  • Patent number: 11963031
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a transmitting device may support receiver-specific network coding redundancy techniques. For example, a transmitting device may select a receiver-specific redundancy configuration for transmission to a particular receiver based on a quality of a link between the transmitting device and the receiving device. The transmitting device may select or calculate a user-specific redundancy for the link based on a received packet loss probability report, or may select the preferred redundancy configuration as indicated in a request received from the receiving device, or may network encode and transmit one or more initial transmissions according to a default redundancy configuration and increment or decrement the default redundancy based on feedback from the receiving device.

  • Patent number: 11962419
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for supporting network transmissions using unicast sidelink communications. A base station (BS) may transmit a set of encoded packets to a number of user equipment (UEs) and receive feedback messages from the UEs that indicate sets of decoded packets. Based on the feedback messages, the BS may transmit an updated set of encoded packets based on a difference between the set of encoded packets and the union of decoded packets. The BS may transmit an instruction to a first UE to transmit a broadcast sidelink communication that includes a set of missed packets that includes one or more decoded packets that were decoded by the first UE but were not decoded by the second UE. The first UE may transmit the broadcast sidelink communication to the second UE.
