  • Patent number: 10609725
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a data transmission method of a full-duplex system, a user equipment, and a base station. The UE is allowed to initiate full-duplex transmission, and it is unnecessary for the eNB to initiate full-duplex transmission. Before the initiation, the UE does not need to notify the eNB of buffer and preparation statuses of the UE. That is, the UE does not need to send related signaling to the eNB, thereby alleviating load of an entire LTE communications system, avoiding overload during data transmission, and reducing a transmission delay.

  • Patent number: 10581784
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for generating a user-targeting alert notification based on an existing communication message. The system improves significantly over previous systems by providing more efficient and expeditious user operation. A computing device receives an instruction to generate a user-targeting alert notification based on an existing communication message. In response to determining that a body of the existing message indicates a target user in a designated format, the computing device adds the target user as a recipient of the user-targeting alert notification, generates the notification based on the body of the existing communication message, and sends the notification to the recipient.

  • Publication number: 20200008104
    Abstract: In a method for determining a channel quality indicator (CQI) index, a user equipment (UE) determines quality of a channel between the UE and a base station. The UE sends a first index to the base station based on the quality of the channel. The first index is a CQI index corresponding to an average transmission rate supported by the channel. The UE sends an index difference to the base station based on the quality of the channel. The index difference indicates a difference between the first index and a second index. The second index is a CQI index corresponding to an instant transmission rate supported by the channel. A period for sending the first index is longer than a period for sending the index difference. A quantity of bits occupied by the index difference is less than a quantity of bits occupied by the first index.
