  • Patent number: 11589250
    Abstract: Methods and systems for citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) interference management using dual subscriber identification module (SIM) devices are described. The method includes assigning a physical cell identity (PCI) to each CBRS device (CBSD) granted unlicensed spectrum by a spectrum access system (SAS). Each spectrum granted CBSD may exchange PCIs with neighbor spectrum granted CBSDs to resolve PCIs and maintains a PCI table. A dual SIM device may be connected to a CBSD via a first SIM. Each spectrum granted CBSD having a connected dual SIM device reports a number of PCIs detected by the dual SIM device(s). A SAS designated dual SIM device may use a second SIM to measure power values of PCIs detected by the designated dual SIM device which are absent from a provided PCI table. The measured power values may be used by the SAS to make cluster interference decisions.

  • Patent number: 11563514
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a network may schedule a user equipment (UE) for multiple transmission/reception point (TRP) communication. The network may transmit a single downlink control information (DCI) message to the UE to dynamically configure multiple transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for the multiple TRPs. In a first example, the DCI message may include a bit field indicating a set of antenna ports and the multi-TRP scheme for transmission. In a second example, the DCI message may include a separate field indicating the multi-TRP scheme (e.g., based on UE capabilities). In a third example, the DCI may indicate redundancy versions (RVs) for different TRPs in an RV field or across multiple fields. In a fourth example, the DCI may include an indication of a precoding resource block group (PRG) size that may be interpreted differently based on the indicated multi-TRP scheme.

  • Patent number: 11522801
    Abstract: A first node provides a time function to a second node. The first node generates a time function protocol data unit required for supporting the time function and generates a plurality of preamble protocol data units. The plurality of preamble protocol data units are sent before the time function protocol data unit. The preamble protocol data units carry routing information to cause the preamble protocol data units to follow a same network path as the time function protocol data unit. At an intermediate node the plurality of preamble protocol data units, the time function protocol data unit and other data traffic are stored in queues of different priority level. The intermediate node controls a time order of forwarding based on priority levels of the queues.

  • Patent number: 11516810
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and devices for a user equipment device (UE) to perform band measurements and provide a pruned measurement report to a base station. A first connection is established between the UE and a base station, and a configuration message is received from the base station. The configuration message identifies a plurality of bands for which the UE is to provide measurement reporting. The UE determines whether a band combination of the plurality of bands has an aggregate bandwidth that is greater than the aggregate bandwidth of the first connection and whether a signal quality metric of the determined band combination is greater than a predetermined threshold. Responsive to these determinations, the UE performs band measurements on the bands of the band combination and transmits a pruned measurement report to the base station.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for proactive wake-up beam management for connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) operation. For example, a user equipment (UE) monitor one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) or reference signals received associated with a set of wake-up beams from a network entity. The UE may further determine that the set of wake-up beams satisfies a distress condition. The UE may additionally transmit a distress indication to the network entity based on determining that the set of wake-up beams satisfies the distress condition. Aspects described herein also provide a network entity that receives a distress indication from the UE in response to transmitting a set of wake-up beams and transmits a subsequent set of wake-up beams having at least one wake-up beam different not included in the set of wake-up beams to the UE.

  • Patent number: 11469783
    Abstract: Example systems and methods of a wireless device use a signal attribute detector to determine a signal attribute value associated with a first frame received via a first antenna. Media access control (MAC) logic can detect that the first frame indicates an acknowledgement (ACK) of a second frame transmitted by the wireless device. Responsive to the detection of the ACK by the MAC logic, an antenna evaluator uses the signal attribute value to select one of the first antenna and the second antenna to transmit or receive a third frame.

  • Patent number: 11432188
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and a base station may communicate medium access control (MAC) protocol data units (PDUs). The UE and base station may use a set of decoding conditions, or a decoding configuration, to identify a set of code block groups (CBGs) within a packet that include MAC-control elements (CEs). For example, the decoding configuration may indicate a fixed set of CBGs which contain the MAC-CEs within a MAC PDU. In another example, the configuration may specify a limit on the number and/or size of the MAC-CEs within each MAC PDU packet. In any case, the decoding configuration may provide rules known by both transmitting and receiving devices for identifying and decoding CBGs that include MAC-CEs such that MAC-CE information may be applied by the receiving wireless device.
