  • Patent number: 11838882
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and device used in wireless communication node. A first node receives first information and second information via an air interface, the first information indicating a first time offset value, and the second information indicating a first time-domain resource relative to a first instant of time; the first instant of time is associated with a first time unit. By designing the first time offset value in the present disclosure, whenever a terminal A expects a terminal B to transmit, the terminal B is able to transmit according to a timing obtained by itself and there is no need for multiple interactions between these terminals to acquire a timing advance (TA), thus improving radio signal transmission efficiency on sidelink in IOT and V2X systems and the system's overall performance.

  • Patent number: 11805065
    Abstract: Packets are differentiated based on their traffic class. A traffic class is allocated bandwidth for transmission. One or more core or thread can be allocated to process packets of a traffic class for transmission based on allocated bandwidth for that traffic class. If multiple traffic classes are allocated bandwidth, and a traffic class underutilizes allocated bandwidth or a traffic class is allocated insufficient bandwidth, then allocated bandwidth can be adjusted for a future transmission time slot. For example, a higher priority traffic class with excess bandwidth can share the excess bandwidth with a next highest priority traffic class for use to allocate packets for transmission for the same time slot.

  • Patent number: 11770462
    Abstract: Techniques for transmitting data packets on a shared channel in a data communications network, include determining a time slot interval, T, based on a longest data packet to be transmitted on a shared channel in a data communications network. At a first node in the data communications network a local base time, t0, is determined equal to a time at an end of receipt of a successful acknowledgement control packet on the shared channel. A local data packet is transmitted from the first node onto the shared channel at a transmit time that is an integer multiple n of T after the local base time t0. The local data packet is determined to be successfully transmitted when a successful acknowledgement control packet that uniquely indicates the local data packet is received on the shared channel within the interval T of transmitting the local data packet.
