  • Publication number: 20240406883
    Abstract: Techniques for controlling the maximum transmission power utilized by transmitters of user equipment are provided. More specifically, a base station may control a transmission power of a transmitter of user equipment that is communicatively coupled to the base station to cause the transmission power of the transmitter to comply with regulations of a geographic location that the user equipment is in. In addition to the base station, the user equipment may control the transmission power of the transmitter. In either case, the transmission power may be based on whether the user equipment is located indoors or outdoors, whether the base station is deployed indoors or outdoors, or both.

  • Publication number: 20240381305
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using ranging signals with cellular devices. The ranging signals may utilize ranging slots and resources at least partially allocated by a cellular network. The resources may include frequencies used for uplink or downlink communications between the cellular network and the cellular devices. Alternatively, the resources may include frequencies outside of a spectrum used for communication between the cellular network and the cellular devices.

  • Publication number: 20240365367
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to techniques for measuring and/or detecting a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of a received signal at a user equipment (UE). The received signal may include a desired signal, co-channel interference, adjacent channel interference, and an in-band blocker. The UE may filter (e.g., remove) the various interferences and in-band blocker. The UE may determine or measure a power (or Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)) of the desired signal and a power (or RSSI) of the co-channel interference separately because the desired signal and the co-channel interference overlap in frequency. To do so, the UE may determine a total power of the received signal including the desired signal and co-channel interference. The UE may receive the desired signal again while an uplink transmission is deactivated (and thus without the interference). The UE may then calculate the SIR based on the total power and the power of the desired signal.

  • Publication number: 20240323938
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for coordinating transmission and reception of data according to multiple communication standards over a frequency band. In particular, one or more base stations/mobile electronic devices may determine a first data size of first data to be sent conforming to a first communication standard and a second data size of second data conforming to a second communication standard. A first time period may then be determined for which to send the first data based on the first data size, and a second time period may be determined for which to send the second data based on the second data size. In response to determining that the frequency channel is clear of other transmissions, the first data may be sent according to the first standard in the first time period, and the second data may be sent according to the second standard in the second time period.

  • Patent number: 12101180
    Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for high power operation in user equipment. The user equipment may indicate to a network high power capability of the user equipment. Based on an uplink signal strength of the user equipment, the network may send a command to the user equipment to transmit using the high power user equipment (HPUE) operation in half-duplex frequency division duplex (HD-FDD) mode. The network may also send a signal for the user equipment to return to a default power mode based on the uplink signal strength. The user equipment may then reconfigure to the default power in full-duplex frequency division duplex (FD-FDD) mode. The user equipment may also send an indication of an uplink duty cycle which indicates the ratio of uplink allocations corresponding to uplink transmissions relative to total uplink and downlink allocations.

  • Publication number: 20230422152
    Abstract: A base station may send an indication of frequency subranges supported by the base station to user equipment, which may respond with an indication of the frequency subranges that are also supported by the user equipment. Additionally, a Spectrum Access System (SAS) controller, using environmental sensing capability sensors, may determine whether non-federal networks are disposed in a coverage area of a base station and neighboring coverage areas. If so, then the SAS may indicate to the base station to send an indication to user equipment in the coverage area to operate using a default power mode. Otherwise, the SAS may indicate to the base station to send an indication to the user equipment to operate using a lower power mode. Moreover, a base station may indicate a regulatory requirement to user equipment using network signaling value of multiple network signaling values corresponding to multiple regulatory requirements of multiple geographical regions.
