Patent number: 12279255Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure disclose methods and systems related to separate and joints releases of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configured transmission occasions by an SPS release. For example, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station (BS) and via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) release configured to jointly release at the UE a plurality of SPS configurations, each SPS configuration of the plurality of SPS configurations configured to schedule one or more SPS physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission occasions of a plurality of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions. In some instances, the plurality of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions may occur in a same slot as the SPS release. Further, the UE may not expect to receive, or refrain from receiving, SPS PDSCH via the plurality of SPS PDSCH transmission occasions.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Seyed Ali Akbar Fakoorian, Wei Yang, Seyedkianoush Hosseini, Peter Gaal, Wanshi Chen

Patent number: 12279235Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some cases, a sidelink user equipment (UE) operating in a power saving mode may identify a resource reservation configuration for communicating within a resource pool allocated for sidelink communications. The UE may operate in a first power state of the power saving mode during a sensing window. The sensing window may correspond to a resource selection window of the resource pool. The UE may transition, after the sensing window, from the first power state to a second power state that may consume more power than the first power state. The UE may identify a subset of resources of the resource pool in the resource selection window that are available for sidelink transmission by the UE based on transitioning between the first power state and the second power state.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2024Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Wei Yang, Seyedkianoush Hosseini, Wanshi Chen, Hwan Joon Kwon

Patent number: 12273858Abstract: Idle discontinuous reception (I-DRX) cycles at a user equipment (UE) may be extended via leveraging of paging assistance from a second UE. For example, a low complexity UE may have a connection to a network (e.g., via a link to a base station) as well as a connection to another UE (e.g., via a device-to-device link to a regular UE). In cases where such a low complexity UE receives paging messages from the network, a UE associated with a device-to-device link of the low complexity UE may monitor paging messages on behalf of the low complexity UE. As such, the low complexity UE may extend its I-DRX cycle, as the assisting UE monitors paging information for the low complexity UE. The assisting UE may forward paging information for the low complexity UE according to paging occasions of the extended I-DRX cycle of the low complexity UE.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Qiaoyu Li, Chao Wei, Hao Xu, Huilin Xu, Jing Lei, Peter Pui Lok Ang, Wanshi Chen, Le Liu, Yiqing Cao, Peter Gaal
