  • FIRST NODE, SECOND NODE, THIRD NODE, AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY FOR HANDLING RETRANSMISSIONS OF MESSAGES
    Publication number: 20230155734
    Abstract: A method performed by a first node. The first node operates in a communications network. The first node receives, from a second node operating in the communications network, an indication. The indication acknowledges receipt, by the second node or a fourth node operating in the communications network, of a message sent by the first node to a third node operating in the communications network. The first node refrains, before going into sleep mode, from waiting to receive from the third node one of: a) an acknowledgement of receipt of the sent message, and b) a request for retransmission of the sent message. The refraining is based on the received indication.

  • Methods for compression and decompression of headers of internet protocol packets, devices, computer programs and computer program products
    Patent number: 11323914
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods for decompression of headers of received Internet Protocol (IP) packets, such as by a device. Such methods include receiving a single transmission unit that includes a bitmap comprising a plurality of bits, and an aggregation of a first IP packet and a reference IP packet. Each bit in the bitmap indicates whether a corresponding header information element, of a header of the first IP packet, is redundant or non-redundant with respect to a corresponding header information element of a header of the reference IP packet. Such methods include reconstructing the header of the first IP packet based on the header of the reference IP packet and on the bitmap, and decompressing the header of the first IP packet. Other embodiments include devices configured to perform operations corresponding to such methods, and computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that embody such methods.

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SCHEDULING RESOURCES IN A TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220039102
    Abstract: Scheduling requests are transmitted from a mobile terminal to a base station. The mobile sends a first scheduling request to the base station, the first scheduling request being associated with first data to be transmitted to the base station. The mobile receives a scheduling grant from the base station in response to the first scheduling request and transmits a buffer status report to the base station in response to receiving the scheduling grant. An HARQ acknowledgment for the buffer status report is received. Second data is received for transmission to the base station while at least some of the first data is waiting to be transmitted to the base station. A change in a buffer status of the mobile terminal is detected indicating that the second data has higher priority than the first data. The mobile transmits a second subsequent scheduling request to the base station in response to the change in buffer status.

  • Communications device and methods therein for providing an improved channel access procedure
    Patent number: 10841951
    Abstract: A communications device (304) and a method for providing an improved channel access procedure for transmission of data. The communications device and an Access Point (AP) (302) are operating in a wireless communications network (300). The communications device performs a channel sensing procedure using a second slot counter Bn, which second slot counter is equal to a random backoff value or a first slot counter Sn. When trigger frame is received from the AP during the channel sensing procedure, which trigger frame triggers access to a channel, the communications device sets the first slot counter equal to the second slot counter and transmits the data to the AP on the channel. The communications device sets the first slot counter equal to a preset value and transmits the data to the AP in the absence of a received trigger frame and when the channel sensing procedure is completed.
