplink transmission on unlicensed spectrum according to specific conditions, such as the result of LBT or the direction of beamforming.

  • Patent number: 11784925
    Abstract: An apparatus for switching network traffic includes an ingress packet forwarding engine and an egress packet forwarding engine. The ingress packet forwarding engine is configured to determine, in response to receiving a network packet, an egress packet forwarding engine for outputting the network packet and enqueue the network packet in a virtual output queue. The egress packet forwarding engine is configured to output, in response to a first scheduling event and to the ingress packet forwarding engine, information indicating the network packet in the virtual output queue and that the network packet is to be enqueued at an output queue for an output port of the egress packet forwarding engine. The ingress packet forwarding engine is further configured to dequeue, in response to receiving the information, the network packet from the virtual output queue and enqueue the network packet to the output queue.

  • Patent number: 11757776
    Abstract: A dynamic SRMS (DSRMS) in a MPLS network generates unique segment identifiers for nodes of the network lacking segment identifiers (SIDs). The DSRMS receives network information from other nodes of the network that may include, for example, Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing information, advertised prefix values for the nodes, and label values used in MPLS routing. The DSRMS analyzes the information and identifies nodes of the network that are not associated with a SID. For each identified node, the DSRMS generates a unique SID and then announces the SID to other nodes within the network. Generating the unique SID may include executing a hashing function using the IP address of the identified node as an input.

  • Patent number: 11750228
    Abstract: There is provided a radio-frequency module that can reduce communication signal loss in both the case of employing one communication band of multiple communication bands and the case of employing two or more communication bands together. A radio-frequency module includes a first switching circuit and matching circuits. The matching circuits are provided individually for a first transmission path, a second transmission path, and a third transmission path. When communications are performed by using only a first communication band, the first switching circuit selects the first transmission path. When communications are performed by using together the first communication band and the second communication band, the first switching circuit selects the second transmission path and the third transmission path.

  • Patent number: 11751133
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for setting a resolution for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of a user equipment (UE) based on a modulated reference signal received from a base station (BS) during a first (for example, initial) symbol period of a slot. In one aspect, the first symbol period of the slot and a cyclic prefix (CP) of the first symbol period may be relatively longer in time than other symbol periods and other CPs of the slot and, in some implementations, the BS may transmit a configuration to the UE allocating a portion of the first symbol period for the transmission of the modulated reference signal. The UE may demodulate the modulated reference signal, calibrate an automatic gain control (AGC) of the UE, and set the resolution of the ADC of the UE based on the modulated reference signal.

  • Patent number: 11737102
    Abstract: A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may include receiving configuration information for reporting a power headroom (PH) associated with each of a plurality of cells, wherein a first cell uses first time intervals each having a first length and a second cell uses second time intervals each having a second length. The method may include transmitting a first uplink transmission using a first carrier frequency associated with the first cell and transmitting, in one of the second time intervals that is fully overlapped by the one of the first time intervals, based on the received configuration information, a report including information indicating a first PH corresponding to the one of the first time intervals and a second PH corresponding to the earliest one in time of the second time intervals that is fully overlapped by the one of the first time intervals.

  • Patent number: 11722242
    Abstract: A message transmission method and device relating to the field of communications technologies are described that improve an anti-interference capability in message transmission. The method includes generating a scrambling code according to a scrambling code initialization seed, wherein the scrambling code initialization seed meets the following expression: cinit=R·2a7+P·(nf mod k+1)·2b7 and then scrambling a message according to the scrambling code. The method further includes sending the scrambled message to a terminal on a physical downlink shared channel. Because the first time parameter has different values at at least two different moments, scrambling codes determined at the at least two corresponding different moments are different. Therefore, a possibility at which the base station uses a same scrambling code to scramble a same system message repeatedly in a time period is reduced, so that an anti-interference capability in system message transmission is improved.
