Patent number: 11234213Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed to propagate announcement and de-announcement of a resource across one or more networks. A first entity, which may be a hosting service capability layer (SCL), may receive a request from an issuer to announce a resource. The first entity may create a representation of the resource. The representation may be referred to as an announced resource. The first entity may send an announce resource request to a second entity (e.g., an announced-to SCL), which may be registered with the first entity. The announce resource request may be sent over an mId interface. The first entity may receive a first response from the second entity over the mId interface indicating that the second entity created the announced resource.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2018Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: IoT Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Guang Lu, Rocco Di Girolamo, Paul L.

Patent number: 10779270Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receives a downlink subframe having multiple component carriers, each component carrier having control information encoded in a physical data control channel (PDCCH). The WTRU performs a blind decoding of control information in a first PDCCH located within a first component carrier to obtain a location of a second PDCCH located within a second component carrier, where the location of the second PDCCH is relative to a location of the first PDCCH as control channel element offset. The WTRU decodes the second PDCCH at the obtained location.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Jung-Lin Pan, Jean-Louis Gauvreau, Guodong Zhang, Philip J.

Patent number: 10764906Abstract: Described herein is a silent period method and apparatus for dynamic spectrum management. The methods include configuration and coordination of silent periods across an aggregated channel in a wireless communication system. A silent period management entity (SPME) dynamically determines silent period schedules for channels based on system and device information and assigns a silent period duration and periodicity for each silent period. The SPME may reconfigure the silent period schedule based on system delay, system throughput, channel quality or channel management events. A silent period interpretation entity (SPIE) receives and implements the silent period schedule. The silent periods for the channels may be synchronized, independent, or set-synchronized.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Martino M.
