  • Patent number: 11937312
    Abstract: A serving gateway device (SGW) can cause establishment of a requested connection to a first PDN for a user device. The SGW can cause suspension of the connection to the first PDN and establishment of a requested connection to a second PDN for the user device based on a requested connection to a second PDN for a user device. The SGW can cause termination of the connection to the second PDN based on the respective end time associated with the second PDN, and cause restoration of the connection to the first PDN after the connection to the second PDN is terminated.

  • Patent number: 11812306
    Abstract: An improved cellular network communications scheme enables synchronization of end-to-end session parameters between a radio access network and user equipment. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising receiving, at an access point, a first notification from user equipment (UE), the first notification including data representing a capability of the UE; receiving, at the access point, a second notification from the UE, the second notification including data representing a negotiated session parameter; detecting, by the access point, a change in quality of a network link associated with the UE; and disabling, by the access point, a transmission of a recommendation to the UE based on the negotiated session parameter.

  • Patent number: 11711758
    Abstract: A user equipment transmits user equipment information, associated with a communication of the user equipment, to permit a base station to select a first bandwidth part, a second bandwidth part, or a third bandwidth part. The user equipment is configured to communicate by the first bandwidth part, the second bandwidth part, and the third bandwidth part. The user equipment receives, from the base station, an instruction to monitor the first bandwidth part, the second bandwidth part, or the third bandwidth part. The instruction is selected based on the user equipment information. The user equipment monitors, based on the instruction, the first bandwidth part, the second bandwidth part, or the third bandwidth part.

  • Patent number: 11564270
    Abstract: An Internet of Things (IoT) device may receive a network configuration profile including one or more parameters relating to a scan interval and a mode priority of the IoT device indicating a priority for a first IoT network over a second IoT network. The IoT device may scan for an availability of the first IoT network. Based on determining that the first IoT network is unavailable, the IoT device may scan for an availability of the second IoT network. Based on determining that the second IoT network is available, the IoT device may initiate a network connection with the second IoT network. While connected to the second IoT network, the IoT device may scan for the availability of the first IoT network. Based on determining that the first IoT network is available, the IoT device may initiate a network connection with the first IoT network.

  • Patent number: 11477733
    Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the selection of On Durations, Off Durations, and associated timers for monitoring of downlink traffic for a User Equipment (“UE”). For example, the UE may monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (“PDCCH”) according to a first set of On and Off Durations associated with a particular profile selected for the UE, and monitor the PDCCH according to a second set of On and Off Durations associated with the particular profile upon expiration of a timer associated with the first set of On and Off Durations. Machine learning or other suitable techniques may be used to refine the selection of On/Off Durations and associated timers in an ongoing process.

  • Patent number: 11388666
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide a false grant detection service. An end device may receive downlink control information when in a discontinuous reception active state. The downlink control information may include a new downlink transmission grant or a new uplink transmission grant. When downlink data pertaining to the new downlink transmission grant is unsuccessfully decoded, the end device may identify the new downlink transmission grant as a potential false grant and invoke a verification procedure. Depending on the result of the verification procedure, the end device may or may not start a discontinuous reception inactivity timer depending on whether the potential false grant is deemed a false grant or a valid grant. Similarly, the end device may invoke a verification procedure for a new uplink transmission grant. The detection of false grants may minimize the waste of power for the end device.

  • Patent number: 11109276
    Abstract: An example method includes receiving, from a high bitrate communication device, a first request to communicate via a high bitrate communication protocol; responding to the first request from the high bitrate communication device by establishing a high bitrate communication session; sending, after the high bitrate communication session is established, a second request to the high bitrate communication device to communicate via a low bitrate communication protocol; receiving, from the high bitrate communication device, a response associated with the second request; and establishing a low bitrate communication session using the low bitrate communication protocol.
