  • Patent number: 11515978
    Abstract: A method is provided for TCI switching related to CSI-RS measurement and reporting, spatial relation switch for SRS, PUSCH, and PUCCH. The PDSCH and PDCCH are received according to the QCLed aperiodic CSI-RS. When the AP CSI-RS is configured as the reference in the TCI of PDSCH, UE may apply the updated TCI for the PDSCH, after the corresponding aperiodic report has been received at the network. Spatial relation switch is based on the valid measurement report. The spatial relation switch delay of aperiodic SRS can be performed when UE has sent the corresponding measurement report to the network.

  • Patent number: 11516037
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for reducing multicast traffic within a network by optimizing placement of virtual machines within subnets and within hosts, and by optimizing mapping of overlay multicast groups to underlay multicast groups. In one embodiment, substantially all VMs of a multicast group are migrated to the same subnet of the network. Thereafter or independently, VMs in the same subnet are migrated to the same host, ideally to the subnet proxy endpoint of that subnet. In the same or in another embodiment, if multiple overlay groups map to the same underlay group, one or more of the overlay groups may be remapped to a separate underlay group to improve network performance.

  • Patent number: 11490368
    Abstract: To suppress concentration of channel quality information requests and reports in a case of discontinuously transmitting reference signals at specific resources in a time domain, and thereby preventing degradation in throughput. A transmission apparatus transmits an instruction of CSI request distributed for each reception apparatus in a subframe concurrently with or earlier than a reference signal CSI-RS to each of reception apparatuses. Each of the reception apparatuses detects the CSI request from the transmission apparatus and calculates CSI from a channel estimation value of CSI-RS received thereafter. Then, the reception apparatus identifies CSI report subframe of the own apparatus from CSI report interval information of a given time interval notified in advance, the subframe in which the CSI request is detected and transmission timing of CSI-RS, and transmits a feedback signal including CSI report value by using PUSCH at the timing of the CSI report subframe.

  • Patent number: 11464004
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently limiting a number of blind decoding attempts or control channel elements (CCEs) that a user equipment (UE) is configured to monitor to limit complexity at the UE. When a UE is configured to use blind decoding for monitoring CCEs in multiple spans in a slot for control information from a base station, the UE may be configured to perform dropping of blind decoding candidates or CCEs in a first temporal span in the slot. In other words, the UE may identify a dropping rule to drop CCE monitoring occasions or blind decoding attempts in excess of a maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs per span or a maximum number of blind decoding attempts per span, respectively, and the UE may apply the dropping rule to the first temporal span within the slot.
