  • Patent number: 11765647
    Abstract: An antenna system with network awareness includes a control system that points the antenna to a compatible network. The user provides the antenna with an input of a particular wireless service carrier and the control system begins searching for radio frequency signals that indicate the antenna is pointed at a compatible tower. Once a tower is located, the control system reads the carrier identification data transmitted from that tower to determine if the wireless carrier is compatible with the user's service. If an appropriate signal is not found, the control system will continue moving the antenna until another tower is found and the carrier identification information will again be checked. This process is repeated until a compatible tower is identified. Additional iterations can locate additional compatible towers. The antenna can be moved to a final position where the desired network signal is at the highest detected RF power.

  • Patent number: 11722969
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine separate uplink (UL) power limitations for multiple transmission time interval (TTI) durations based on distinct power control parameters. In some cases, an adjustment factor or a power backoff may be applied to communications using one TTI duration to ensure that total transmit power does not exceed a threshold. The UE and the serving base station may also identify one or more demodulation reference signal (DMRS) windows. UL data transmissions may be demodulated based on a DMRS sent during the same window. Transmit power control (TPC) commands may be applied at the beginning of each window. However, if an UL transmission is scheduled at the beginning of the window, the UE may wait until a DMRS transmission or until no more transmissions are scheduled for the window before applying the TPC adjustment.
