  • Patent number: 11064460
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for wireless communication. The UE receives a first signaling for indicating a first time-frequency resource pool and a first spatial parameter group and a second signaling for indicating a second spatial parameter group in turn, the first spatial parameter group being associated to the first time-frequency resource pool including a first time-frequency resource set; the UE judges whether the first time-frequency resource set can transmit a radio signal; if so, the UE transmits a first radio signal in the first time-frequency resource set; otherwise, the UE gives up transmitting a radio signal in the first time-frequency resource set; the first spatial parameter group and the second spatial parameter group judge whether the first time-frequency resource set can transmit a radio signal.

  • Patent number: 11038748
    Abstract: A multi-lane communication interface is provided for use in a link, such as SpaceFibre used on-board spacecraft. The interface has logic, when operating at a near end in cooperation with a far-end multi-lane communication interface, to: establish symbol synchronisation with the far-end over one or more lanes; send and receive data words to and from the far-end while maintaining the symbol synchronisation (A); detect a change in lane status; and upon detection of the change in lane status and while maintaining the symbol synchronisation: stop sending (B) data words; send (B) near-end lane-status control words to the far end instead of data words, until it is determined that the near end is ready to send data words, then resume sending (C) data words; and send (C) near-end lane-alignment signals to the far end, until a data word is received from the far end.

  • Patent number: 11026236
    Abstract: A more efficient over-the-air software push can be facilitated by leveraging a smart scheduling system for vehicles. The smart scheduling system can use location and network capacity data to prioritize over-the-air software pushes for vehicles. For instance, a vehicle, which is only operational during off-peak wireless network hours can receive a software push during the off-peak times because wireless network capacity is not an issue. However, vehicles, which are used primarily during heavy peak wireless network times can receive software in a prioritized manner based on location data, frequency of use, network capacity, etc.

  • Patent number: 11012250
    Abstract: A gateway device and a configuration client for supporting selective forwarding of messages published to a group address or a virtual address in a wireless mesh network of communicatively coupled communication devices, such as a Bluetooth Mesh system. The configuration client maintains a mapping between unicast addresses of communication devices and group and virtual addresses in the network. At receipt of a message including a group or virtual address, the gateway device retrieves, from the configuration client, the unicast addresses of those communication devices collectively identified by the group or virtual address in the received message. If the retrieved unicast addresses are all serviced by the gateway device, the message is transmitted by the gateway device on all interfaces corresponding to the communication devices addressed by the retrieved unicast addresses.

  • Patent number: 10972399
    Abstract: A method of determining a passive Round Trip Time, RTT, delay in a telecommunications system for exchanging data packets in accordance with a data transmission protocol between a first device and a second device. The first and second devices are identified by first and second device identifications, respectively. The data packets include an address part including a source address and a destination address. The method is performed in a node by modifying the address part of a received data packet from the first device, and creating a first timestamp before transmitting the modified data packet to the second device. Upon receiving, at the node, from the second device in response to the modified data packet, a data packet having the modified address part of the modified data packet, the node creates a second timestamp that provides for passively measuring the RTT delay.
