  • Patent number: 10779249
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method is implemented by a first Radio Network Controller (RNC). The first RNC determines a communication link delay of a base station supported by the first RNC. Subsequent to the determining, a request is received from a different, second RNC to add a call leg that includes the base station as a call leg for a call supported by the second RNC. Based on the request, the first RNC transmits a response to the second RNC that indicates the determined communication link delay. According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the second RNC uses the response to perform transport channel synchronization.

  • Patent number: 10743139
    Abstract: A wireless system device is a device to be mounted on a vehicle. The wireless system device includes a wireless communication unit, a condition detector, a position obtainer, and an operation controller. The wireless communication unit transmits a radio signal. The condition detector detects a first timing and a second timing. The first timing is a timing when the vehicle shifts from an operation state to a stop state. The second timing is a timing when the vehicle shifts from the stop state to the operation state for a first time after the first timing. The position obtainer obtains a first position and a second position. The first position and the second position are positions where the vehicle is at the first timing and the second timing, respectively. The operation controller controls operation of the wireless communication unit based on a distance between the first position and the second position.

  • Patent number: 10742360
    Abstract: Techniques and examples of layer mapping, channel state information (CSI) feedback and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback in mobile communications are described. A user equipment (UE) receives from a base station one or more reference signals, which may be non-zero power (NZP) or zero power (ZP), on one or more time-frequency resources indicated by a network via a communication link between the UE and the base station. The UE estimates, based on the receiving, a subspace spanned by a channel response of an interfering signal. The UE determines a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) based on the estimated subspace. The UE transmits to the base station a channel state information (CSI) feedback comprising at least the PMI. The PMI may include at least a first precoder and a second precoder.

  • Patent number: 10715287
    Abstract: In a base station, a control unit and a data size regulation unit control the data size of downstream assignment control data and upstream assignment control data in the PDCCH signal based on the communication format used between the base station and a terminal, the number of base station antennas (M) (nonnegative number), the number of terminal antennas (N) (nonnegative number), the bandwidth of the downstream band, and the bandwidth of the upstream band. Specifically, the control unit determines it is unnecessary to adjust the aforementioned data size when the selected communication format is first established between multiple antennas and when where there are multiple for one of M and N and only one for the other. The quality of downstream assignment control data is prevented from degrading, while preventing the number of blind determinations from increasing on the receiving side of the downstream control channel signal.

  • Patent number: 10716022
    Abstract: Systems and methods for calculating uplink pathloss in a wireless local area network are provided. Uplink pathloss between an access point and client device operating in the wireless local area network can be calculated based on determining an effective maximum transmit power. Based on the effective maximum transmit power, and known uplink power headroom, a current transmit power of the client device can be determined. Based on the current transmit power of the client device, uplink pathloss can be determined. If the operating conditions and/or characteristics of the client device and/or wireless local area network change, the uplink pathloss may be re-evaluated.

  • Patent number: 10708148
    Abstract: Many services measure quality of service (QoS) according to abstract metrics based on general heuristics of QoS determinants (e.g., VoIP service providers may presume that QoS is predominantly determined by network performance). However, users' QoS perceptions are often based on their experiences with particular activities of the service, which may utilize different service paths having different QoS determinants. Therefore, QoS may be measured by identifying the activities of the service, and the dependencies among the components of such services; for respective activities and dependencies, identifying a service path from the source to the user, and the segments comprising the service path; measuring the quality of the segments of the service path; and calculating the QoS of the activity according to the QoS of the segments of the service path providing the activity. This approach may yield QoS information of greater relevance to the users' experience and with greater analytic value.

  • Patent number: 10708170
    Abstract: A request for a chunk of data is received from an application executing on a remote device. The chunk of data is split into a plurality of packets including a first packet and a second packet. A first sub-flow is selected to transport the first packet to the remote device and a second sub-flow is selected to transport the second packet. The first sub-flow is decoupled from the second sub-flow. A first stop time is selected for the first sub-flow and a second stop time is selected for the second sub-flow. The first stop time determines when the first sub-flow will complete at the remote device and the second stop time determines when the second sub-flow will complete at the remote device. The first stop time and the second stop time are selected so that the first sub-flow and the second sub-flow will complete simultaneously at the remote device.
