Patent number: 11838892Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Timothy F.

Patent number: 11374797Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Roya Doostnejad, Juan Fang, Feng Jiang, Laurent Cariou, Dave Cavalcanti, Xiaogang Chen, Timothy F.

Publication number: 20180191450Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2016Publication date: July 5, 2018Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Shahar Porat, Anand S.
