Patent number: 11909561Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide control signaling mechanisms to support data transmission by a user equipment (UE) that is in the RRC_INACTIVE state and, more generally, in any inactive state. Beyond simply supporting data transmission by a user equipment that is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, aspects of the present application provide mechanisms for configuring the UE for preamble transmission or sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission and for toggling between such transmissions. Aspects of the present application relate to mechanisms for enabling Timing Advance estimation, which mechanisms are not burdened with high overhead and which allow the UE to remain in the RRC_INACTIVE state.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Sanjeewa Herath, Javad Abdoli, Jianglei Ma

Patent number: 11832274Abstract: Control signaling mechanisms are provided to support data transmissions to or from a user equipment (UE) in an inactive state. In some embodiments, a UE in an inactive state receives DCI including: a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) that is specific to a group of UEs, the group of UEs including the UE; and a resource assignment for a data transmission to the UE. The data transmission is then received on a physical shared channel. In further embodiments, a UE in an inactive state receives DCI including: a CRC scrambled by a paging RNTI; and a resource assignment for a paging message to the UE. A data transmission is received by the UE in the paging message or in a further transmission that is scheduled by the paging message.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Inventors: Javad Abdoli, Sanjeewa Herath

Patent number: 11700102Abstract: Systems and methods for transmitting uplink control information, for example ACK/NACK, while in RRC_inactive state, are provided. Uplink control information is transmitted while in RRC_INACTIVE state by transmitting a sequence from a set of possible sequences to convey the uplink control information, the transmitted sequence associated with a value of the uplink control information. The sequence is asynchronously transmitted. Signalling may be used to configure a transmission resource within which to transmit the sequence, wherein the transmission resource has a time duration that is longer than a time duration to transmit the sequence. This has the effect of introducing a gap following sequence transmission that can ensure the sequence transmission does not interfere with a data transmission.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Sanjeewa Herath, Javad Abdoli

Publication number: 20220231725Abstract: According to aspects of the disclosure, there is provided a method for a UE to select or be assigned or configured with a spreading sequence that is based on one or more communication parameters such as receiver type, receiver capability, SE, TBS, MCS, traffic load, PAPR requirement, MCL, number of layers, overloading, reliability requirement, transmission power consumption, number of active UEs, and transmission latency constraint, etc. In some embodiments, the spreading sequence may be related to a performance metric associated with an above parameter (PAPR, BLER, etc.). In some embodiments, this is achieved by associating spreading sequences with parameters or performance metrics, or both. In some instances the spreading sequences may be arranged or ordered in a manner to reduce signaling overhead (e.g., signaling an index is more efficient than signaling a value of a metric, and ordering correlates the index to the value).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2022Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Sanjeewa Herath, Alireza Bayesteh

Patent number: 11206113Abstract: A system and method of non-orthogonal multiple access (NoMA) transmission using a configurable NoMA scheme is provided. A bit level processor, a modulation block, a phase and amplitude adjuster, and a symbol to resource element mapper collectively produce a NoMA signal for output or transmission. A NoMA scheme implemented by the system and method is configurable through one or more NoMA configuration inputs that configure one or more of the bit level processor, the modulation block, the phase and amplitude adjustment block and the symbol to resource element mapper. A multiple access (MA) signature produced by the apparatus once configured for the particular NoMA scheme is selectable through one or more MA signature inputs.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sanjeewa Herath, Alireza Bayesteh, Yiqun Ge, Jianglei Ma

Patent number: 11133969Abstract: Aspects of the present application use a linear transformation of a sparse mapped single carrier transmission at a transmitter, for which a comparable inverse transform of the linear transform applied at the transmitter can be applied at the receiver. The linear transform reduces the sparsity of sparse mapped symbols. The use of the linear transform to reduce the sparsity enables peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and/or cubic metric to be reduced as compared to if the linear transform is not used. The linear transforms may be implemented in a block-wise manner, element-wise manner or combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Javad Abdoli, Sanjeewa Herath, Alireza Bayesteh

Methods and apparatus for enhanced spectral efficiency and reliability of transmission without grant
Patent number: 11102786Abstract: Methods and devices for enhancing the spectral efficiency and/or reliability of uplink transmission without grant are provided. Uplink transmissions without grant are transmitted by UEs or received by base stations in accordance with resource groups that map initial uplink transmissions without grant and non-zero numbers of re-transmissions without grant to sub-regions of a grant-free region of a time-frequency resource.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mohamed Adel Salem, Toufiqul Islam, Sanjeewa Herath, Alireza Bayesteh -
Patent number: 11070245Abstract: A transmission method, and corresponding transmitter are provided that use a combination of sparse symbol mapping with non-sparse spreading. This can be used for a low-PAPR multiple access scheme where good performance is achieved by sparse domain multi-user detection. The provided method uses per-frequency block time-domain non-sparse spreading across sparse blocks which provides PAPR reduction. Sparsity patterns are partitioned into groups that allows PAPR reduction. The method may be used to support the transmission of a single-carrier signal, e.g. DFT-spread signal, to provide PAPR reduction. More generally the provided method can use any low-PAPR waveform, for example any single-carrier waveform or any single-subcarrier waveform.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Sanjeewa Herath, Monirosharieh Vameghestahbanati, Javad Abdoli

Patent number: 11050532Abstract: A bit-level operation may be implemented prior to modulation and resource element (RE) mapping in order to generate a NoMA transmission using standard (QAM, QPSK, BPSK, etc.) modulators. In this way, the bit-level operation is exploited to achieve the benefits of NoMA (e.g., improved spectral efficiency, reduced overhead, etc.) at significantly less signal processing and hardware implementation complexity. The bit-level operation is specifically designed to produce an output bit-stream that is longer than the input bit-stream, and that includes output bit-values that are computed as a function of the input bit-values such that when the output bit-stream is subjected to modulation (e.g., m-ary QAM, QPSK, BPSK), the resulting symbols emulate a spreading operation that would otherwise have been generated from the input bit-stream, either by a NoMA-specific modulator or by a symbol-domain spreading operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Ming Jia, Jianglei Ma, Alireza Bayesteh, Sanjeewa Herath
