  • Patent number: 11477747
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Different periodicities may be dynamically selected when monitoring and transmitting signaling used for link management, where respective periodicities may be based on the quality of the link between devices. For instance, a first wireless device may use a first monitoring periodicity to monitor for signals transmitted from another wireless device. Upon determining that a link condition has changed (e.g., decreased or reached a threshold), the first wireless device may decrease its monitoring periodicity (and increase monitoring frequency) to detect signals transmitted by the other wireless device more frequently. In such cases, the other wireless device may likewise transmit its measurement signals more often (e.g., in accordance with a second periodicity) based on the link quality. The adjusted monitoring and transmission periodicities may provide additional occasions for the wireless device to detect signals from another device.

  • Patent number: 11411675
    Abstract: A method and a device in communication nodes used for wireless communications. A communication node receives first information, transmits a first radio signal, and monitors a first-type signaling in a first time window. Wherein an end time for a transmission of the first radio signal is used for determining a start of the first time window, and a time-domain resource occupied by the first radio signal is used for determining a first characteristic identity. The first characteristic identity is one of M characteristic identities, M being a positive integer greater than 1, and the first information is used for determining the M characteristic identities. The first-type signaling carries one of the M characteristic identities, and the communication node determines a characteristic identity carried by the first-type signaling out of the M characteristic identities through blind detection. The random access performance is therefore improved.
