Patent number: 11924892Abstract: Techniques for random access (RA) in a cellular internet-of-things (CIOT) are discussed. An example apparatus configured to be employed within a User Equipment (UE), comprises a receiver circuitry, a processor, and transmitter circuitry. The receiver circuitry is configured to receive RA resource allocation information via one of a system information message or a downlink control information (DCI) message. The processor is operably coupled to the receiver circuitry and configured to: select a RA preamble sequence; generate a payload; and spread the payload via a spreading sequence. The transmitter circuitry is configured to transmit, based on the RA resource allocation information, a RA message comprising the RA preamble sequence and the payload, wherein the RA message is transmitted in a RA slot. The receiver circuitry is further configured to receive a response comprising a device identity of the UE and one of an uplink (UL) grant or a RA reject message.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Kathiravetpillai Sivanesan, Yaser M.

Patent number: 11664952Abstract: Systems and methods of providing DMRS for a UE are generally described. The DMRS locations in a resource unit of a Physical Resource Allocation of a shared channel are randomly determined, and the DMRS sequences randomly generated before transmission from a master UE to a wearable UE. The DMRS locations are disposed on different subcarriers and symbols in the resource unit and are repeated every k subframes or m resource units within the same subframe. In situations in which the collision/contention probability is relatively small, DMRS in control channels may be used rather than in the shared data channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Joonbeom Kim, Vesh Raj Sharma Banjade, Guangjie Li, Qian Li, Satish Chandra Jha, Hassan Ghozlan, Dawei Ying, Yaser M.

Patent number: 11082950Abstract: Embodiments of a network User Equipment (nUE), wearable User Equipment (wUE), and methods for sidelink communication are generally described herein. The nUE may transmit a control channel that allocates a subframe as either a downlink subframe or an uplink subframe for a sidelink communication between the nUE and a wearable User Equipment (wUE). When the control channel allocates the subframe as a downlink subframe, the nUE may contend for access to channel resources. The contention may include transmission of a transmitter resources acquisition and sounding (TAS) channel in a physical resource block (PRB) and an attempted detection of a receiver resources acquisition and sounding (RAS) channel from the wUE in the PRB. When the control channel allocates the subframe as an uplink subframe, the wUE may contend for access to the channel resources.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Qian Li, Guangjie Li, Geng Wu, Xiaoyun May Wu, Joonbeom Kim, Hassan Ghozlan, Dawei Ying, Vesh Raj Sharma Banjade, Satish Chandra Jha, Yaser M.

Publication number: 20210112417Abstract: V2X trusted agents provide technical solutions for technical problems facing falsely reported locations of connected vehicles within V2X systems. These trusted agents (e.g., trusted members) may be used to detect an abrupt physical attenuation of a wireless signal and determine whether the attenuation was caused by signal occlusion caused by the presence of an untrusted vehicle or other untrusted object. When the untrusted vehicle is sending a message received by trusted agents, these temporary occlusions allow trusted members to collaboratively estimate the positions of untrusted vehicles in the shared network, and to detect misbehavior by associating the untrusted vehicle with reported positions. Trusted agents may also be used to pinpoint specific mobile targets. Information about one or more untrusted vehicles may be aggregated and distributed as a service.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Florian Geissler, S M Iftekharul Alam, Yaser M.

Patent number: 10749635Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for random access and scheduling request for new radio things sidelink are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a nUE (network user equipment) schedules a RA (random access) resource in a control channel. The nUE decodes a TAS (transmitter resource acquisition and sounding) payload, received from a wUE (wearable user equipment) in a PRB (physical resource block) addressed to a RA-ID (random access identifier) associated with the nUE. The nUE encodes, in response to decoding the TAS payload, a RAS (receiver resource acknowledgement and sounding) payload in the PRB. The nUE decodes initial access content received via a data channel from the wUE, the initial access content including a pro posed temp ID (temporary identifier) for addressing the wUE. The nUE encode, in response to the initial access content, an ACK (acknowledgement), addressed to the wUE, to accept initial access of the wUE.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Qian Li, Guangjie Li, Geng Wu, Xiaoyun May Wu, Joonbeom Kim, Hassan Ghozlan, Dawei Ying, Vesh Raj Sharma Banjade, Satish Chandra Jha, Yaser M.

Patent number: 10694453Abstract: Systems and methods of providing communications between UEs are generally described. A notification resource indicating subsequent transmission of a discovery message is transmitted from a UE to another UE using a discovery ID selected from a limited number of discovery IDs stored in the other UE. The other UE transmits a random access request to the UE having a temporary ID. The UE may not respond if the temporary ID is already used or may transmit data transmission information scrambled by the temporary ID. The other UE transmits a contention resolution PDU to the UE and may receive an ACK to indicate ID contention is not present, or either no response or a NACK to indicate the presence of ID contention. The other UE may either select a new temporary ID or use a backoff timer to retransmit the random access request at a random time.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Satish Chandra Jha, Qian Li, Guangjie Li, Yaser M.
