Patent number: 11172504Abstract: Coordination of listen before talk (LBT) structure in new radio (NR) unlicensed (NR-U) multi-channel access operations is disclosed. In one aspect, when a base station determines to access shared communication spectrum, it may transmit an LBT structure signal that identifies the current LBT structure. The base station would then attempt access to the shared spectrum according to the LBT structure. In another aspect, a coordination server is used to manage access to the shared spectrum. Each node desiring access registers with the coordination server, which provides access parameters for the accessing node to use that increases the likelihood of successful access. The accessing nodes will transmit the selected access configuration used to access the shared spectrum, wherein the access configuration is selected based on the access parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yisheng Xue, Aleksandar Damnjanovic, Xiaoxia Zhang, Jing Sun, Yongbin Wei, Tamer Kadous

Patent number: 11156979Abstract: A novel and useful acknowledgement and adaptive frequency hopping mechanism for use in wireless communication systems such as IO-Link Wireless. One or two additional acknowledgement bits are added to packet transmissions. One is a current acknowledgment bit which indicates whether a packet was successfully received anytime during the current cycle. The second bit is a previous acknowledgment bit which indicates whether packets were received successfully anytime during the previous cycle. An adaptive hopping table is constructed using a greedy algorithm which chooses frequencies with the best PER for transmission of higher priority packets, while equalizing the PER products across cycles. A last resort frequency mechanism further improves transmission success by switching to a better performing channel for the last subcycle when previous attempts to transmit a high priority packet have failed.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Coretigo, Ltd.Inventors: Dan Wolberg, Ofer Blonskey, Ofri Olinky, David Marks, Omer Ephrat, Nir Efraim Joseph Tal

Patent number: 11160100Abstract: Multiplexing of information may be useful in a variety of communication scenarios, such as communication of control information. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from uplink control information multiplexing for downlink two orthogonal frequency division multiplexed symbol short transmission time interval and one millisecond transmission time interval. A method can include receiving, at a user equipment, a downlink assignment scheduling first downlink data transmission in a first transmission time interval duration. The method can also include determining when to provide acknowledgment feedback in an uplink corresponding to the scheduled downlink data transmission. The determination can take into account whether the user equipment is scheduled for downlink data transmission in a second transmission time interval duration. The second transmission time interval duration can be shorter than the first transmission time interval duration.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2017Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Timo Lunttila, Juha Korhonen, Karol Schober

Patent number: 11160133Abstract: During operation, a radio node may provide, at a transmit time during a first time interval, a first instance of a keep-alive message to a computer. Then, the radio node may receive, at a receive time prior to a first instance of a transmit expire time, an instance of a keep-alive response from the computer, where the instance of the keep-alive response authorizes the radio node to transmit in a granted portion of the spectrum until a second instance of the transmit expire time has elapsed. Moreover, the radio node may determine, based at least in part on the receive time and the first instance of the transmit expire time, an updated transmit time. Next, the radio node may provide, at the updated transmit time, which is prior to the second instance of the transmit expire time, a second instance of the keep-alive message addressed to the computer.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Awaiz Khan, Ravi Sharma

Patent number: 11159455Abstract: Ingress packet processors in a device receive network packets from ingress ports. A crossbar in the device receives, from the ingress packet processors, packet data of the packets and transmits information about the packet data to a plurality of traffic managers in the device. Each traffic manager computes a total amount of packet data to be written to buffers across the plurality of traffic managers, where each traffic manager manages one or more buffers that store packet data. Each traffic manager compares the total amount of packet data to one or more threshold values. Upon determining that the total amount of packet data is equal to or greater than a threshold value, each traffic manager drops a portion of the packet data, and writes a remaining portion of the packet data to the buffers managed by the traffic manager.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Innovium, Inc.Inventors: William Brad Matthews, Puneet Agarwal, Mohammad Kamel Issa, Ajit K.
