Publication number: 20240040565Abstract: New Radio (NR)-aware LTE scheduling is provided. An access station for a radio access network includes a first scheduling function. The first scheduling function identifies a User Equipment (UE) device that has a first active wireless connection and a second active wireless connection to the radio access network. The first scheduling function determines that expanded coverage is needed for an uplink transmission for the second active wireless connection and obtains uplink scheduling information for the second active wireless connection. The first scheduling function adjusts uplink scheduling for the first active wireless connection such that power sharing is prioritized for uplink time intervals of the second active wireless connection over overlapping uplink time intervals of the first active wireless connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Alpaslan Gence Savas, Mathew Thomas, Sachin Vargantwar, Chin Chiu, Maulik Shah

Publication number: 20230421472Abstract: A device may receive network data identifying uplink/downlink packet loss percentage, uplink/downlink jitter, uplink/downlink latency, and uplink/downlink packet throughput associated with a slice of a network, and may set an uplink value for each of the uplink packet loss percentage, the uplink jitter, the uplink latency, and the uplink packet throughput. The device may multiply the uplink values by corresponding uplink weights to calculate an uplink cost, and may set a downlink value for each of the downlink packet loss percentage, the downlink jitter, the downlink latency, and the downlink packet throughput. The device may multiply the downlink values by corresponding downlink weights to calculate a downlink cost, and may calculate a total cost based on the uplink cost and the downlink cost. The device may cause another slice, with the same attributes as the slice, to be instantiated when the total cost satisfies a threshold for a time period.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: James MATHEW, Peretz FEDER, Mourad B.

Publication number: 20230144234Abstract: A base station may receive uplink data identifying uplink performance indicators associated with user equipment connected to the base station, and may receive tuning factors associated with shared channel traffic received by the user equipment and quality of service requirements of the user equipment. The base station may determine a total score associated with utilizing a long duration physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format for uplink control information based on the uplink data and the tuning factors. The base station may determine that the total score satisfies a threshold score and may switch to the long duration PUCCH format for the uplink control information based on the total score satisfying the threshold score.

Publication number: 20230112639Abstract: In some implementations, a device may determine a signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) value associated with a communication channel between a user equipment and the device. The device may select, based on the SINR value, a channel quality indicator (CQI) value associated with the communication channel or a sounding reference signal (SRS) from the UE to determine a multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) configuration for transmitting data to the UE. The device may determine the MIMO configuration according to the CQI value based on the SINR value being a first value. The device may determine the MIMO configuration according to the SRS based on the SINR value being a second value that is different than the first value. The device may transmit the data to the UE using the MIMO configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2021Publication date: April 13, 2023Applicant: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Mark Ernest NEWBURY, Chin CHIU, Jack Anthony SMITH, Sachin VARGANTWAR
