    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide communication methods and systems. One method comprises receiving, from a first access network device, signaling destined for a terminal device, wherein the terminal device is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive mode. A first paging message is sent to a second access network device for paging the terminal device and first indication information is received indicating that the terminal device is connected to a second access network device. After receiving the signaling destined for the terminal device, the first access network device can learn the terminal device has connected to the second access network device, and therefore performs proper subsequent processing.

  • Patent number: 11751030
    Abstract: To improve the accuracy of a trigger-based commissioning in a high dense network without leveraging an optical link, a separate beacon tag (400) is employed to assist the commissioning procedure between a node (200) and a commissioning device (300). A trigger event is detected at the node (200) side when its local identification number is equal to the identification number comprised in a second type of beacon received from the beacon tag (400), and the proximity of the beacon tag (400) is determined to be below a local threshold. Upon the detection of such a trigger event, the node (200) updates its first type of beacons to notify the commissioning device 300 about the trigger event. And then, the commissioning device (300) confirms the trigger event and sends a request for commissioning to the node (200).

  • Patent number: 11743840
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Some wireless communications systems may support communication between a user equipment (UE) and a base station on multiple carriers (i.e., carrier aggregation). In some cases, the UE may be scheduled to transmit uplink signals on the different component carriers during transmission time intervals (TTIs) that have different durations. In such cases, it may be appropriate for the UE to determine a maximum transmit power limit relating to the amount of power used for the uplink transmissions on the multiple carriers. As described herein, the UE may identify one of the component carriers as a reference component carrier, and the UE may determine the maximum transmit power limit for a duration of a TTI associated with the reference component carrier. The UE may then transmit on the multiple carriers in compliance with the maximum transmit power limit.

  • Patent number: 11743864
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for maintaining, between a user equipment (UE) and a component of a base station (BS), a mutual understanding of a set of linked physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates if the UE selects to monitor a subset of the linked PDCCH candidates. In one aspect, the UE may monitor the subset of the linked PDCCH candidates, and the UE and the component of the BS may select a reference PDCCH candidate from which to define scheduling information in accordance with the UE monitoring the subset of the linked PDCCH candidates. In some examples, the UE and the component of the BS may select the reference PDCCH candidate in accordance with one or more mutually understood rules or procedures such that the UE and the component of the BS may select a same reference PDCCH candidate.

  • Patent number: 11743968
    Abstract: Proposed are a method by which a first device performs wireless communication, and an apparatus supporting same. For example, the first device may obtain a sidelink discontinuous reception configuration including information related to an SL DRX timer. For example, the first device may obtain information related to a scheduling request configuration for a SL channel state information reporting medium access control control element (CE). For example, the first device may determine the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE as an SR configuration for an SL DRX command MAC CE. For example, the first device may transmit, to the base station, an SR for requesting a resource for the SL DRX command MAC CE, based on the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE. For example, the first device may transmit, to the second device, the SL DRX command MAC CE, based on the resource.
