  • Patent number: 11290243
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method for transmitting downlink control information to a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method includes segmenting a plurality of Aggregation Levels (ALs) across multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs) in a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). Further, the method includes transmitting the plurality of segmented aggregation levels across multiple BWPs to one or more UEs. The segmented plurality of ALs comprises multiple combinations of ALs across multiple BWPs. The proposed method includes narrowing down the search space by signaling to the UE explicitly or implicitly the AL resources that the UE has to monitor to perform the decoding of the PDCCH. In some embodiments, the length of the control information formats is modified such that the UE needs to perform a minimum number of blind decoding attempts.

  • Patent number: 11277231
    Abstract: This application discloses an information processing method, an apparatus, a communication device, and a communication system. The communication device is configured to determine a redundancy version transmission sequence, where the redundancy version transmission sequence is used to indicate a sending sequence of a plurality of redundancy versions; determine a transmission number; and obtain a redundancy version from a buffer sequence based on the redundancy version transmission sequence and the transmission number and send the redundancy version. The communication device may be applied to a communication system supporting a plurality of redundancy version transmission sequences, for example, a 5th generation (5G) communication system. Because the redundancy version transmission sequence is determined before data transmission, communication efficiency is improved, and HARQ performance is improved.

  • Patent number: 11272412
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may autonomously initiate a handover procedure and select a target base station for the handover procedure. The UE may measure a signal from the source base station or the target base station, or both, and the UE may determine whether specific criteria at both base stations are within a pre-configured range. If the criteria at both base stations are within the pre-configured range, the UE may identify the target base station as a potential candidate for a handover. Accordingly, when the UE determines that radio conditions with the source base station are deteriorating (or fall below a threshold), the UE may initiate a handover to the target base station autonomously and without specific direction from the source base station.

  • Patent number: 11270769
    Abstract: A non-volatile programmable circuit configurable to perform logic functions, is provided. The programmable circuit can employ two-terminal non-volatile memory devices to store information, thereby mitigating or avoiding disturbance of programmed data in the absence of external power. Two-terminal resistive switching memory devices having high current on/off ratios and fast switching times can also be employed for high performance, and facilitating a high density array. For look-up table applications, input/output response times can be several nanoseconds or less, facilitating much faster response times than a memory array access for retrieving stored data.

  • Patent number: 11218350
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may communicate with a user equipment (UE) during short transmission time intervals (sTTIs). The base station may transmit reference signals in an sTTI for the UE to use to perform channel estimation for demodulating the data received in the sTTI. As described herein, a base station may transmit reference signals in a subset of the sTTIs used for downlink communications with the UE. The UE may receive the reference signals in the subset of the sTTIs and use these reference signals to perform channel estimation for demodulating data received in other sTTIs. In some cases, the UE may use the reference signals in one or more previous sTTIs in combination with the reference signals received in a current sTTI to perform channel estimation for demodulating data received in the current sTTI.
