Patent number: 11805460Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive data from both a source base station and a target base station during handover. For example, the UE may refrain from resetting or reestablishing media access control (MAC) and packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer configurations until after a successful access procedure is performed with the target base station. In some cases, a single radio link control (RLC)/PDCP stack may be used during handover procedures. A source base station may, for example, forward data to a target base station after receiving a handover execution message. A UE may identify and resolve any duplicate data sent by both base stations during the transition. Additional signaling may be used (e.g., during the radio resource control (RRC) configuration) to indicate that a UE supports dual link handover.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ozcan Ozturk, Jun Wang, Ravindra Manohar Patwardhan, Abhijit Khobare, Ajay Gupta, Madhavan Srinivasan Vajapeyam

Patent number: 11800414Abstract: A first base station may receive, from a second base station, cell configuration parameters of one or more cells of the second base station. The cell configuration parameters may indicating at least one first information element (IE) indicating a first identifier of a first cell of the one or more cells, at least one second IE indicating that the first cell is an unlicensed cell, and at least one third IE indicating radio frequency channel number of the unlicensed cell. The first base station may send, to the second base station, a handover request message for a wireless device after receiving the cell configuration parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Ofinno, LLCInventors: Kyungmin Park, Esmael Dinan, Alireza Babaei

Patent number: 11792131Abstract: A method and a system for traffic load balancing between a multipath-capable receiver within an administrative domain and a multipath-capable sender outside of the administrative domain, performed by at least one processor. The method includes identifying available access networks receiving media streams, accepting steering rules from the administrative domain, incrementing a counter that measures the amount of media streams arriving on the available access networks during a measurement interval, adjusting a delay value based on a timer value, the total amount of media arriving on the access networks, and the steering rules. The timer value may be set to the measurement interval and the measurement interval may be provided in the steering rules. Then, the method includes the multipath-capable sender sending acknowledgments which are delayed according to the adjusted delay value.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: TENCENT AMERICA LLCInventors: Paul Spencer Dawkins, Stephan Wenger

Patent number: 11792782Abstract: A wireless user equipment (UE) device is configured to communicate with another UE via device-to-device (D2D) communications. The UE transmits a communication to the other UE, wherein the communication indicates scheduling of a shared spectrum resource. The shared spectrum resource is shared by a first network management operator (NMO) and a second NMO, wherein both the UE and the other UE are associated with the first NMO. The first NMO employs a first set of spatial channels in the shared spectrum resource, and a second set of spatial channels in the shared spectrum resource is made available for use by the second NMO, the second set being different from the first set. The UE communicates with the other UE over the first set of spatial channels.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Tybalt, LLCInventor: Steve Shattil

Patent number: 11792694Abstract: When initiating a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) communication session between an originating device (MO) and a terminating device (MT) on a packet-switched network, network components associated with the MO may encounter a failure when preparing resources for the session, such as a failure to establish a dedicated bearer with the MO. This might typically cause the system to abort the session. Instead, the network components are configured to detect the failure and to initiate a handover to a circuit-switched communication network so that the session may be conducted through the circuit-switched communication network. The failure may be detected by a component of a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Radio Access Network (RAN) of the network, by a Mobility Management Entity (MME) of the network, or by some other network component. Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) procedures may be used to implement the handover.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Kun Lu, Alan Denis MacDonald, Egil Gronstad, Hsin-Fu Henry Chiang, A.

Patent number: 11778524Abstract: Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards a wireless terminal and base station, and corresponding methods therein, for providing a handover for a subset of bearers associated with the wireless terminal. The subset of bearers is less than a total number of bearers associated with the wireless terminal. Thus, upon the completion of the handover procedure, at least one bearer will stay connected with a source base station.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Oumer Teyeb, Angelo Centonza, Fredrik Gunnarsson, Niklas Johansson, Stefan Wager, Pontus Wallentin

Patent number: 11778521Abstract: A system is proposed to provide handover in a mobile telecommunications environment, particularly applicable to 3GPP networks, which does not increase signalling overhead but minimises user data loss during handover. In the modified system, PDCP SDUs with Sequence numbers are buffered and retransmitted as necessary. At the time of handover, SDUs not received by the user device are forwarded to the target base station for forward transmission to the UE. The handover procedure is designed to minimise packet loss whilst keeping to a minimum the duplication of packet transmission over the air interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Jagdeep Singh Ahluwalia
