Patent number: 11877228Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media are provided for user equipment (UE) that supports enhanced coverage and may operate with a voice centric usage setting or a data centric usage setting. When the UE's usage setting is set to voice centric, the UE may not operate in coverage enhancement (CE) mode B. When the UE's usage setting is set to data centric, then the UE may operate in CE mode B. The UE may indicate the UE's usage setting in an Attach or Tracking Area Update (TAU) request message, and a mobility management entity (MME) may indicate to an evolved NodeB that CE mode B is restricted or not restricted based on the usage setting. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Puneet Jain, Robert Zaus, Ahmed Soliman, Marta Martinez Tarradell, Stefania Sesia

Patent number: 11172371Abstract: Machines or networked devices such as internet of things (IoT) devices operate to generate an unlicensed narrowband (U-NB) IoT communication based on time domain multiple carrier aggregation operations with component carriers. These component carriers can comprise a component carrier that is anchored to a long term evolution (LTE) licensed band, or entirely comprise unlicensed carrier components that are unanchored to the LTE component carrier in a standalone configuration. Communication circuitry such as a radio frequency interface can transmit the U-NB IoT communication in standalone communications over a low power IoT network in an unlicensed band.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Stefania Sesia, Jose A.

Publication number: 20190379468Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for channel state determination, such as, for instance, determining one or more channel state parameters for a wireless communication channel between a user equipment (UE) and a base station in a mobile network. Some embodiments are particularly directed to a radio access network (RAN) control system that determines one or more channel state parameters for wireless communication channels in a RAN portion of a mobile network based on propagation data in a channel state base (CSB) database. For example, propagation behavior of a wireless communication channel between a UE and a base station may be calculated by the radio access KSPCS based, at least in part, on propagation data in the CSB database and a physical location of the UE.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2017Publication date: December 12, 2019Applicant: INTEL IP CORPORATIONInventors: Sabine ROESSEL, Stefania SESIA, Tommaso BALERCIA, Christian DREWES, Josef HAUSNER, Patricia GUITTON-OUHAMOU

Patent number: 10110265Abstract: A method (100) in a network node serving a User Equipment (UE) capable of network assisted interference cancellation is disclosed. The method involves a signaling (104) of an indication to the UE indicating whether the UE should enable or disable (108) the network assisted interference cancellation, or whether the UE should autonomously choose (110) to enable or disable the network assisted interference cancellation. The enabling or disabling is done for at least one of demodulating the downlink channel or computing the channel state information. The method further involves a receiving (106) of information from the UE about whether the network assisted interference cancellation has been used by the UE for at least one of demodulating the downlink channel and computing the channel state information. A related method in a UE is also disclosed, together with the network node and the UE as such.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2015Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Stefania Sesia, Robert Mark Harrison, George Jöngren, Bo Lincoln, Lars Lindbom, Fredrik Nordström

Patent number: 10064214Abstract: A method and system to reduce a probability of incorrect interruption of an uplink transmission of a wireless device are disclosed. According to one aspect, decoding of a sequence of bits obtained from a signal received by the wireless device is performed without knowing whether the sequence corresponds to one of a grant for uplink transmission and noise. Decoding of the sequence of bits is performed to determine a probability metric associated with a first m bits of the sequence, where m is an integer greater than 1. The probability metric is compared to a threshold. The received signal is interpreted as having a grant sequence if the probability metric is greater than the threshold. The received signal is interpreted as noise if the probability metric is not greater than the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Stefania Sesia, Göran Bergman, Waikwok Kwong, Gerardo Agni Medina Acosta

Patent number: 9906328Abstract: A technology is disclosed for decoding a received signal at a wireless device. A first receiving process is performed comprising a decoding of the signal giving a first decoded result. It is determined if the first decoded result is correctly decoded. If so, the first decoded result is provided for downstream processing. If not, a second receiving process is performed comprising a decoding of the received signal for providing a second decoded result; and the second decoded result is provided for downstream processing. Further, either the first or second receiving process performs a blind detection of the transmission properties of an interfering signal and performs an interference cancellation thereupon.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Bo Lincoln, Robert Mark Harrison, George Jöngren, Fredrik Nordström, Stefania Sesia
