  • Patent number: 12363786
    Abstract: A network node in a wireless network sends a selected BWP toward a UE, the selected BWP to be used by the UE during a connection procedure used to connect the UE to the wireless network after the UE enters an idle or inactive state. The selected BWP is different from an initial BWP that would have been used by the UE during the connection procedure. The network node receives from the user equipment a message for connection to the wireless network using the selected BWP. The UE receives the selected BWP and uses the selected BWP to send, while in one of an idle state or an inactive state, a message for connection to the wireless network using the selected BWP (e.g., and not the initial BWP).

  • Patent number: 12167342
    Abstract: A UE, communicating with a network node by using TDD, determines a downlink/uplink configuration between the UE and the network node, and a maximum uplink duty cycle for candidate uplink transmit beam(s). The UE compares the maximum uplink duty cycle with an uplink duty cycle of the determined downlink/uplink configuration, and provides to the network node information associated with the comparison. The network node receives the information associated with the comparison and determines whether to modify the downlink/uplink configuration between the user equipment and the network node based on the information associated with the comparison. The network node indicates, in response to a determination the downlink/uplink configuration should be modified, a modified downlink/uplink configuration to the user equipment.
