Patent number: 11632166Abstract: The disclosure relates in some aspects to enabling a user terminal (UT) to obtain information about nearby cells and any beams generated by nearby cells. For example, a network can send a neighbor cell list to UTs, where the list identifies the cells in that neighborhood and provides information about any beams generated by those cells. Thus, a UT can learn the neighboring beams/cells that the UT can reselect to if the current beam/cell becomes weak. In some aspects, the UE can learn the attitude (e.g., pitch, roll, yaw, or any combination thereof) profile of neighboring satellites as well as the pointing angles and the ON-OFF schedules of their beams. In some aspects, the UT can learn a start angle and a span for a satellite and use this information to identify a satellite the UT can reselect to if the current beam/cell becomes weak.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2017Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Kundan Kumar Lucky, Gene Marsh, Fatih Ulupinar, Dan Vassilovski, Rohit Kapoor, Rajeev Kumar, Faris Rassam

Patent number: 10841001Abstract: A message may be too long to be sent all at once. For example, there may be a limit on the number of bits that can be transmitted by a device operating in a power-save mode. The disclosure relates in some aspects to sending a message over packet boundaries (e.g., several frames or sub-frames). The disclosure relates in some aspects to segmenting a Broadcast Information Block and sending the resulting segments over broadcast information window boundaries. In some aspects, this information may be sent via overhead channels. To facilitate this segmentation, information about the segmentation may be included in the information sent from the transmitter to the receiver. For example, a first segment may indicate the number of segments and subsequent segments may indicate the segment number.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2017Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Kundan Kumar Lucky, Gene Marsh, Fatih Ulupinar, Rohit Kapoor, Rajeev Kumar

Patent number: 8634384Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for determining a link performance parameter, such as a supplemental channel characteristic of a wireless link. In one aspect, a base station receives packets from a client station. The base station determines a link performance parameter based on an error rate associated with reception of the packets. The base station then uses the link performance parameter to determine a modulation and coding scheme for use in transmitting packets to the client station. Related systems, apparatus and methods are also described.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Wi-LAN Inc.Inventor: Gene Marsh
