Patent number: 11963167Abstract: A method in a User Equipment (UE) configured with Discontinuous Reception (DRX) and a method in a network node for Downlink (DL) scheduling of the UE. The UE is further configured with Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS) which reduces the latency in Uplink (UL) transmission. The network node monitors a receipt of UL data in any of the SPS resources granted to the UE, a Wake-up grant or assignment is sent on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and a HARQ-information is sent in response to the received UL data. The Wake-up grant/assignment triggers a drx-Inactivity timer to run in the UE. While the UE is DRX active, the network node may schedule a DL data transmission and send a DL assignment and the DL data to the UE.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Saad Naveed Ahmed, Anders Ohlsson

Publication number: 20240040390Abstract: A network node for handling a Multicast-Broadcast Single-Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe configuration in a wireless communications network is provided. The MB SFN subframe configuration is configured for a first Radio Access technology (RAT) for operating in shared spectrum mode with a second RAT for radio communication with one or more User Equipments (UEs). The MBSFN subframe configuration is configured with a second RAT Cell-Specific Reference Signal (CRS) rate matching. For the MBSFN subframe configuration and for a number of past subframes, the network node obtains (401) a first requirement of subframes related to the first RAT. The first requirement is based on load and radio conditions related to the first RAT. For the MB SFN subframe configuration and for a number of past subframes, the network node obtains (402) a second requirement of subframes related to the second RAT. The second requirement is based on load and radio conditions related to the second RAT.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2020Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventor: Saad Naveed Ahmed

Patent number: 11622358Abstract: A method performed by a network node for deciding whether or not to trigger short Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS) reactivation of a short SPS activated User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network is provided. The network node receives Uplink, UL, data from the UE over a radio resource. The radio resource comprises any one out of: an SPS resource and a dynamically granted resource. The network node determines a difference of signal quality of the radio resource used for the received UL data compared to a previous signal quality calculated when last of any one out of: deactivation and reactivation of short SPS was triggered. The network node then decides whether or not to trigger short SPS reactivation of the UE based on the determined difference of the signal quality.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2018Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Pu Yao, Saad Naveed Ahmed

Publication number: 20230070270Abstract: An allocation strategy allocating Resource Block Groups (RBGs) on a frequency carrier to a first Radio Access technology (RAT) and a second RAT for radio communication with a User Equipment (UE), is provided. A first allocation strategy is evaluated by allocating with start from the decided first RAT starting point, a first number of RBGs to the first RAT. The second RAT is allocated a second number of RBGs by use of the RBs that remains on the carrier after occupation of the first number of RBGs. A first difference is computed between the number of RBs requested for the first RAT and a first number of RBs comprised in the first number of RBGs allocated to the first RAT, and further computes a second difference between the number of RBs requested for the second RAT and a second number of RBs as comprised in the second number of RBGs.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2020Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventor: Saad Naveed Ahmed

Publication number: 20220159490Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for operating a network node, as well as corresponding network nodes, computer programs, computer program products, and computer-readable media. The method comprises attempting to obtain a scheduled uplink transmission from a transmitter. In response to successful decoding at the network node of the scheduled uplink transmission, it is concluded that the uplink transmission is not skipped by the transmitter. In response to unsuccessful decoding at the network node of the scheduled uplink transmission and a signal strength measurement for the attempt to obtain the scheduled uplink transmission being below a threshold, it is concluded that the uplink transmission is skipped by the transmitter. In response to unsuccessful decoding at the network node of the scheduled uplink transmission and the signal strength measurement for the attempt to obtain the scheduled uplink transmission exceeding the threshold, rescheduling of the uplink transmission is performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2019Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Saad Naveed Ahmed, Fredrik Huss
