Patent number: 11979842Abstract: A method performed by a wireless device for determining a timing advance (TA) offset in a new radio (NR) network is described herein along with associated network devices and systems. An exemplary method includes obtaining an indication of whether a carrier frequency of the NR network coexists with a carrier frequency of a long term evolution (LTE) network, determining, based on whether the carrier frequency of the NR network coexists with carrier frequency of the LTE network, a TA offset for uplink transmission; and transmitting an uplink transmission using the determined TA offset.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Torgny Palenius, Magnus Sandgren, Magnus Larsson, Muhammad Kazmi, Robert Baldemair, Henning Wiemann

Patent number: 11943773Abstract: In New Radio, NR, when a SR PUCCH resource to which a triggered SR is mapped overlaps with a PUCCH carrying UCI, such as HARQ-ACK and/or CSI, an indication of the corresponding schedulingRequestID, which determines the logical channel ID with new data, is directly encoded in the UCI. That is, rather than directly transmit the relevant SR PUCCH resource(s), which indirectly identifies the SR ID, an indication of the SR ID is directly transmitted on the PUCCH transmission. The encoding of an indication of SR ID may comprise adding bits to UCI to be transmitted, for PUCCH formats 2, 3, or 4. For PUCCH format 0, encoding the indication of SR ID comprises adding an initial cyclic offset indicating the triggered SR.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Sorour Falahati, Robert Baldemair, Henning Wiemann

Publication number: 20240057185Abstract: According to an aspect, a UE in an uplink split-bearer configuration is configured to transmit PDUs by a first RLC entity via a first uplink transmission path and/or by a second RLC entity via a second uplink transmission path. The UE determines a total amount of data volume from PDCP data volume and RLC data volume pending for initial transmission in the two RLC entities. The UE decides whether submission of PDCP data volume is allowed to either of the two RLC entities or to only the first RLC entity, based on whether the total amount of data volume meets or exceeds a first threshold. The UE also reports the PDCP data volume to both the first and second uplink transmission paths or only the first uplink transmission path, based on whether the total amount of data volume meets or exceeds a first threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Jose Luis Pradas, Torsten Dudda, Henning Wiemann, Henrik Enbuske

Patent number: 11871218Abstract: Among other things, the method and apparatus examples herein provide a solution to the problems that arise regarding the need for a wireless device to achieve source synchronization in a beam-based system, where the wireless communication network does not define “cells” for connected-mode wireless devices. The problems relate to how a wireless device can re-synchronize with its source access node in a beam-based system that mainly relies on self-contained transmissions from transmission points in the network. As one example advantage, the contemplated methods and apparatus enable wireless devices to perform measurements to support mobility procedures even when no data transmissions are scheduled.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Icaro Leonardo Da Silva, Reza Moosavi, Pradeepa Ramachandra, Henning Wiemann

Patent number: 11818602Abstract: Power headroom reporting and report handling are discussed in the context of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), on which a user equipment (UE) has no valid uplink grant, and a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) on which a UE has no transmission. Under these circumstances, it is not possible to directly calculate one or more parameters which are used to calculate power headroom. Accordingly, exemplary embodiments provide for predetermined, known values to be used by the UE to calculate the power headroom, and by the eNodeB to understand the meaning of a received power headroom report.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Robert Baldemair, Dirk Gerstenberger, Daniel Larsson, Henning Wiemann

Patent number: RE49808Abstract: A mobile station is configured to support handover from a source base station to a target base station. The mobile station receives signaling from the target base station that indicates Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) protocol data units which have been successfully received at the target base station. In response, the mobile station generates further PDCP protocol data units for missing PDCP service data units from corresponding PDCP service data units buffered at the mobile station. The generating comprises using a different header compression state from that which was used for the missing PDCP service data units and ciphering specific to a connection with the target base station. The mobile station transmits the further PDCP protocol data units to the target base station.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Magnus Stattin, Michael Meyer, Janne Peisa, Ghyslain Pelletier, Mats Fredrik Sågfors, Per Johan Torsner, Henning Wiemann
