  • Publication number: 20250261082
    Abstract: A wireless relay communication apparatus is operated and is adapted to exclusively communicate over a second wireless communication channel, which is incompatible in at least one property, aspect, or parameter, with a first wireless communication channel. A message indicating a capacity to act as a relay in the second communication channel is transmitted over the second wireless communication channel. A transmission, received over the second communication channel from a source communication apparatus, includes information enabling the relay communication apparatus to determine that the transmission is to be relayed to a destination communication apparatus. Accordingly, the relay communication apparatus relays the transmission to the destination communication apparatus over the second communication channel.

  • Publication number: 20250247821
    Abstract: A first communication apparatus of a radio access network transmits paging messages to one or more second communication apparatus in accordance with a paging scheme. The one or more second communication apparatus configure their receivers to be enabled accordingly, while remaining in an operating mode in which they are not fully connected to the first communication apparatus. Small data transmissions may be transmitted from the first to the one or more second communication apparatus after appropriately configuring the receivers of the one or more second communication apparatus to be enabled, while remaining in the operating mode in which they are not fully connected to the first communication apparatus. The required configuration information, in particular times for aperiodic transmissions and/or radio resources used for transmitting and/or the indication for the end of the aperiodic transmission, is transmitted by the first communication apparatus in a paging message.

  • Patent number: 12107706
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of estimating transmit symbol vectors transmitted in an overloaded communication channel includes receiving a signal represented by a received signal vector, the received signal vector corresponding to a superposition of signals representing transmitted symbols selected from a constellation of symbols and transmitted from one or more transmitters. Continuous first and second functions in a search space in a convex domain are defined. The first function and the second function are combined into a third function, and a fractional programming algorithm is applied to the third function, targeted to finding an input vector that minimizes the third function. A mapping rule translates the found input vector into an estimated transmit symbol vector, and the estimated transmit symbol vector is output to a decoder for decoding into an estimated transmit symbol from the constellation.
