Patent number: 12206754Abstract: A method and apparatus according to the present invention addresses and/or prevents lost protocol synchronization in HARQ systems caused by ACK/NACK errors. One embodiment detects lost synchronization errors for NDI-based retransmission protocols and restores synchronization by sending an explicit RESET message. In response to the RESET message, the transmitter aborts the transmission of a current PDU and transmits a new PDU and corresponding NDI. Another embodiment prevents protocol synchronization errors by sending scheduling grants on a packet by packet basis. The receiver sends a subsequent explicit scheduling grant to the transmitter based on an error evaluation of a received PDU. The transmitter will not send the next PDU unless it receives the subsequent explicit scheduling grant.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2023Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Janne Peisa, Michael Meyer, Johan Torsner, Stefan Parkvall, Magnus Stattin, Mats Sagfors

Patent number: 12207117Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for determination of user presence and absence using WiFi connections. Reports may be received from WiFi access points in an environment. The reports may include an identifier of a WiFi device, an indication of a connection to or disconnection from a WiFi access point, a time of the connection or disconnection, and an identifier of the WiFi access point. A connection sequence for the WiFi device may be generated from the reports. Whether the WiFi device is present in or absent from the environment as of a specified time may be determined based on the connection sequence. An indication of presence for a user associated with the WiFi device may generated if the WiFi device is present in the environment. An indication of absence for the user associated with the WiFi device may be generated if the WiFi device is absent from the environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2023Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Marci Meingast, Andrew Axley, Daniele Midi
