  • Patent number: 11950236
    Abstract: Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards a wireless device (101) and a network node (102, 103, 104, 110, 111, 115), and corresponding methods therein, for prescheduling uplink communications in a wireless network. Such prescheduling is performed prior to the time the uplink communication is needed. According to the example embodiments, the prescheduling is performed with the network node having knowledge of a communication pattern of the wireless device via at least one prescheduling parameter obtained by the network node (the base station, or a core network node), either transmitted by the wireless device or else retrieved by the network node from subscription or historical data. The prescheduling parameter may relate to the application or service that has been activated, and a prescheduling cancellation is sent when it is halted.

  • Patent number: 11937231
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for improving sidelink communication reliability. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may map allocated sidelink resources from a logical domain to a physical domain, where the mapped resources may include greater frequency diversity in the physical domain. A frequency range of a sidelink control channel or of a sidelink data channel may be greater in the physical domain than in the logical domain after the mapping. In some examples, sidelink communications may be associated with an aggregation factor that represents a number of repetitions of a sidelink communication. In this example, a UE may repeat a sidelink communication within a contention-based resource pool a number of times before receiving feedback in order to increase communication reliability. A first UE may communicate a sidelink communication with a second UE using a resource mapping or repetitions of the sidelink communication.

  • Patent number: 11937126
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards adaptive spectrum as a service, in which spectrum can be dynamically allocated to adapt to demand for wireless capacity.

Reallocated spectrum can be monitored for performance, to converge spectrum allocation to a more optimal state. Allocated spectrum can be relocated, increased or decreased, including by the use of citizens band radio service spectrum or other spectrum. Currently allocated spectrum can be adapted into modified allocated spectrum by an application program (xApp) coupled to a radio access network intelligent controller (RIC), a citizens broadband radio service device, a domain proxy service, and/or a user device. A user device can determine and request bandwidth, with spectrum allocated in response.

  • Patent number: 11917675
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station and a user equipment (UE) may perform dynamic rank assignment in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications by leveraging channel reciprocity. For example, the base station and the UE may apply a common algorithm to enable dynamic rank assignment of allocated frequency resources within a communication slot. In some examples, at least one threshold may be utilized to assign different ranks to different frequency resources. Additionally or alternatively, a number of frequency resources assigned a lower rank may be indicated between the base station and the UE in accordance with a joint criteria. Further, dynamic rank assignment may allow the base station and the UE to account for channel fading, improving throughput over the channel without increasing signaling overhead.
