Patent number: 11917471Abstract: A telecommunication network associated with a wireless telecommunication provider can be configured to dynamically switch the primary cell (PCell) used by user equipment (UE) for carrier aggregation (CA) in 5G cellular networks. Instead of remaining anchored to an initially selected PCell, a different PCell may be dynamically selected based on different network conditions. The network conditions may include network congestion, network capacity, uplink speed, location of the UE, an activity of the UE (e.g., is the UE uploading or planning to upload data), and the like. As an example, the PCell may be selected from an n41 (2.5 GHz) cell and an n71 (600 MHz) cell. When the UE is close to the n41 cell, the n41 cell may be selected. When the UE is moving away from the cell center and toward the cell edge, the PCell may be switched from the n41 cell to the n71 cell.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Ming Shan Kwok, Yasmin Karimli, Wafik Abdel Shahid

Patent number: 11800406Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices can be used to perform service-aware utilization of shared wireless resources. In various instances, a quality metric (e.g., a Bit Error Rate (BER)) of a shared wireless resource is determined. Requested services can be provided based at least partly on the quality metric and the type of services being requested. For example, when the quality metric exceeds a threshold and the requested services are for Quality of Service (QoS)-sensitive services (e.g., Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) services), the services can be provided at least partially via a licensed wireless resource. However, when the quality metric does not exceed the threshold, and/or the requested services are for non-QoS-sensitive services (e.g., non-GBR services), the services can be provided via the shared wireless resource.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Yasmin Karimli, Gunjan Nimbavikar

Publication number: 20230298605Abstract: Described herein are techniques, devices, and systems for selectively using a music-capable audio codec on-demand during a communication session. A user equipment (UE) may adaptively transition between using a first audio codec that provides a first audio bandwidth and a second audio codec (e.g., the EVS-FB codec) that provides a second audio bandwidth that is greater than the first audio bandwidth. The transition to the second audio codec may occur in response to determining that sound in the environment of the UE includes frequencies outside of a range of frequencies associated with a human voice, such as by determining that music is being played in the environment of the UE, which allows for selectively using a music-capable audio codec when it would be beneficial to do so.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Hsin Fu Henry Chiang, Yasmin Karimli, Ming Shan Kwok
