  • Patent number: 11622353
    Abstract: A base station may configure a set of autonomous uplink (AUL) resources for a specific base station receive beam, or the AUL resources may be configured for specific user equipment (UEs) or user groups. Additionally, the AUL resources may be configured to include a sensing portion, a data portion, or both. As an example, a UE may receive an AUL configuration that includes an indication of a set of AUL resources that are specific to a base station receive beam. The UE may then determine that the set of AUL resources is available and perform an AUL transmission of uplink data using the set of beam-specific AUL resources. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may perform the AUL transmission with respective portions that include a sensing signal and the uplink data. The base station may use the sensing signal to determine a receive beam on which to receive the uplink data.

  • Patent number: 11622397
    Abstract: An apparatus of a next generation NodeB (gNB) comprises one or more baseband processors to interconnect a gNB Central Unit control-plane entity (gNB-CU-CP) with a gNB Central Unit user-plane entity (gNB-CU-UP) via an E1 control plane interface and a gNB Distributed Unit (gNB-DU) via an F1 control plane interface. Rather than relying on multiple class-1 procedures initiated by gNB-CU-CP toward gNB-CU-UP and gNB-DU, the one or more baseband processors are configured to establish or modify a bearer context and to communicate data transport tunneling and/or packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) preservation status information for a specific user equipment (UE), utilizing the direct F1 user plane interface between gNB-DU and gNB-CU-UP to avoid relaying delay. The gNB can include a memory to store the bearer context and data transport tunneling information.

  • Patent number: 11617064
    Abstract: Implementing communication barriers in a group-based communication system is described. In an example, a privacy setting associated with a communication privilege for communicating with a user of a group-based communication system can be stored, wherein the privacy setting permits the user to transmit communications via the group-based communication and restricts another user of the group-based communication system from communicating with the user. The group-based communication system can deny a communication privilege of the other user based at least in part on the privacy setting, wherein denying the communication privilege prohibits the other user from at least one of initiating a message associated with a user identifier of the user or transmitting the message to a client device associated with the user identifier.

  • Patent number: 11558720
    Abstract: A mobile network platform creates a device group according to a member device supporting a mobile network multicast communication manner in a Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2M) group, generates an identifier of an external group corresponding to the device group, and requests a service capability exposure function (SCEF) to create the external group according to the identifier of the external group and an external device identifier of the member device supporting the mobile network multicast communication manner. When receiving an access request for the M2M group, the mobile network platform obtains the device group in the M2M group, learns of the corresponding external group, and then requests the SCEF to access the member device in the external group in a multicast communication manner. Hence, an amount of information generated due to interaction between an M2M platform and an M2M device is reduced, while reducing resource overheads.

  • Patent number: 11558880
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, a sidelink scheduling request for groupcast sidelink communications with a set of one or more UEs. The base station may determine one or more UEs of the set of UEs and time-frequency resources for groupcast sidelink communication between the first UE and the one or more UEs. The first UE may receive, from the base station, a groupcast sidelink grant that indicates time-frequency resources for groupcast sidelink communications between the first UE and one or more UEs. The first UE may transmit, via the time-frequency resources indicated by the groupcast sidelink grant, a groupcast sidelink message to the one or more UEs. The one or more UEs may also receive the sidelink grant, and may monitor the time-frequency resources for a groupcast sidelink communication from the first UE.

  • Patent number: 11552905
    Abstract: A first node of a packet switched network transmits at least one flow of protocol data units of a network to at least one output context of one of a plurality of second nodes of the network. The first node includes X virtual output queues (VOQs). The first node receives, from at least one of the second nodes, at least one fair rate record. Each fair rate record corresponds to a particular second node output context and describes a recommended rate of flow to the particular output context. The first node allocates up to X of the VOQs among flows corresponding to i) currently allocated VOQs, and ii) the flows corresponding to the received fair rate records. The first node operates each allocated VOQ according to the corresponding recommended rate of flow until a deallocation condition obtains for the each allocated VOQ.
