Patent number: 10993270Abstract: A communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology. The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for performing a random access by a terminal in a wireless communication system by starting a backoff timer for a random access preamble retransmission, determining whether a criterion to select a contention free random access resource is met during the backoff timer, selecting a random access resource for a transmission of a random access preamble when the criterion is met during the backoff timer, and transmitting, to a base station, the random access preamble in the selected random access resource.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Anil Agiwal, Soenghun Kim

Patent number: 10973003Abstract: A base station transmits and a UE detects broadcast information when the UE operates in a Coverage Enhancement (CE) mode. The base station transmits repetitions of signaling conveying broadcast information in one or more subframes of each frame in a quadruple of frames. The transmission is intermittent in time. To detect the broadcast information, the UE blindly combines and decodes the repetitions of signaling assuming their existence. The base station informs the pattern for the intermittent transmissions of the signaling to UEs connected to the base station or to other base stations.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Aris Papasakellariou, Ying Li

Patent number: 10950940Abstract: An electronically beam-steerable full-duplex phased array antenna is described. The phased array antenna includes an array of a plurality of radiating elements. The array includes at least one column having a plurality of radiating elements, and the array is configured to generate a radiation field. The phased array antenna includes a metasurface over the array of radiating elements. The metasurface introduces a phase shift to the radiation field of the array, to cause a beam of the phased array antenna to be angularly offset from the radiation field of the array.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventor: Senglee Foo

Patent number: 10932179Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting A-MSDU data transfer in an A-MPDU system includes sending capability information from a first network device, receiving onto the first network device an A-MPDU frame that includes A-MSDU data, and sending an acknowledgment from the first network device. A bit field in the capability information indicates if inclusion of A-MSDU data in an A-MPDU payload is supported. The first network device is a wireless station (STA). The first network device is part of a peer-to-peer network. The A-MSDU is in a data enabled immediate response context. A bit field in the capability information indicates if receiving an A-MPDU frame including A-MSDU data carried in a QoS Data frame without a block acknowledgment agreement is supported.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: MEDIATEK Singapore Pte Ltd.Inventors: Yongho Seok, Chao-Chun Wang, Chih-Shi Yee

Patent number: 10897289Abstract: A signal transmission method includes: processing, by a base station, a first baseband signal, a second baseband signal, a third baseband signal, and a fourth baseband signal by using a VAM matrix, to obtain four processed signals; performing precoding processing on the four processed signals to obtain four coded signals; and sending the four coded signals to a mobile terminal by using four radio frequency ports. The four radio frequency ports are in a one-to-one correspondence with the four coded signals. A first processed signal is the same as a third processed signal, a second processed signal is the same as a fourth processed signal. The first processed signal is obtained by performing superposition on the first baseband signal and the third baseband signal, and the second processed signal is obtained by performing superposition on the second baseband signal and the fourth baseband signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2019Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shuai Chen, Wei Chen, Xiaolong Zhu, Yu Wu
