  • Publication number: 20220379362
    Abstract: A method for precision forming by continuous free bending starts with establishing a correlation equation of a continuous axis f(x) to a bending radius R and determining a bending radius R at a real-time location in the axis. Based on the free bending technique, the method further involves establishing a correlation model of a real-time bending radius R of a tube to an eccentric distance U of a bending die and hence correlations of the equation of the axis to free bending parameters, and constructing a complete correlation model among f(x), R, U, and t based on a relational equation of an eccentric distance U to movement time t of the bending die to enable the precision forming of a complex component by continuous bending. Accordingly, the production efficiency can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11418456
    Abstract: A voice coding rate is selected for a voice call involving a user equipment (UE) device based on an air interface efficiency of the base station serving the UE device. The air interface efficiency of the base station is determined based on at least one of (i) a beamforming capability of the base station, (ii) a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) capability of the base station, or (iii) an antenna configuration of the base station. The voice coding rate could be selected by either the UE device or by the base station. The UE device transmits to the base station during the voice call one or more voice frames that convey voice data coded at the selected voice coding rate. During the voice call, a new air interface efficiency may be determined, and a new voice coding rate may be selected based on the new air interface efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11357004
    Abstract: A method and system for managing carriers on which a base station provides service to a user equipment device (UE), based on consideration of latency. A base station that is arranged to operate on a plurality of carriers may, while serving a UE on a set of one or more carriers of the plurality, select, from at least two other carriers of the plurality, an additional carrier to add to the set of one or more carriers on which the base station serves the UE, and may make the selection based a latency on the selected carrier. In response to selecting the additional carrier, the base station may add the selected carrier to the set of one or more carriers on which the base station serves the UE, and may then serve the UE on the set of one or more carriers including the selected carrier.

  • Patent number: 11343832
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for transmitting a beamformed signal to a wireless device proximate to an antenna system. An uplink signal may be received at an access node from a wireless device in communication with the access node. It may be detected that the wireless device is proximate to an antenna system, wherein the antenna system does not comprise the access node. The detection may be based on a determined location for the wireless device, an indication from the antenna system, a retrieved signal level metric for the wireless device, and the like. It may be then determined that a beamformed signal is to be transmitted to the wireless device based on the detecting. And the beamformed signal may be transmitted from the access node to the wireless device.
