  • Patent number: 11659625
    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive control signaling to configure transmission of: a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) that includes first uplink control information (UCI) of a first UCI type; and a second PUCCH that includes second UCI of a second UCI type. In some cases, if the transmissions of the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH would overlap in a number of slots, the UE may, if the first and second UCI types are not of the same priority: transmit, in the overlapping slots, the PUCCH that includes the UCI type of highest priority; and refrain from transmission in the overlapping slots, and without postponement of the transmission, of the PUCCH that includes the UCI type of lowest priority.

  • Patent number: 11641263
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided in which data is received from a base station on a downlink data channel. It is determined whether a scheduling type of the downlink data channel is persistent or non-persistent. In case that the scheduling type is non-persistent, ACK/NACK information for the data is transmitted to the base station on a resource which is determined based on a first ACK/NACK resource allocation scheme. In case that the scheduling type is persistent and the data is initial persistent data, ACK/NACK information for the data is transmitted to the base station on a resource which is determined based on the first ACK/NACK resource allocation scheme. In case that the scheduling type is persistent and the data is persistent data following the initial persistent data, ACK/NACK information for the data is transmitted to the base station on a resource determined based on a second ACK/NACK resource allocation scheme.

  • Patent number: 11622046
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a solution that allows a PBX to utilize bridged mobile or desktop applications for collaboration and softphone use is provided. The solution works in conjunction with existing hardwired PBX devices without requiring additional hardware such as an edge router to be integrated with the PBX hardware. Incoming calls are able to ring a user's hardwired device, such as a desk phone at an office, while simultaneously ring mobile device or desktop applications (apps). App users can place outbound PSTN calls and dial PBX extensions just as if they were using their hardwired device. Additionally, PSTN services are utilized from the existing PBX rather than bypassing the existing PBX, which makes tracking and billing more straightforward. A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) tie trunk is used between the existing PBX and a software bridge controller.

  • Patent number: 11622387
    Abstract: In example an embodiment, according to the method, a timer is started to monitor selection of a RA resource in response to a RA procedure for accessing a network device being initiated. The timer is configured with expiration time. The timer is stopped in response to a RA resource being selected for transmitting a RA preamble to the network device. A preamble transmission counter is incremented in response to the timer expiring. The preamble transmission counter records the number of transmitted RA preambles. A failure of the RA procedure is indicated in response to the incremented preamble transmission counter exceeding a threshold. The embodiment enables completion of the RA procedure regardless of an out of coverage situation where no beam is available to be selected for transmitting a RA preamble.

  • Patent number: 11595906
    Abstract: A wireless device receives: a first maximum total transmit power allowed for a first cell group of a first type of radio access technology; and a second maximum total transmit power allowed for a second cell group of a second type of radio access technology. It is determined that a total transmission power exceeds a value based on: a first power for transmission of first uplink signal(s) via the first cell group, and a second power for transmission of second uplink signal(s) via the second cell group. The first and second powers are less than or equal to the first and second maximum total transmit powers respectively. Scheduled transmission of the first uplink signal(s) of the first cell group is dropped in response to the first cell group being of the first type of radio access technology. Second uplink signal(s) are transmitted to a base station.

  • Patent number: 11581973
    Abstract: Provided are a base station device and a mobile station device, which can lighten a cell-search processing. The base station device includes a frame constitution unit for forming a frame, in which a pilot symbol multiplied by a base station scrambling code and a plurality of sequences contained in the corresponding sequence set is arranged in at least the head or tail, and a radio transmission unit for sending the formed frame. On the receiving side, the frame timing can be detected from the position of a pilot symbol contained in that frame. Since the base station scrambling code and the sequence set containing the sequences are made to correspond to each other, candidates can be narrowed to at most the base station scrambling codes of the number of the combinations of the sequences contained in the sequence set, by detecting the sequences multiplied by the pilot symbol.

  • Patent number: 11581981
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include duplicating a packet within a plurality of packets to be transmitted to a destination computing node as a sequence of packets. The plurality of packets including the duplicate of the packet are transmitted to the destination computing node. Upon receiving a first acknowledgement of the packet from the destination computing node, it is determined that the first acknowledgment is directed to a duplicated packet. In response to determining that the first acknowledgment is directed to a duplicated packet, it is determined that a second acknowledgement has yet to be received for each of one or more packets within the plurality of packets transmitted prior to the packet. In response to determining that the second acknowledgement has yet to be received, the one or more packets are retransmitted to the destination computing node.
