  • Patent number: 10021537
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a wireless communication network system and a method for determining a representative sensor device for appropriately selecting, from a plurality of sensor devices, a device with which a server communicates. [Solution] A server (120) transmits a group representative determination request including a list of parameters for determining a representative sensor device. Sensor devices (140a-z) transmit, upon receiving the parameter list, a device parameter indicating the parameter of each of the sensor devices corresponding to the parameter list. The representative sensor device is determined on the basis of the device parameters transmitted by the sensor devices (140a-z). The representative sensor device transmits, to the server (120), measurement result information generated by the sensor device itself and measurement result information generated by the other sensor devices.

  • Patent number: 10009150
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and a user equipment for performing a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) transmission in a downlink from a base station to at least one user equipment are provided. An exemplary method comprises receiving a HARQ feedback to a HARQ transmission performed with respect to a transport block. The method further comprises determining whether the HARQ feedback is an ambiguous HARQ feedback with respect to a negative acknowledgement or a discontinuous transmission. The method additionally comprises setting (S206) the ambiguous HARQ feedback as the negative acknowledgement or the discontinuous transmission based on the number of HARQ transmissions having been performed and the corresponding received HARQ feedbacks within a target number of HARQ transmissions counting from a first HARQ transmission. With the methods and apparatuses, the ambiguity of the HARQ feedback can be overcome and communication efficiency may be improved.
