  • Patent number: 12200599
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. During an operation for discovering reconfigurable surfaces, a sensing signal may be transmitted. Based on the sensing signal being transmitted, another signal may be detected at the device that transmitted the sensing signal, another device, or both. The device that detects the signal may combine the detected signal with a modulation sequence that is associated with a reconfigurable surface, where the reconfigurable surface may be assigned a set of unique modulation sequences and configured to apply a modulation sequence to received signals. Based on combining the detected signal with the modulation sequence, the device may determine whether the reconfigurable surface is present within a geographic region.

  • Patent number: 12167269
    Abstract: Techniques for measuring and reducing signal misalignment in a dual connectivity environment are discussed herein. When using Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA), a device initially communicates with a network using a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connection. After the LTE connection is established, an LTE base station may instruct the device to measure signal strength of a neighboring New Radio (NR) cell during a specified LTE measurement gap. When the NR cell is implemented by an indoor NR base station, the NR signal may not be sufficiently synchronized with the LTE signal and the device may be unable to measure the NR signal during the measurement gap. In these cases, the device can determine the frame timing difference between the LTE and NR signals, obtain an adjusted measurement gap that reduces any measurement gap misalignment, and attempt to measure the signal strength of the NR cell using the adjusted measurement gap.

  • Patent number: 12160820
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some systems, a network entity may adjust a backoff power level for communications by the network entity in a first cell supported by the network entity. The network entity may transmit signaling that indicates an estimated level of interference in a second cell supported by a neighboring network entity based on the adjusted backoff power level. The network entity may receive a feedback message from the neighboring network entity that indicates downlink interference measurements by one or more UEs operating within the second cell. In some examples, the feedback message may indicate a difference in interference measurements obtained by the UEs before and after the backoff power level is adjusted by the network entity. The network entity may further adjust or maintain the backoff power level based on the feedback received from the neighboring network entity.
