  • Patent number: 11800522
    Abstract: Systems and methods of transmitting and receiving combined uplink control information (UCI) in respect of downlink assignments are provided. The UE is configured to combine certain UCI based on a property of downlink assignment, such as PDCCH ID, beam information, CORESET. The UE may also be configured to determine which UCI having the same value of the property of downlink assignment to combine. This can be based on a value-specific monitoring window or a monitoring window that is common to multiple values of the assignment property.

  • Publication number: 20230291456
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that involve the design and use of beam sets for CSI feedback that are customized for to a given environment, for example, a room, a hallway, an outdoor area, an indoor area. This can have the effect of reducing the number of beams within the beam set that are used to represent the downlink channel of a UE in a given environment, with a corresponding reduction in the overhead to feedback CSI. A customized beam set, once determined, is configured on a given UE using signalling. A UE that makes channel measurements on a received reference signal uses the channel measurements to obtain a set of beamforming weights for the customized beam set and sends the weights back to the network as CSI.

  • Patent number: 11569961
    Abstract: Network equipment receives, from a User Equipment (UE), an indication that the network equipment is to transition to sparse reference signaling for the UE, and the network equipment then transmits the sparse reference signaling to the UE. The sparse reference signaling is consistent with a sparse signaling pattern, which is determined at the UE based on previous reference signaling previously transmitted to the UE or another UE. At a UE, the sparse reference signaling is received from network equipment, and channel measurement and prediction are performed based on the received sparse reference signaling.

  • Patent number: 11096176
    Abstract: Network equipment receives, from User Equipment (UE), information indicative of each of multiple UE locations in a wireless communication network. For each location, a respective antenna beam direction for communications between the network equipment and a UE at each location is determined. A Machine Learning (ML) module is trained using each location as an ML module input and the respective antenna beam direction for each location as an ML module output. The trained ML module is then used to provide beam predictions based on UE location. Based on the current location of a UE, one or more antenna beam directions for communications between the network equipment and the UE at the current location are obtained from the ML module. The UE location is input to the ML module, and the antenna beam direction(s) are then obtained from the ML module output(s).

  • Patent number: 10908299
    Abstract: Corrected User Equipment (UE) positioning is based at least in part on signaling that is associated with UE inertial measurements. Such measurements are used in some embodiments to track UE locations along trajectories of UE movement and develop or obtain a model to subsequently predict UE positioning corrections based on channel estimates of a wireless channel. For example, reference signaling may be transmitted by a UE, and the UE then receives positioning corrections or corrected positioning in response to the reference signaling.

  • Patent number: 10897419
    Abstract: A method and apparatus supporting service function chaining in a communication network is provided. Service function chaining requires packets of a service to pass through a defined sequence of service nodes of the network. Traffic engineering support includes defining service segments, determining demands for each service segment, determining flow group conservation constraints using the determined demands, and determining a resource allocation for data links which respects the flow group conservation constraints along with a link capacity constraint. A service-based forwarding operation re-labels packets as they traverse each service segment, and forwards packets toward a destination service node of each service segment.
