Patent number: 9893997Abstract: A system for creating a session entry and forwarding an IP packet includes memories that store session and session template tables, and first and second processors in communication with the memories. When the first processor receives the IP packet, it determines whether the session table includes a session entry corresponding to the IP packet. If the session table does not include the session entry, the first processor determines whether the session template table includes a session template entry corresponding to the IP packet. The first processor generates the session entry using the session template entry and the IP packet. If the session template table does not include the session template entry, the first processor forwards the IP packet to the second processor, which generates the session template entry and the session entry.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: NXP USA,INC.Inventors: Kumara Swamy Ganji, Patel Ravikanth Reddy

Patent number: 9872316Abstract: Enhanced random access procedures for link-budget-limited user equipment (UE) devices are disclosed. A user equipment device may transmit a first message containing a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH). The PRACH contains instances of a Zadoff-Chu sequence, and may be transmitted repeatedly as part of a single random attempt, to facilitate correlation data combining at the base station. The available Zadoff-Chu sequences may be partitioned among a plurality of sets, each set being associated with a respective Doppler shift range (or frequency hop pattern or time repetition pattern). A UE device may signal Doppler shift (or other information) to the base station by selection of one of the sets. The first PRACH transmission and the following PRACH transmission may occur in consecutive subframes. A UE device may select from a special set of Zadoff-Chu sequences (different from a conventional set of sequences), to signal its status as a link-budget-limited device.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Tarik Tabet, Youngjae Kim, Syed Aon Mujtaba
