Delay bounds for scheduling priority and packet discard in an integrated access and backhaul network
Patent number: 11876722Abstract: A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication at an integrated access and backhaul (TAB) node. The TAB node receives a first delay parameter and a second delay parameter associated with a packet, the first delay parameter being associated with a discard determination for the packet and the second delay parameter being associated with scheduling the packet for transmission. The TAB node performs a discard decision for the packet based on the first delay parameter associated or schedules the packet for transmission to a second TAB node or a user equipment (UE) using a second delay parameter associated with the packet. A central unit (CU) of an TAB network may indicate, to an TAB node, the second delay parameter for scheduling a packet and the first delay parameter for determining whether to discard the packet.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jianghong Luo, Karl Georg Hampel, Navid Abedini, Naeem Akl, Tao Luo, Luca Blessent, Junyi Li -

Patent number: 11864176Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques of allocating time resources (or slots) based on a flexible pattern that allows allocation of a set of non-continuous time slots resources in an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) system. In one example, the aggregation pattern may be indicated via a single downlink control information (DCI) message that carries explicit information regarding non-continuous time slot allocation. Features of the present disclosure may also include techniques to allow for early termination of transmission between the first node and the second node when the receiver (e.g., second node) successfully receives the data channel before the end of aggregated transmission. In such situation, the first node and the second node may cease transmission after reception of an acknowledgement (ACK) message that may allow the second node to utilize the subsequent time slots for communication with its own children on the next hop (e.g., third node).Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Navid Abedini, Jianghong Luo, Kapil Gulati, Luca Blessent, Tao Luo, Junyi Li, Wanshi Chen

Patent number: 11838928Abstract: An access node may monitor for uplink and downlink resource release indications signaled by a parent access node and a child access node prior to scheduling a released resource. In some cases (e.g., when the child node is capable of half-duplex communications), the parent access node may determine to release a resource, and the child access node may determine to release a hard resource (e.g., a child node controlled resource). Receiving uplink and downlink resource release indications may enable the access node to schedule communication with the child node via a soft resource (e.g., a parent node controlled resource). Other aspects of the described techniques are directed to feedback support for a slot format indicator (SFI). The feedback from the access node may accept or reject the SFI based on an impact the SFI has on scheduling via a child link established with a child node of the access node.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jianghong Luo, Navid Abedini, Muhammad Nazmul Islam, Luca Blessent, Tao Luo, Junyi Li, Karl Georg Hampel
