  • Patent number: 12267876
    Abstract: A base station transmits a random access response in response to a random access request (random access preamble) of a user equipment. The random access response includes information about a time when the random access request is transmitted and sequence number information of the random access request (random access preamble). The user equipment checks whether the received random access response is the response of the random access request transmitted by the user equipment, using the information about the time when the random access request is transmitted and the sequence number information included in the received random access response.

  • Patent number: 12262344
    Abstract: Implementations for providing a mobility management with optimized paging system in a wireless communication system comprising a core network (CN) node and a user equipment (UE) in operative communication with one another through a base station are disclosed. The paging system may, by way of example, be provided in three stages. The first stage is determining whether the destination base station is the same as the source base station, resulting in either first paging if they are the same or to subjecting the base stations belonging to the tracking area list where the UE is found to filtering if they are not the same. The second paging takes place if the destination base station is present in a list of predicted base stations that come as a result of the filtered base stations. The third paging may take place if the destination base stations is not present in the list of predicted base stations.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 12192118
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for using opportunistically delayed delivery of content to address sub-optimal bandwidth resource usage in network infrastructures that allow subscribers to share forward link resources. According to some embodiments, content is identified as delayable and assigned to a delaycast queue and/or service flow. For example, a server system of a satellite communications system identifies content that can be delayed to exploit future excess link capacity through multicasting and to exploit subscriber-side storage resources. Some implementations attempt to exploit any excess link resources at any time, while others exploit unused bandwidth only during certain times or when a certain threshold of resources is available. Various embodiments also provide content scoring and/or other prioritization techniques for optimizing exploitation of the delaycast queue.
