Publication number: 20240235740Abstract: Systems and method are specified to improve the reception of UL transmission, for example in power or coverage limited situations. A WTRU may modify procedures to increase the available signal energy for reception at an eNB and/or to make more efficient use of the available signal energy at the receiver for processing UL transmissions. Example methods for increasing UL link coverage may include modifying HARQ timing (e.g., shorter HARQ), using longer TTIs, use of dedicated PUSCH allocations, use of new PUSCH modulations, enhanced reference signal design, UL macro diversity reception for PUSCH, utilizing protocol reduction techniques, ensuring in-order packet delivery, and/or utilizing a configuration for coverage limited/power limited modes of operation. The proposed methods may be applied individually or in any combination.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2024Publication date: July 11, 2024Applicant: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Marian Rudolf, Paul Marinier, Diana Pani, Ghyslain Pelletier, Christopher R.

Publication number: 20220070766Abstract: Approaches for idle mode operations for wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) with zero-energy (ZE) receivers are disclosed herein. A WTRU operating in idle mode, may receive using the main transceiver over a Uu interface, an energy harvesting (EH) configuration for use over a ZE air interface. The main transceiver may be turned off, and the ZE receiver as part of a ZE idle mode operation, may detect, over the ZE air interface, and harvest energy from ZE reference signals. The WTRU may calculate an amount of energy harvested from the ZE reference signals over a first time period. The WTRU may calculate a ZE idle mode operation energy consumption over the first time period. On a condition that the ZE idle mode operation energy consumption is greater than the harvested energy, the main transceiver may be turned on and the WTRU may enter a Uu interface idle mode operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2019Publication date: March 3, 2022Applicant: IDAC HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Tanbir Haque, Hussain E.

Patent number: 11265919Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for Random Access Channel (RACH) procedures in unlicensed spectrum. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may monitor for a random access response (RAR) or a reference signal (RS), e.g. in an RAR window. The WTRU may determine whether an RS has been received a threshold amount of times, e.g. if an RAR is not received. The WTRU may continue to monitor for an RAR or an RS, e.g. if the RS has not been received a threshold amount of times and the RAR window is not at a maximum RAR window size.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2018Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: IDAC Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Arnab Roy, Janet A. Stern-Berkowitz, J. Patrick Tooher, Alpaslan Demir, Moon-il Lee, Muhammad U. Fazili, Kevin T. Wanuga, Sanjay Goyal, Mihaela Beluri, Scott M. Newton

Patent number: 11108500Abstract: Latency reduction by fast forward (FF) in multi-hop communication device and/or systems is disclosed. Packets may be received and forwarded using a codeword (CW)-based approach with and/or without per-CW CRC. A FF session may have a flow ID and packets may have sequence numbers. Packets targeted for FF may be divided into independently decodable CWs that may be transmitted in the next hop, for example, as soon as the destination is determined without waiting for an entire packet's arrival and/or for CRC verification. Low latency (e.g. FF) traffic may be indicated. CW-based FF may be extensible for an e2e RAN path from a WTRU to the last access node in a RAN. Intermediate metrics, a packet CRC and/or a per-CW CRC may be utilized for data integrity. HARQ and/or CW retransmission procedures may be implemented between network nodes for error handling.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2017Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: IDAC Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Philip J.

Patent number: 10904895Abstract: Channel state information is reported in periodic and aperiodic reports for multiple component carriers or serving cells. Channel state information may be reported for a subset of aggregated downlink carriers or serving cells. For an aperiodic report, the carrier(s)/serving cell(s) for which channel state information is reported are determined based on the request for the aperiodic report. When a CQI/PMI/RI report and a HARQ ACK/NACK report coincide in a subframe, the HARQ ACK/NACK report is transmitted on PUCCH, and the CQI/PMI/RI report is transmitted on PUSCH.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Shahrokh Nayeb Nazar, Robert L Olesen, Paul Marinier, Ghyslain Pelletier, Kyle Jung-Lin Pan, Marian Rudolf, Muhammad U Fazili, Lakshmi R Iyer
