Patent number: 11375548Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for physical random access channel (PRACH) access. A WTRU transmits a message to a gNB. The message includes a PRACH preamble from a first set. The method also includes performing a hidden node detection procedure prior to a random access response (RAR) window. The RAR window corresponds to the transmitted message. The method also includes attempting to receive a RAR in response to the transmitted message, during the RAR window. The method also includes retransmitting the message to the gNB, including a PRACH preamble from a second set, if the RAR is not received during the RAR window and a hidden node is detected; and retransmitting the message to the gNB, including a PRACH preamble from the first set, if the RAR is not received during the RAR window and the hidden node is not detected.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: IDAC Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Jung-Lin Pan, Fengjun Xi

Patent number: 11374644Abstract: A WTRU may include a memory and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive beam grouping information from a gNB or transmission and reception point (TRP). The beam grouping information may indicate a group of beams that the WTRU may report using group-based reporting. The group-based reporting may be a reduced level of reporting compared to a beam-based reporting. The group-based report may include measurement information for a representative beam. The representative beam may be one of the beams in the group or represents an average of the beams in the group. Alternatively, the representative beam may be a beam that has a maximum measurement value compared to other beams in the group. The group-based report may include a reference signal received power (RSRP) for the representative beam and a differential RSRP for each additional beam in the beam group.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: IDAC HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Kyle Jung-Lin Pan, Fengjun Xi, Afshin Haghighat, Oghenekome Oteri, Chunxuan Ye, Frank La Sita, Robert L.

Patent number: 11356202Abstract: A method for transmitting system information on a PBCH is described herein. A transmission/reception point (TRP) may generate a concatenated master information block (MIB) transport block that includes information bits associated with system bandwidth information, timing information, system frame number (SFN), a beam sweeping configuration, and a control resource set (CORESET). The TRP may then attach at least 16 cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits to the concatenated MIB and then prioritize the concatenated MIB and the at least 16 CRC bits based on content. The TRP may then perform channel coding of the prioritized concatenated MIB and the at least 16 CRC bits to produce coded bits using at least one polar encoder with a coding rate that is less than ?, perform rate matching via repetition on the coded bits, and then transmit the rate matched, coded bits on the PBCH of a radio frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2017Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: IDAC Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Jung-Lin Pan, Fengjun Xi, Robert L.
