Patent number: 12395274Abstract: A wireless communication device is described. The wireless communication device includes a memory and a processor in electronic communication with the memory. The processor is configured to determine a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packet count corresponding to a last radio link control (RLC) packet received in-sequence. The processor is also configured to detect a missing PDCP packet based on a comparison of the PDCP packet count and a sequence number of a last PDCP packet received in-sequence.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 19, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Karthik Thirukannan, Arun Prasanth Balasubramanian, Jason Tan, Shailesh Maheshwari, Ankur Srivastava, Mohammad Ashraf, Rahul Maringanti, Tom Chin

Patent number: 12376191Abstract: Methods and apparatus to handle unordered signaling radio bearer (SRB) packets are disclosed. In some aspects, the apparatus may be a user equipment (UE) or a base station. The apparatus may receive a signaling radio bearer (SRB) packet, buffer it in a radio link control (RLC)-to-Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) reordering window, and selectively forward or discard the SRB packet based upon a reordering timer with a first expiration period that is greater than a second expiration period associated with a data radio bearer (DRB) reordering timer, to give the apparatus extra time to receive a missing SRB packet while maintaining a shorter latency for DRB packets. In some aspects, the apparatus may detect an out-of-order (OOO) SRB packet and request retransmission without waiting for a sending communications device to check on receive status.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2020Date of Patent: July 29, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ansah Ahmed Sheik, Mohammad Ashraf

Publication number: 20250193733Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive information identifying a recovery time associated with packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) communication using a reordering timer, wherein a distribution of recovered PDCP counts associated with the PDCP communication is associated with a configured characteristic for a packet recovery time. The UE may communicate on a link using a communication configuration associated with a correlation between the packet recovery time and a link characteristic. Numerous other aspects are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2025Publication date: June 12, 2025Inventors: Mohammad ASHRAF, Ankur SRIVASTAVA, Rahul MARINGANTI, Anushka NAYSE, Vivek BINDAL

Publication number: 20240267189Abstract: Aspects are provided allowing a MSIM UE to transmit a controlled pattern of fake HARQ-ACK and a controlled RLC status report in response to un-decoded data transmissions from a base station, while suspending SRS antenna switching during performance of an activity in a different network subscription, in order to relieve MCS penalties in response to such suspension while minimizing RLC holes. The UE sends a plurality of SRSs to a base station in a first network using a first SIM of the UE, where each of the SRSs is sent using a different antenna. The UE suspends SRS transmission from the different antennas while performing an activity in a second network using a second SIM of the UE. The UE sends a HARQ-ACK to the base station while the SRS transmission is suspended in response to at least one of a plurality of un-decoded data transmissions from the base station.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2021Publication date: August 8, 2024Inventors: Ling XIE, Reza SHAHIDI, Qingxin CHEN, Rahul MARINGANTI, Ankur SRIVASTAVA, Anindya MAJUMDER, Kamalakar GANTI, Sivaram Srivenkata PALAKODETY, Ambarish TRIPATHI, Krishna Chaitanya MUKKERA, Peng WU, Wei SUN, Yuyi LI, Mohammad ASHRAF

Patent number: 11101871Abstract: In a particular implementation, a method of wireless communication includes searching, at a user equipment (UE) having a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a second SIM, transmit beams from a base station and receive beams from the UE to determine a subset of transmit beams. The method also includes storing indicators of the subset of transmit beams in a database accessible to the UE in response to the second SIM performing a particular operation that causes the first SIM to perform a tune away operation. The method further includes, after completion of the particular operation, performing measurement operations on the subset of transmit beams to select a particular transmit beam of the subset of transmit beams and a corresponding particular receive beam for attachment to the base station.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Vishnu Namboodiri Karakkad Kesavan Namboodiri, Sandeep Kumar Aitha, Arnab Pal, Mohammad Ashraf
