Publication number: 20230179991Abstract: A more efficient over-the-air software push can be facilitated by a firmware over-the-air (FOTA) server device in communication with a home subscriber server (HSS). For example, the FOTA server can host the names of user equipment devices that are due for a FOTA update. When a user equipment device identification is received from the HSS, the FOTA server can then check the user equipment device identification against the names within the server. If the name is found, then the system can send discontinuous reception data to the user equipment device to modify a current discontinuous reception value of the user equipment device. Thus, the modified discontinuous reception value can prompt a long reception time of the user equipment device such that the user equipment device can receive the FOTA.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventor: Darwin Parra-Yepez

Publication number: 20230011614Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards discontinuous reception interval adjustment. User equipment that is designated to employ an adjusted discontinuous reception interval, which is different from an interval used for other user equipment, can be provisioned to employ higher and lower energy states according to the adjusted discontinuous reception interval. The user equipment can be furthermore provisioned to use a designated quality of service class identifier (QCI) in connection with radio access network (RAN) communications. The designated QCI notifies the RAN to adopt the adjusted discontinuous reception interval in connection with user equipment communications, so the RAN can synchronize inbound communications for the user equipment to occur within the user equipment's higher energy states.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2021Publication date: January 12, 2023Inventors: Robert Holden, Darwin Parra, Matthew Robertson

Publication number: 20200366424Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards adaptively selecting a repetition level in wireless communications, based on events to improve coverage range via the repetition level while not unnecessarily reducing throughput. One such event can include a current signal-to-noise-ratio, e.g., as reported in a channel quality indicator report from a user equipment. Another such event can comprise a number of consecutive hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgments or negative acknowledgments (HARQ ACKS/NACKS), in which consecutive ACKs tend to indicate good signal quality, while consecutive NACKs tend to indicate poor signal quality. A combination of channel quality indicator-based adaptive repetition level and HARQ ACK/NACK-based adaptive repetition level can be employed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2020Publication date: November 19, 2020Inventors: Yupeng Jia, Darwin Parra, Prabhakara Aithal, Ping-Chun Hsieh
