  • Patent number: 11930467
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining timing advance (TA) validity are disclosed. In some embodiments, systems and methods are disclosed herein in which a wireless device implicitly considers a TA to be valid in a full cell when no TA validation mechanisms are explicitly configured. In other embodiments, systems and methods are disclosed herein in which a timer serves a dual purpose. If the timer is set to infinity, a wireless device will always consider a TA to be valid within a given cell, and at the same time will disable other TA validation mechanisms. Otherwise, the wireless device will interpret the timer as indicating for how long the TA value that the wireless device possesses is considered to be valid. Benefits of the solutions described herein include reducing signaling bits in the configuration and avoiding the possibility of conflicting configurations.

  • Patent number: 11930499
    Abstract: A method of a service enabler architecture layer (SEAL) can include receiving a monitoring event subscription request for network connection status information at a network resource management server in the SEAL from a vertical application layer (VAL) server. The monitoring event subscription request can indicate a target VAL user equipment (UE), a type of the network connection status information, and a timeout period indicating an amount of time lapsed after the monitoring event subscription request was transmitted. The requested network connection status information is not transmitted after the timeout period. The network connection status information of the target VAL UE can be obtained from a wireless network system. A network connection status information response message can be transmitted from the network resource management server in the SEAL to the VAL server. The network connection status information response message can include the network connection status information of the target VAL UE.

  • Patent number: 11930507
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and a base station may communicate in an unlicensed spectrum (e.g., a shared radio frequency spectrum band). As such, the UE may determine a codebook size for transmitting hybrid access request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) feedback with respect to the unlicensed spectrum. Accordingly, the UE may base the HARQ ACK codebook size on a number of HARQ processes with which the UE has been configured. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may base the HARQ ACK codebook size on a number and/or duration of downlink channel monitoring occasions indicated by the base station. In some cases, the UE may base the HARQ ACK codebook size on a combination of the techniques described herein.
