Patent number: 12124446Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for processing a data query from a user device. In an embodiment, a data storage operator receives the data query from the user device. The data storage operator determines that the data query is a snapshot query and the snapshot query does not have a skiptoken. The data storage operator then determines that the snapshot query satisfies snapshot conditions and takes a snapshot based on the snapshot query. The data storage operator stores the snapshot into the snapshot storage and extracts data from a data storage based on the snapshot. The disclosed system enables an intelligent data query by determining whether or not to perform snapshot query. When performing snapshot query, the snapshot is stored in the snapshot storage for future use. In such a case, the data query is efficient and accurate.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Xia Yu, Baolin He, Jie Yao

Patent number: 12127176Abstract: A reduced capacity (redcap) device may perform initial uplink communications, including transmitting a redcap physical uplink control channel (R-PUCCH), over an initial uplink bandwidth part (BWP) shared with a second device, the initial uplink BWP having a bandwidth (BW) larger than a maximum BW supported by the redcap device and smaller than or equal to a maximum BW supported by the second device. Frequency hopping operation for the redcap device may be supported for the R-PUCCH transmission through frequency division multiplexing and/or time division multiplexing settings for the resources used for the R-PUCCH transmission, and for PUCCH transmission by the second device. Restrictions may be implemented to create a gap for redcap devices to perform RF retuning between a physical RACH transmission and a subsequent physical control channel (e.g. PDCCH) monitoring for random access reception when the frequency gap is larger than the maximum BW supported by the redcap device.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2021Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Hong He, Chunxuan Ye, Dawei Zhang, Haitong Sun, Jie Cui, Seyed Ali Akbar Fakoorian, Wei Zeng, Weidong Yang, Yushu Zhang, Chunhai Yao

Multiplexing of uplink control information for operation with multiple transmission-reception points
Patent number: 12113727Abstract: A user equipment (UE) communicates with transmission-reception points (TRPs). When the UE generates uplink control information (UCI), it determines a higher layer index (HLI) value to target the UCI to the appropriate TRP. (Possible values of the HLI are associated with the TRPs.) For UCI on Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), the HLI value may be determined: based on an HLI value configured for a control resource set (CORESET), or for particular Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources; based on UCI type or spatial relation data or an index related to PUCCH resources. For UCI on a configured-grant Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the HLI value may be based on higher layer signals or an indicator relating to channel sounding on spatial relation data. For UCI on MsgA PUSCH in a two-step random access procedure, the HLI value may be based on PUSCH resource unit or PUSCH opportunity.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2023Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yushu Zhang, Dawei Zhang, Haijing Hu, Wei Zeng, Yang Tang, Haitong Sun, Yuchul Kim, Hong He, Chunhai Yao, Chunxuan Ye, Weidong Yang, Oghenekome Oteri, Jie Cui, Fangli Xu, Yuqin Chen -
Patent number: 12113737Abstract: Methods to enhance the coverage of NR systems for coverage-limited wireless devices are disclosed. A serving base station may configure a coverage-limited UE with parameters for the UE to operate in a coverage enhancement mode through RRC signaling, DCI, or RAR grant. The UE may use the configuration parameters to determine whether to enter into the coverage enhancement mode when connecting and communicating with the serving base station. The configuration parameters may configure the UE to exploit both time diversity and frequency diversity to extend and enhance coverage when receiving the PDSCH and PDCCH channels, when transmitting the PUSCH and PUCCH channel, and when transmitting PUSCH Msg3 during random access. Advantageously, the base station may flexibly and dynamically configure the UE with coverage enhancement parameters to extend the coverage of the UE using time diversity and frequency diversity gains as the UE moves around.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2020Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Chunhai Yao, Chunxuan Ye, Dawei Zhang, Fangli Xu, Haijing Hu, Haitong Sun, Hong He, Jie Cui, Oghenekome Oteri, Shu Guo, Wei Zeng, Weidong Yang, Yang Tang, Yuchul Kim, Yuqin Chen, Yushu Zhang
