  • Patent number: 11716122
    Abstract: Various systems and methods disclosed herein describe improvements for beam management that leverage virtualization across a vertical polarization (V-Pol) and horizontal polarization (H-Pol). One or more of a user equipment (UE) and a base station may include an antenna array comprising V-Pol antenna elements and H-Pol antenna elements. The UE may determine a number of receive (Rx) beam of an Rx beam sweep are needed, signal this number to the base station, and perform the beam sweep according to one or both of the V-Pol and H-Pol. A UE may use group based beam reporting to indicate to the base station a transmit (Tx) beam upon which downlink MIMO using V-Pol and H-Pol may be supported by reporting a same transmission configuration indication (TCI) corresponding to the Tx beam for both a first Rx beam and a second Rx beam in a group based beam reporting message.

  • Publication number: 20230154672
    Abstract: This application relates to a transformer and power equipment. The transformer includes: a low-voltage coil; a high-voltage coil; a magnetic core, where at least a part of the magnetic core is penetrated through the low-voltage coil and the high-voltage coil; an insulation member with a ground plane disposed on an outer surface of the insulation member; and a voltage uniform layer. The insulation member is wrapped around the high-voltage coil, so that the high-voltage coil is insulated from the low-voltage coil and the magnetic core, heat dissipation of the high-voltage coil, low-voltage coil and the magnetic core can be facilitated, and a service life of the transformer can be prolonged. A structure of the transformer is simplified, so that installation and maintenance of the low-voltage coil and the magnetic core can be facilitated, and processing and maintenance costs of the transformer can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11582669
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to a mobile device that initiates handovers from short-range networks to long-range networks. In various embodiments, a mobile device includes one or more radios that communicate using a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) including a cellular RAT and a short-range RAT. In such an embodiment, the mobile device stores an indication that the cellular RAT is a preferred RAT for a communication session. The mobile may establish the communication session using the preferred RAT, and in response to determining that a quality of the preferred RAT fails to satisfy a set of quality criteria, may request that the communication session use the short-range RAT. In some embodiments, the mobile device analyzes average packet error rate for the communication session and in response to the average packet error rate satisfying a threshold, requests that the communication session use the cellular RAT.
