  • Patent number: 11323192
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an adaptive modulation method for a naive Bayes classifier-based energy harvesting relay system. First, a sending end determines its modulation mode based on a status of a data buffer of a relay, so that sent data does not exceed a storage capability of the relay. Then, based on data sent by the sending end, and channel status information and energy harvesting status information within a period of time, the relay determines an optimal modulation mode used by the relay within the period of time. After that, the modulation mode, the channel status information, and the energy harvesting status information are used as training data to obtain a classification model based on a naive Bayes classifier algorithm. In this way, the relay can adaptively select a modulation mode when only knowing of channel information and energy information in a current timeslot.

  • Patent number: 11251923
    Abstract: Systems, methods, computer-readable medium, and apparatus are disclosed that allow for control information to be provided in an efficient manner during short burst transmission. For example, an apparatus may be configured to receive downlink control information (DCI) that indicates an allocated resource from a base station. The apparatus may also receive data from the base station. The apparatus may generate a cyclically shifted sequence that corresponds to a sequence that is cyclically shifted based on at least one of an ACK or NACK for the received data and a SR. The apparatus may then transmit the cyclically shifted sequence in the allocated resource within one symbol period of a slot of a subframe to the base station. Thus, by transmitting the SR and the ACK/NACK in one symbol, control information for short burst transmissions can be provided in a more temporally efficient manner without adding excessive complexity to the UE.

  • Patent number: 11246114
    Abstract: Selection of time-frequency resources, for autonomous mode operation of V2V UEs, may be performed based on measurements of power transmitted by other UEs and received sidelink control information (SCI) transmitted by the other UEs. Based on these measurements, the UE may selectively exclude spectrum resources, from the set of possible resources, to obtain a final set of resources from which the UE may select resources to use for transmitting. In some implementations, the exclusion of the resources may be based on an iterative operation in which a power threshold value is incrementally modified until a candidate number of resources are available. Additionally, in some implementations, UE priority assignments may be used to obtain the power threshold value for a particular UE.
