  • Patent number: 11569941
    Abstract: A transmitting node determines data for a first service will be transmitted during a time period when data for a second service will be transmitted. The data for the first service requires lower latency than the data for the second service and the data for the first service includes an original set of data for the first service and at least one repetition of the original set of data for the first service. The transmitting node adjusts resources consumed by the data for the first service based on available transmission resources. During the time period the transmitting node then transmits the data for the first service using the adjusted resources while data for the second service is transmitted during the time period.

  • Patent number: 11405149
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for data retransmission. In example embodiments, a method implemented in a first device is provided. According to the method, a RLC packet to a second device is transmitted on a RLC layer. It is determined whether an ACK feedback for the RLC packet is received from the second device during a predetermined RLC retransmission period. In response to missing the ACK feedback during the RLC retransmission period, the RLC packet is retransmitted to the second device on the RLC layer, regardless whether a NACK feedback for the previously transmitted RLC packet is received from the second device.

  • Patent number: 11219052
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, behaviors of User Equipment (UE) and base station (BS) pertinent to Scheduling Request (SR) and/or Buffer Status Report (BSR) as well as resource management in short Transmission Time Interval (sTTI) relevant scenarios are discussed. UE may firstly determine if the SR is triggered by a buffer status change of a delay-critical data which needs a sTTI. If so, UE will send the SR to BS on a first type of uplink control channel designed for sTTI. Otherwise, UE will send the SR to the base station on a second type of uplink control channel designed for legacy TTI.
