Publication number: 20230275969Abstract: A wireless User Equipment (UE) hosts a microservice. In the wireless UE, a user interface presents user options to a user and receives user instructions from the user. Communication circuitry wirelessly transfers the user instructions to a microservice control system, and in response, wirelessly receives microservice instructions and a microservice application from the microservice control system. User circuitry in the wireless UE executes the microservice application in an operating system container per the microservice instructions and responsively generates microservice data for a microservice data system. The communication circuitry wirelessly transfers the microservice data to the microservice data system. This hosted microservices platform supports a variety of applications beyond smartphone owner usage. To that end, the smartphone owner may get financially compensated for those extra use cases according to a variety of factors.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2022Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Zheng Fang, Ankit Arvind Muchhala, Herkole Sava, Michael Scott Witherell

Patent number: 11191119Abstract: Disclosed are structures and processes to help enable a wireless communication device (WCD) to support operation in a dual-connectivity scenario, such as where the WCD operates concurrently with 4G and 5G wireless connections over frequency channels in a common frequency band. Downlink low-noise-amplification could be controlled with a split dual-stage arrangement and control communication between modems in the WCD. And uplink maximum-power reduction could be controlled based on an evaluation of the frequency channels used by the respective connections, given knowledge of frequency resources allocated for one of those connections, and with a presumed worst-case-scenario frequency-resource allocation on the other connection.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Herkole Sava, Mike Witherell, Ankit Muchhala, Zheng Fang

Patent number: 10440665Abstract: When a UE is going to engage concurrently in a first transmission on a first channel and a second transmission on a second channel, the UE will apply a level of power-backoff for the first transmission, with the level of power-backoff being dynamically established (i) based on a prediction of what PSD-limited frequency in the nearest IM3 product will have the highest PSD and (ii) based on a mapping between that predicted worst-case frequency to an associated power-backoff value. For instance, considering the IM3 product nearest in frequency to the first transmission, a determination could be made as to what portion of the IM3 product is subject to a PSD limit. And a prediction could be made as to what frequency within that frequency range will have the highest PSD. That predicted worst-case frequency could then be mapped to an associated power-backoff value, and the UE could be configured accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Michael Witherell, Ankit Muchhala, Zheng Fang, Herkole Sava

Patent number: 10129882Abstract: Systems and methods are described for allocating resource blocks based on uplink transmission parameters, resulting in beneficial coverage and capacity of a wireless system. A headroom report that comprises a transmission power headroom for a wireless device may be received. Potential resource block allocations for the wireless device may be generated based on channel information for a plurality of frequency bands, the generated potential resource block allocations comprising a frequency band and a time slot. A potential resource block allocation may be selected from among the potential resource block allocations based on a maximum power reduction for the allocation and the reported transmission power headroom for the wireless device. The selected resource blocks may then be allocated for the wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Herkole Sava, Ankit Muchhala, Michael Witherell

Patent number: 8908571Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating interference between from a first wireless time division duplex (TDD) communications device and a second wireless TDD communications device includes processing quality-indicator reports received from the first TDD device to determine if reception at the first TDD device has experienced interference from the second TDD device. Such interference at the first TDD device may indicate that the first TDD device may also cause interference to reception at the second TDD device. Accordingly, to mitigate the possible interference from the first TDD device, an uplink configuration of the first TDD base station may be adjusted. The adjustment of the uplink configuration may include configuring reception of data packets at the first TDD base station from the first TDD device in accordance with an interference-free time interval, an unprotected time interval, or a specific portion of an associated frequency band.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2011Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Clearwire IP Holdings LLCInventors: Michael Hart, Yang Xu, Peter Gelbman, Herkole Sava

Patent number: 8830985Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating interference between from a wireless time division duplex (TDD) communications device and a wireless frequency division duplex (FDD) communications device includes processing quality-indicator reports received from the FDD device to determine if the FDD device has experienced interference from the TDD device. Such interference may be mitigated by adjusting a downlink configuration of the FDD base station in communication with the FDD device. To detect and mitigate interference from an FDD device to a TDD device, it is determined if a monitored value of an operational parameter of the FDD device is within a fixed range of a maximum value of the operational parameter, and if so, a specific time interval or frequency of the FDD device is assigned for communication purposes. Similar interference detection and mitigation techniques may also be used for interference scenarios between two TDD systems including TDD devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Clearwire IP Holdings LLCInventors: Yang Xu, Michael Hart, Peter Gelbman, Herkole Sava

Patent number: 8406712Abstract: A method implemented in a mobile station (“MS”). When the MS transmits, it generates radio frequency (“RF”) energy. To limit exposure to RF energy, regulatory agencies determined a maximum transmission power for mobile stations. The amount of RF energy considered safe is that generated when the MS is transmitting continuously at the maximum transmission power for a predetermined period. The method first determines whether the maximum transmission power is too low to effect communication between the MS and a base station. If it is, the transmission power is increased and if possible, the data transmission rate of outbound data is reduced to at or below a data rate threshold that reduces the RF energy generated by the mobile station to an amount considered safe. Then, any data having a data transmission rate less than or equal to the data rate threshold is transmitted at the increased transmission power.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2009Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Clearwire IP Holdings LLCInventors: Barry John West, Herkole Sava, Ali Reza Tabassi
