  • Publication number: 20250119976
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods enable layer 2 (L2) relaying optimizations for a remote user equipment (UE) to receive system information (SI) from a relay UE. The relay UE may establish a sidelink communication channel with the remote UE that is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state, an RRC inactive state, or an out-of-coverage (OOC) state with respect to the base station. The relay UE decodes a relay SI request received through the sidelink communication channel from the first remote UE. The relay SI request indicates requested system information. The Relay UE obtains the requested system information or a subset of the requested system information from a memory device or from the base station and encodes a relay SI response to send to the first remote UE. The relay SI response includes the requested system information or the subset of the requested system information.

  • Patent number: 12273741
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for a UE to determine a UL spatial relation for an UL transmission in response to an unknown UL spatial relation switch. The UE may determine whether the UL spatial relation is based on an SRS transmission in UL, a CSI-RS in DL, or an SSB in the DL. If the UL spatial relation is based on the SRS transmission, the UE may select the UL spatial relation for the UL transmission corresponding to a Tx beam of the SRS transmission. If the UL spatial relation is based on the CSI-RS or the SSB, the UE may select the UL spatial relation for the UL transmission based on whether the unknown UL spatial relation switch is due to a corresponding resource for beam training not being configured by a communication network or a corresponding beam information being expired.

  • Patent number: 12250723
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for signaling unused channel occupancy time (COT) to the gNB for COT sharing among other UEs. Upon determining that a portion of the maximum COT (MCOT) provided to the UE will be unused, the UE can generate COT sharing information for transmission back to the gNB. The COT sharing information identifies a starting point and a duration (e.g., a number of consecutive slots) of the unused portion of the MCOT. This information is then encoded into configured grant uplink control information (UG-UCI) and transmitted to the gNB as part of the uplink transmission. In aspects, the unused portion may begin part-way through a slot. In this instance, a starting symbol of the unused portion or an ending symbol of the used portion may also be encoded into the uplink transmission. In this manner, unused COT is not wasted, but rather repurposed by the gNB.

  • Publication number: 20250081678
    Abstract: A LED includes: a semiconductor layer sequence, a first electrode and a second electrode, and the semiconductor layer sequence includes a first semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, and a second semiconductor layer arranged sequentially from bottom to top in that order. The first or second electrode includes an electrode structure including a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and a third metal layer. The first metal layer is electrically connected to the semiconductor layer sequence, the second metal layer is disposed on the first metal layer, and the third metal layer is disposed on the second metal layer. The second metal layer includes a nickel-phosphorus alloy or a nickel-phosphorus compound. The design of the second metal layer enhances the electrode adhesion and reliability during soldering, preventing the diffusion of an external solder to the first metal layer, thereby avoiding the risk of electrode detachment caused by push force.

  • Patent number: 12245314
    Abstract: Systems and methods for small data transmissions (SDTs) between a user equipment (UE) and a network are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the UE determines whether to perform an SDT procedure by comparing its own mobility state to an SDT mobility state condition provided by the network. The UE may also determine whether to perform the SDT procedure by comparing the size of user plane (UP) data to be sent with the SDT procedure to an SDT mobility-based data amount threshold provided by the network. Upon entering an RRC_INACTIVE state, the UE may start a validity timer relative to any such SDT mobility state condition and/or SDT mobility-based data amount threshold, and invalidate these once the validity timer expires. In some disclosed embodiments, the UE reports its determined mobility state to the network during an SDT procedure so that the network can accordingly select configuration parameters for SDT procedures.
