Publication number: 20220159720Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to mechanism for transmission for wideband system in unlicensed spectrum. According to embodiments of the present application, a transmission coordination mechanism is proposed to facilitate transmission in a wideband system. The network device may puncture on-going transmission on neighbor bands to ensure no power leakage to the band with later transmission. In this way, it can minimize the in-device power leakage issue when the network device performs LBT for later transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2019Publication date: May 19, 2022Applicant: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Tao TAO, Jianguo LIU, Yan MENG, Mark MARSAN

Patent number: 10342060Abstract: In a communication system where a primary cell is controlled by a first base station and a secondary cell is controlled by a second, different base station, flow control is performed between the primary cell and the secondary cell for data for a radio link control layer. According to the flow control, the data for the radio link control layer is communicated between the first and second base stations using a link between the first and second base stations. Flow control may be performed between the primary cell and the secondary cell by dynamically controlling a depth of queued radio link control data in the secondary cell for one or more UEs based on one or more factors, e.g., current/future loading of secondary cell, peak theoretical throughput for a UE in the secondary cell, and/or a UE's current channel quality information. Apparatus, methods, and computer program products are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Subramanian S. Iyer, Mark Marsan, Kirk Ingemunson, Apurv Mathur

Publication number: 20060105797Abstract: A bandwidth monitor (14) monitors (21) the bandwidth of a transmission channel for a given wireless communication device (10), and a signal quality factor monitor (15) monitors (22) a signal quality factor relating to the wireless communication device's transmission. In response to the monitored factors, a transmission power setting unit (13) for the wireless communication device transceiver (12) typically adjusts (32) the transmission power for the wireless communication device (10) to maintain an essentially constant transmission power per unit bandwidth and to maintain an essentially constant signal strength as measured at the base station (11). Optionally, the transmission power is not increased if the signal quality factor exceeds a predetermined level or if the transmission power may fluctuate above the maximum transmission power for the wireless communication device (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2004Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Mark Marsan, David Hensley

Publication number: 20060058033Abstract: A data packet transmission monitor (15) monitors the transmission of data packets in a given wireless communication system to determine (20) a predetermined condition. In response to determining the predetermined condition, the transceiver (14) for the base station (13) automatically sends (21) a signal to one or more wireless communication units (10) to cause the units (10) to make neighbor cell measurements. Optionally, the base station (13) sends such a signal when no data packets are to be sent by the base station (13). In another embodiment, the data packet transmission monitor (15) tracks (50) the transmission of data packets and determines (51) whether the transmissions allow for a certain number of neighbor cell measurements. If a certain number of neighbor cell measurements are not allowed, a signal is automatically sent (21) to the wireless communication unit (10) to make one or more neighbor cell measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2004Publication date: March 16, 2006Inventors: Mark Marsan, Bruce Drawert, Larry Hemenway

Patent number: 6873614Abstract: A time division multiple access communication system is provided having multiple sub-channels according to known quadrature amplitude modulation techniques. Each sub-channel has a pre-determined time duration and is divided by a pre-determined number of symbol position time divisions. The symbol positions carry sync, pilot and data symbols. Color code information is incorporated into the sync and pilot symbols. The QAM constellation value of the sync symbol is mapped to a color code value. In addition, the sync symbol carries a color code extension which enlarges the color code space.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2002Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Michael N. Kloos, Michael S. Palac, Mark Marsan
