Patent number: 11968535Abstract: The present disclosure relate to a method performed by a UE (102) for handling an invalid SI signature in a communication system. The UE obtains SI and an associated SI signature for a cell. The UE (102) determines if the obtained SI signature is valid or invalid. If the signature is valid, the UE (102) determines to use the cell. If the SI signature is invalid, the UE (102) determines if the UE (102) is configured to bar cells or not. If the SI signature is invalid and if the UE (102) is not configured to bar cells with invalid SI signature, the UE (102) determines to use the cell. If the SI signature is invalid and the UE (102) is configured to bar cells with invalid SI signature, the UE (102) determines to bar the cell and select another cell to use.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2020Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Oscar Ohlsson, Prajwol Kumar Nakarmi, Icaro Leonardo Da Silva

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
