In the base station, a control unit establishes a scale of the PDCCH region, and a transmission region establishing unit establishes, on the basis of a scale value established by the control unit, a mapping region to which the DCI is mapped within the R-PDCCH region and the PDCCH region.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Sun Patent TrustInventors: Akihiko Nishio, Seigo Nakao, Ayako Horiuchi, Yasuaki Yuda, Sujuan Feng, Michael Einhaus

Patent number: 11477712Abstract: This document describes methods, devices, systems, procedures, and means of maintaining communication and signaling interfaces during network role transitions, such as a secondary node change or a handover. A source secondary base station holds a source donor Central Unit (Source CU) for its own Distributed Unit (source DU) and for the Distributed Unit(s) of the node base station(s) (node DU). The source secondary base station connects to the node base station via a first F1 interface. The node DU triggers handover of the node base station and connected User Equipment (UE) from the source secondary base station to a target secondary base station. The node base station creates Transport Network Layer (TNL) connectivity toward a target donor Central Unit (Target CU) and exchanges application layer configuration data with the Target CU via a wireless backhaul link implemented utilizing the TNL connectivity.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventor: Ching-Jung Hsieh

Patent number: 11470666Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may experience poor communication with a network access device, and the network access device may configure the UE to connect to, and route communications through, one or more relay nodes (e.g., which may be another UE, a network operator-deployed relay, etc.). Techniques are described whereby these relay nodes may autonomously form a wireless backhaul network. Sequential implementations are considered such that the size of the wireless backhaul network may scale efficiently. In some examples, the wireless backhaul network may form by reusing existing connectivity establishment procedures. Importantly, the proposed techniques enable a relay to possess (e.g., be configured with) functionality that may traditionally be associated with a UE, base station, and gateway. Such multi-faceted functionality may enable the described sequential formation of wireless backhaul networks with tree topology.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Karl Georg Hampel, Hong Cheng, Soo Bum Lee, Gavin Bernard Horn, Vincent Douglas Park

Patent number: 11469855Abstract: A method of transmitting a data payload from one or more network nodes. The method includes transmitting a first data packet from a network node of the one or more network nodes and subsequently transmitting a second data packet from the network node of the one or more network nodes. The first data packet includes a set of blocks arranged in a first order and the second data packet including the set of blocks arranged in a second order that is different from the first order. Each block of the set of blocks includes a different section of the data payload and the sections of the data payload included by blocks of the set of blocks together define the entire data payload.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Usman Raza, Michael Baddeley, Aleksandar Stanoev

Patent number: 11464027Abstract: System and method of cooperative multi-band wireless STA communication that enables full duplex operations. Frames are configured to carry band information and are selected to be transmitted simultaneously in multiple bands based on various constraints to avoid out-of-order delivery. For frames under a block ACK agreement, a transmit STA can specify the transmission bands for the frames in an ADDBA request frame. While a first band is transmitting a first frame under a block ACK agreement, the second band can be used to transmit a frame under the same block ACK agreement as, and from the same traffic flow with, the first frame. Otherwise, the second band can only be used to transmit a frame with a different TID than the first frame.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: MEDIATEK SINGAPORE PTE.

Patent number: 11463154Abstract: An active repeater device includes a primary sector and one or more secondary sectors, receives a first beam of input RF signals. A first set of analog baseband signals, are generated based on received first beam of input RF signals. The first set of analog baseband signals are converted to a first set of coded data signals and control information is extracted from the first set of coded data signals by decoding only a header portion of the first set of coded data signals without demodulation of data portion of the first set of coded data signals. Based on the extracted control information, the first set of coded data signals are transmitted as beams of output RF signals to remote user equipment. The transmission is independent of demodulation of the data portion within the active repeater device to reduce latency for transmission of the first set of coded data signals.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Movandi CorporationInventors: Sam Gharavi, Ahmadreza Rofougaran, Michael Boers, Seunghwan Yoon, Kartik Sridharan, Donghyup Shin, Farid Shirinfar, Stephen Wu, Maryam Rofougaran
