Patent number: 12267723Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Aspects of the disclosure relate to enhanced load reporting between network entities (e.g., provided by a distributed unit (DU) to a centralized unit (CU) or by a CU to another CU). In some examples, the CU may provide one or more triggering events which may be used by the DU (or a second CU) to trigger the provisioning of a load report to the CU. Accordingly, the DU (or second CU) may be able to initiate a load report without relying on periodic reporting criteria. In some examples, the DU may initiate a load report to the CU without being configured with triggering events. In some examples, a DU may report measurements made associated with a communications load involving communications with both a parent network entity (e.g., a CU) and at least one child network entity (e.g., a user equipment).Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Navid Abedini, Naeem Akl, Rajeev Kumar

Patent number: 12262422Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) procedure for the random access channel (RACH) response message in a two-step RACH procedure. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes sending a RACH message to a base station (BS) during a two-step RACH procedure. The RACH message includes a RACH preamble and a RACH payload. The UE monitors a RACH response message from the BS during a random access response (RAR) window. The UE transmits a retransmission of the RACH message, an acknowledgement (ACK) to the RACH response message, a negative acknowledgment (NACK) to the RACH response message, or does not transmit, to the BS based on whether a RACH response message carrying a success RAR or a fallback RAR, or no RACH response message, is received from the BS during the window.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jing Lei, Yi Huang, Wanshi Chen, Linhai He, Ruiming Zheng, Peter Gaal, Joseph Binamira Soriaga
