Patent number: 11943630Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may support dynamic spectrum sharing for multiple radio protocols, such as New Radio and Long Term Evolution. Systems may implement a number of techniques to improve spectrum use by user equipment in dynamically shared frequency spectrums. In some aspects, the network may assign a user equipment to a specific bandwidth part based on a rate matching capability of the user equipment. Additionally or alternatively, the network may activate a specific bandwidth part based on the frequency of handover for a user equipment. In some aspects, the network may support dual registration (e.g., registration in a same frequency spectrum using different radio protocols) for a user equipment operating on a dynamically shared spectrum. To reduce the control overhead for such a user equipment, the network may use a single control channel to schedule data for multiple radio protocols.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: Akash Kumar

Patent number: 11910439Abstract: An information handling system includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor detects a first RF signal of the RF signals received by the transceiver from a first access point (AP), and determines whether an energy level for the first RF signal is above a energy level threshold. If so, the processor determines whether basic service set (BSS) color of the first RF signal is the same as BSS color of a second RF signal from a second AP. If not, the RF signal is coming from a different network. The processor calculates distance to the second AP, determines and configures receive sensitivity energy level threshold based on the calculated distance. If the energy level of the first RF signal is less than the receive sensitivity energy level threshold, the processor continues to receive RF signals from the second AP, and continue to reject RF signals from the interfering network.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventor: Harpreet Narula

Patent number: 11849483Abstract: A dynamic configuration of crest factor reduction in a licensed assisted access radio system. A processing device comprises a detecting block, a clipping pulse generator, a first storage block, a selecting block, a full clipping block and a simplified clipping block. The detecting block performs a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure on a plurality of carriers in parallel and generates a trigger signal in response to LBT success on one or more carriers. The clipping pulse generator generates, for the carrier(s) with LBT success, a clipping pulse within a time period from the receipt of the trigger signal to the start of user traffic transmission. The first storage block stores the clipping pulse for use by the full clipping block. The selecting block selects the full clipping block when there is user traffic on the carrier(s) and selects the simplified clipping block when there is no user traffic on the carrier(s).Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Gan Wen, Jinsong Yang

Patent number: 11785645Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for aggregating random access requests across two or more physical random access channel (PRACH) occasions. Poor channel quality may inhibit the receipt of random access requests, and for user equipments (UEs) located in areas with relatively poor coverage, such aggregated random access requests may have an increased likelihood of successful receipt at a base station. The base station may configure a number of PRACH occasions to be available for aggregation of random access requests. A UE may receive PRACH configuration information from the base station, may aggregate a random access request across two or more PRACH occasions using the PRACH configuration information, and may transmit the aggregated random access request via the PRACH occasions. The base station may also configure one or more PRACH occasions to have a smaller subcarrier spacing for transmission of a random access request.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Xiaoxia Zhang, Jing Sun, Zhifei Fan, Yan Zhou, Tao Luo
