Patent number: 11792636Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may perform single frequency network (SFN) manner relaying in sidelink to support exchanging packets between UEs, for example, without maintaining beamforming alignment between the UEs. A first UE (e.g., a source UE or destination UE) may establish a pre-agreement with a second UE for the second UE to operate as an SFN-manner relay over sidelink for the first UE. The pre-agreement may be reached via a publish-and-subscription procedure, in which the second UE publishes an SFN-type relaying service and the first UE subscribes to the SFN-type relaying service. The second UE may receive sidelink signaling associated with the first UE (e.g., transmitted by or to the first UE) and may relay the sidelink signaling in a resource configured for SFN-type transmission based on the first UE being subscribed to the SFN-type relaying service.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: YIsheng Xue, Xiaoxia Zhang, Jing Sun, Chih-Hao Liu, Piyush Gupta, Sony Akkarakaran, Peter Gaal, Juan Montojo

Patent number: 11777558Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an active set management scheme implemented by a scheduler in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network that minimizes capacity and interference issues. For example, the scheduler can initially group each base station into a separate active set. The scheduler can then analyze each active set to determine whether the active set is a good or bad based on the level of interference in and the number of MIMO receive dimensions available in the respective active set. If the scheduler determines that an active set is a bad, the scheduler can determine a set of metrics that each represent a capacity and link quality that would result if the bad active set is combined with another active set. Based on the set of metrics, the scheduler can combine the bad active set with another active set, and repeat this process until no bad active sets remain.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: XCOM Labs, Inc.Inventors: Tamer Adel Kadous, Michael Mingxi Fan
