  • Publication number: 20220131312
    Abstract: A connection terminal for use with a plug-in terminal includes a terminal body and a tongue. The tongue extends from a first end of the terminal body along an axial direction of the connection terminal and defines a locking element. A first curled portion and a second curled portion are disposed oppositely on two sides of the terminal body. The first curled portion and the second curled portion define at least one first reinforcing rib and at least one second reinforcing rib, and include a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion. A plug-in space is formed between the first and second curled portions and the terminal body for receiving the plug-in terminal. With the plug-in terminal inserted into the plug-in space, the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion abut against the plug-in terminal, and the locking element locks the plug-in terminal within the plug-in space.

  • Publication number: 20220085961
    Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose e.g. a method performed by a wireless device (10) for handling communication for the wireless device in a second wireless communication network. The second wireless communication network coexists with a first wireless communication network on a same bandwidth in frequency, wherein the first wireless communication network applies a first shift in frequency in uplink transmissions. The wireless device receives from a radio network node (12,13), an indication indicating application of a second shift in frequency to uplink transmissions in case the second wireless communication network uses Frequency Division Duplex (FDD). The wireless device further applies the second shift in frequency to uplink transmissions, wherein the second shift defines a shift in frequency to a subcarrier relative to a subcarrier grid of the second wireless communication network or a shift in frequency to the subcarrier grid of the second wireless communication network.

  • Patent number: 11271692
    Abstract: A base station and wireless device are configured to support TDD operation. In exemplary embodiments, the base station or UE can make use of the available symbols in the DwPTS or UpPTS of a special subframe respectively for NB-IoT transmissions. In one example, the base station can use OFDM symbols in the DwPTS to repeat in a predetermined manner some of the symbols transmitted in an immediately preceding downlink subframe, or in a succeeding downlink subframe. In other embodiments, the UE can use symbols in the UpPTS to repeat in a predetermined manner some of the symbols transmitted in the immediately succeeding uplink subframe, or in a preceding uplink subframe. The symbols repeated in the special subframe can be coherently combined at the receiver with corresponding symbols transmitted in a downlink or uplink subframe to improve decoding performance, reduce errors, improve channel estimation, and increase system capacity.
