  • Patent number: 11832205
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify that an uplink transmission to a base station is to occur in accordance with an uplink timing advance value representing an amount of time that the uplink transmission takes from transmission at the UE to reception at the base station. The UE may perform an autonomous open-loop adjustment to the uplink timing advance value. The UE may transmit the uplink transmission to the base station in accordance with the adjusted uplink timing advance value. The base station may transmit an indication of a set of uplink timing advance values for a UE to use for uplink transmissions, each of the set of uplink timing advance values representing an amount of time that an uplink transmission is expected to take from transmission at the UE to reception at the base station.

  • Patent number: 11831743
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to packet header field extraction as defined by a high level language and implemented in a minimum number of hardware streaming parsing stages to speculatively extract header fields from among multiple possible header sequences. In an illustrative example, the number of stages may be determined from the longest possible header sequence in any received packet. For each possible header sequence, one or more headers may be assigned to each stage, for example, based on a parse graph. Each pipelined stage may resolve a correct header sequence, for example, by sequentially extracting length and transition information from an adjacent prior stage to determine offset of the next header. By speculatively extracting selected fields from every possible position in each pipeline stage, a correct value may be selected using sequential hardware streaming pipelines to substantially reduce parsing latency.

  • Patent number: 11785545
    Abstract: Methods related to an inactive state of a user equipment (UE). In one example, when an amount of data in an uplink buffer is less than a threshold, the data is sent to the network while remaining in the inactive state. In another example, when reselecting to a different cell, the UE attempts to reselect to the different cell and remain in the inactive state. When transitioning to a connected state at the reselected cell, the UE sends a resume request including an identification of the first cell. In another example, when a high priority or a background PLMN search is performed in the inactive state, the results are cached and implemented the earlier of when a timer expires or the UE enters an idle state. In another example, a cell reselection criteria is altered in the inactive state to make it less likely that a cell reselection will occur.
