  • Patent number: 11943806
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a resource allocation procedure, performed between a user equipment and radio base station. The UE is configured with at least one numerology scheme, each associated with parameters partitioning time-frequency radio resources into resource scheduling units differently. The UE is configured with logical channels each of which is associated with at least one numerology scheme. A receiver of the UE receives from the radio base station an uplink scheduling assignment, which indicates uplink radio resources usable by the UE. A processor of the UE determines for which numerology scheme the received uplink scheduling assignment is intended based on the received uplink scheduling assignment. The processor performs a logical channel prioritization procedure by allocating the assigned uplink radio resources to the configured logical channels and by prioritizing those logical channels that are associated with the numerology scheme for which the uplink scheduling assignment is intended.

  • Patent number: 11936501
    Abstract: A radio receiver tunes a radio channel by generating a periodic signal, mixing the periodic signal with received radio signals and passing the mixed signal through a channel filter that has a passband that corresponds to the bandwidth of the tuned channel. The receiver receives allocation information identifying a set of subcarriers in the tuned channel on which to receive an OFDM data signal. It uses this information to receive the OFDM data, modulated on the allocated subcarriers. When the allocated subcarriers span an allocated frequency range that is less than the width of the tuned channel and that is offset from the centre of the tuned channel in an offset direction, the receiver offsets the channel filter from the centre of the tuned channel in the offset direction such that the channel filter passes i) said OFDM data signal, ii) an in-allocation reference signal, and iii) an out-of-channel reference signal.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a data transmission method and apparatus. The method can include, in response to performing resource mapping on a physical downlink channel, mapping data symbols to a data transmission symbol and an adjustment symbol of a target sub-frame containing the adjustment symbol. The target sub-frame is a last sub-frame before performing a frequency adjustment or an uplink/downlink switching and/or a first sub-frame after performing the frequency adjustment or the uplink/downlink switching. The data transmission symbol is an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol for transmitting data, and the adjustment symbol is an OFDM symbol used for an adjustment time of a narrowband frequency adjustment or an adjustment time of the uplink/downlink switching. The method can further include transmitting the data symbol in the adjustment symbol or disabling transmission of the data symbol in the adjustment symbol when performing data transmission in the target sub-frame.

  • Patent number: 11924845
    Abstract: A satellite provides communication between user terminals (UTs) and ground stations that connect to other networks, such as the Internet. Because the satellite is within range of many UTs at any given time, many UTs are in contention to use an uplink to send upstream data to the satellite. This saturates a random-access channel (RACH) on the uplink. When a UT has data to uplink, it sends a short buffer data status (SBDS) message using the RACH. The minimal size of the SBDS facilitates use of a non-orthogonal multiple access uplink. Based on the SBDS, the satellite allocates a grant to the UT to use the uplink. Additional messages from the UT involving buffer status may be sent using the granted uplink. Unsolicited grants may be issued to the UT based on analysis of uplink and downlink traffic. If needed, the RACH may still be used to request additional grants.

  • Patent number: 11924808
    Abstract: Techniques for sidelink resource selection, reselection, and reevaluation are disclosed. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for 5G-NR sidelink communications, the processing circuitry is to decode an SCI format received via a PSCCH. The SCI format includes priority information for a scheduled PSSCH transmission. RRC signaling is decoded to determine first configuration information and second configuration information. The first configuration information identifies a sensing window, and the second configuration information identifies a resource selection window. A boundary of the resource selection window is based on the priority information. A set of candidate single-slot resources is determined during the sensing window using a resource pool. A resource is selected during the resource selection window from the set of candidate single-slot resources.
