  • Patent number: 11838892
    Abstract: Systems and methods of reducing power consumption associated with paging or cDRX mode are described. A wake-up receiver (WUR) wakes up from an idle mode or cDRX state. Whether a wake-up signal (WUS) has been received by the WUR is determined. The WUS is a low-complexity signal that is less complicated than a PDCCH or PDSCH and is repeated multiple times at resource elements as indicated in a configuration from an eNB. If received, a baseband transceiver wakes up for reception of a PDCCH for the UE in a PO when the UE is in the idle mode or a PDSCH for the UE when the UE is in the cDRX state.

  • Patent number: 11374797
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to multi-user uplink channel sounding. A device may determine a channel sounding sequence with one or more access points (APs), wherein the channel sounding sequence comprises a null data packet announcement (NDPA) communicated with at least one of the one or more APs. The device may determine a first group of station devices (STAs) associated with a first basic service set (BSS). The device may cause to send a trigger frame to the first group of STAs to solicit an uplink NDP from each STA of the first group of STAs. The device may identify a first uplink NDP received from a first STA of the first group of STAs. The device may identify a second uplink NDP received from a second STA of a second group of STAs.

  • Publication number: 20180191450
    Abstract: A technology is described for determining a position of a HBC (Human Body Channel) sensor. An example method may include receiving signal data for a radio signal from a first transmitting HBC sensor transmitted over a human body channel. A signal loss of the radio signal can be calculated using the signal data received from the first transmitting HBC sensor, where the signal loss may be a function of distance of the first transmitting HBC sensor from a receiver. A distance of the first transmitting HBC sensor from the receiver can then be determined based in part on the signal loss and a relative position of the first transmitting HBC sensor can be identified based in part on the distance between the first transmitting HBC sensor and the receiver.

    Abstract: Techniques for high mobility communications are described. An apparatus may comprise a fixed device having a zone management module operative to perform mobility zone classification for multiple mobile devices in a mobile communications system. The zone management module operative assigns the mobile devices to different mobility zones based on a spectral characterization parameter for each mobile device. The spectral characterization parameter represents a type of operating environment for the mobile device. The zone management module may allocate resources to the mobile devices based on the assigned mobility zones. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
