  • Patent number: 11683821
    Abstract: In general terms, network resource allocation takes place within a wireless communication channel in which resource is defined with respect to time and frequency; a resource allocation process involves joint allocation of resource for communication to and from group of devices, to enable a cyclic exchange of information between the devices and a base-station and thus to enable wireless closed loop control of the device. By jointly allocating resources in one go, overheads are reduced thereby providing a more efficient resource allocation mechanism. Furthermore, bundled transmissions are scheduled, including repetitions of transmissions to increase the likelihood of transmission success. By determining a minimum bundle length required to meet a predefined threshold for received signal quality, the reliability of the transmissions can be ensured.

  • Patent number: 11683825
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for scheduled communications in which multiple different communication instances are scheduled between a user equipment (UE) and a base station. Different communication parameters for different communication instances may be selected based on reported channel conditions between the UE and the base station. Subsequent to a report of channel conditions results in chanced communication parameters, the UE may blind decode a one or more scheduled communications using multiple candidate sets of decoding hypotheses to identify a first candidate set of decoding parameters that is used for the first scheduled communication. Such techniques provide that communication parameters may be adjusted based on channel conditions, and a UE may decode a communication in the event that the base station does not successfully receive a measurement report and continues transmissions using a prior set of parameters.
