  • Patent number: 12375198
    Abstract: An electronic eyewear device includes first and second systems-on-chip (SoCs) having independent time bases. The first and second SoCs are connected by a shared general purpose input/output (GPIO) connection and an inter-SoC interface. The first and second SoCs are synchronized to each other by the first SoC asserting the shared GPIO connection to the second SoC where assertion of the message to the shared GPIO connection triggers an interrupt request (IRQ) at the second SoC. The first SoC records a first timestamp for assertion of the message to the GPIO connection, and the second SoC records a second timestamp of receipt of the IRQ. The first SoC sends a message including the first timestamp to the second SoC over the inter-SoC interface. The second SoC calculates a clock offset between the first and second SoCs as a difference between the first and second timestamps.

  • Patent number: 12245315
    Abstract: If uplink data together with an RRC resume request message is received from a radio terminal in an RRC_INACTIVE state and a radio terminal context is not available in a first RAN node (1), the first RAN node (1) sends a second type of control message to a second RAN node (2). The second type of control message requests the radio terminal context, and is distinct from a first type of control message that is sent to the second RAN node (2) by the first RAN node (1) when an RRC resume request message not accompanied by uplink data is received. This can contribute, for example, to enabling uplink (UL) data of a radio terminal in RRC_INACTIVE to be transmitted to a core network without relocating a radio terminal context from an old RAN node to a new RAN node.

  • Patent number: 12225592
    Abstract: Aspects are provided to support payloads for msgA transmission in a two-step random access (RACH) procedure by providing a one-to-many mapping arrangement between preambles and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource units (PRUs). A preamble is determined by the UE which is mapped to one or more groups of PRUs to support piggybacking of uplink control information (UCI), frequency hopping on PUSCH, and multiple-slot repetition for msgA transmissions. By piggybacking UCI to a payload in msgA, flexibility may be provided in the selection of MCS and waveform as well as resource allocation for demodulation reference signals (DMRS) and PUSCH in PRUs. Moreover, by allowing a payload to hop to different frequencies on PUSCH during the transmission of msgA, a gain in frequency diversity and interference averaging may be provided, and by enabling a payload to repeat across multiple slots in msgA transmission, coverage enhancement and/or reliability may be increased.
