  • Patent number: 12219625
    Abstract: A method of connection establishment through a relay UE for a remote UE is proposed. The remote and relay UEs first perform discovery and establish a PC5 radio resource control (PC5-RRC) connection. Upon receiving a request from the remote UE, the relay UE and a serving gNB perform a relaying procedure for establishment of the remote UE's signalling radio bearer 1 (SRB1). The relay UE configures PC5 RLC channels for relaying of SRB1 towards the remote UE. The remote UE then enters an RRC_CONNECTED state. The remote UE and gNB establish security. The gNB configures additional data radio bearers (DRBs) for relaying. The relay UE configures PC5 RLC channels for relaying of the additional DRBs towards the remote UE. The DRBs can then be used for exchange of data between the remote UE and the gNB.

  • Publication number: 20250024476
    Abstract: A synergetic communication method for relay node configuration and protocol stacks is proposed. A network node may generate a scheduling which indicates the relay node configurations associated with an aggregated group based on the capability information from a user equipment (UE). The scheduling may comprise different configurations for the relay nodes in the aggregated group. In addition, the network node may transmit or schedule the scheduling for controlling the aggregated group to the UE. The UE may transmit the capability information associated with the relay node(s) in the aggregated group to the network node. Therefore, the network node is able to configure the configuration for the relay node with limited capability.

  • Publication number: 20250016766
    Abstract: A synergetic communication method for relay node identification (ID) acquisition is proposed. The network node may generate a configuration based on the relay node information from a user equipment (UE) to configure the relay node ID for the relay node in an aggregated group. The network node may schedule the operations of the devices of the aggregated group based on the configuration. The UE may detect the relay node and assign the relay node ID configured by the network node to the relay node in the aggregated group. Therefore, when the relay node in the aggregated group cannot directly obtain the relay node ID from the network node, the UE can assist of obtaining the relay node ID from the network node and assigning the relay node ID to the relay node in the aggregated group.

  • Patent number: 12191969
    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure provide techniques for detecting and recovering from beam-failure events. In some embodiments, motion sensor information generated by motion sensors on a UE is used to detect, predict, and/or recover from a beam failure event that results, or would otherwise result, from movement of the UE. The motion sensor information may be used to adjust a current beam direction used by the UE to transmit or receive a signal, or to determine a recommendation for adjusting a current beam direction of the base station. The motion sensor information may be generated by any sensor that detects a movement of the UE, such as a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, a global positioning system (GPS) sensor, a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) sensor, or any other device that detects a change in position/orientation of the UE.

  • Publication number: 20250008318
    Abstract: A synergetic communication method for capability reporting in relay communications is proposed. A user equipment (UE) may detect the relay node(s). In an event that a trigger condition is triggered, the UE may transmit the capability report associated with the detected relay node to the network node. The network node may generate the resource configuration based on the capability report from the UE. Therefore, the network node is able to obtain the capability information of the relay node even if the relay node has limited capability, e.g., the relay node is a layer 0 (L0) relay node or a layer 1 (L1) relay node.
