  • Patent number: 11606248
    Abstract: In a 5G network, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) deployment in a 5G network, can enable aggregation of multiple user equipment (UE) bearers into backhaul bearers based on factors such as route information of UE bearers and quality of service of UE bearers. Additionally, an adaptation layer can be configured to perform aggregation of data from UE bearers into backhaul bearers either above or below a radio link control layer. Thus, aggregation of data from UE bearers into backhaul bearers can be performed either above the RLC or below the RLC to take advantage of benefits from both options.

  • Patent number: 11601922
    Abstract: A first wireless communication device receives a packet from a second wireless communication device, the packet having information indicating that the second wireless communication device is relinquishing control of a wireless communication medium. The first wireless communication device determines whether the packet was transmitted in a wireless network to which the first wireless communication device belongs, and determines whether a network allocation vector (NAV) timer of the first wireless communication device was most recently set in connection with a transmission from the wireless network to which the first wireless communication device belongs. When i) the packet was transmitted in the wireless network to which the first wireless communication device belongs, and ii) the NAV timer was most recently set in connection with a transmission from another wireless network to which the first wireless communication device does not belong, the NAV timer is not reset.

  • Patent number: 11576135
    Abstract: An integrated access and backhaul network is provided with network nodes that can establish timing synchronization with any other network nodes. In an embodiment, network nodes in a multi-hop integrated access and backhaul network have a hop order of n, wherein n represents a number of hops from a node connected to the core network via a wired connection. In an embodiment, instead of using the network node with a hop order of 0 as the timing synchronization reference for over-the-air synchronization, any network node can use any other network node as a synchronization reference. A relay node can first establish a wireless link to said arbitrary node. Said wireless link is then used to synchronize the relay or IAB node using a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) implementation.

  • Patent number: 11553508
    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.
