  • Patent number: 11272368
    Abstract: A technique controls access to a set of protected resources. The technique involves receiving a location signal which identifies a current geolocation of an endpoint device. The technique further involves, based on the current geolocation identified by the location signal, generating a heat map corresponding to a geographic region that includes the current geolocation of the endpoint device, the heat map defining one or more security zones within the geographic region. The technique further involves, selecting a particular security level from multiple security levels based on a security zone of the heat map associated with the current geolocation of the endpoint device, and communicating the selected security level to the endpoint device. The selected security level is associated with security requirements to be satisfied by the endpoint device in order for the endpoint device to access the set of protected resources.

  • Patent number: 11202272
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for adjusting communication timings of beams (e.g., of beam pair links) within a beam timing advance group (TAG). In some cases, a base station may determine that transmission timing at a UE may be misaligned between multiple beams. The base station may configure a set of beams into a beam TAG, and may send a timing advance (TA) command for the beam TAG. A common timing reference value may be identified based on the TA command. UEs performing uplink transmissions may determine a TA value for the beam TAG based on the common timing reference value, and may adjust a communication timing for one or more of the beams within the beam TAG based at least in part on the common timing reference value and the timing advance value.

  • Patent number: 10952270
    Abstract: In an arrangement where an access node (e.g., a Node-B) is used in dual-connectivity service of UEs that are served by other access nodes, resources of the access node could be dynamically allocated to the UEs based at least on respective priorities designated for the other access nodes. For instance, each other access node could be prioritized based on its type, such as whether it is a macro access node, a small-cell access node, an indoor access node, an access node for a special event, or a access node for dedicated service, among other possibilities, and allocation of resources of the jointly-used access node could be defined based on these priorities, giving higher resource-allocation priority to UEs that are served by a higher priority other access node and giving lower resource-allocation priority to UEs that are served by a lower priority other access node.

  • Patent number: 10911171
    Abstract: A sensor network, which includes a sensor controller serially coupled to a plurality of sensor modules, is configured to program the sensor modules so as to transfer measurement data to the sensor controller and to synchronize the sensor modules to picosecond accuracy via on-chip or on-module custom circuits and a physical layer protocol. The sensor network has applications for use in PET, LiDAR or FLIM applications. Synchronization, within picosecond accuracy, is achieved through use of a picosecond time digitization circuit. Specifically, the picosecond time digitization circuit is used to measure on-chip delays with high accuracy and precision. The delay measurements are directly comparable between separate chips even with voltage and temperature variations between chips.
