    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable a base-station-initiated grant revoke. The techniques and systems allow a base station to generate and send a grant-revocation message (GRM) to a user equipment (UE) to revoke a scheduled uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) grant from the base station. The base station can transmit the GRM to the UE using a variety of techniques. For example, based on a trigger event, the base station may assign a UE identifier, such as a specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), to the UE and transmit the GRM to the UE using a revoke-physical-downlink-control-channel (R PDCCH) transmission that is associated with the UE identifier. These techniques allow the base station to revoke a scheduled UL or DL grant, which can enable the UE to quickly address timing-critical resource allocation issues and mitigate the effects of adverse operating conditions.

  • Patent number: 11914063
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automated detection of border conflicts in physical radiofrequency (RF) communication network infrastructures. For example, proposed sector antennas in a greenfield physical network deployment may be licensed to radiate in certain spectrum blocks in the mapped licensed geographic regions (mLGR) where they are located, but the licenses may not permit radiated power in those spectrum blocks to cross into adjacent mLGRs. Embodiments compute radiation contours for the sector antennas indicating estimated local power levels computed based on antenna characteristics of the sector antennas and propagation model data that defines geographic morphologies for the mLGRs. The radiation contours are analyzed to detect any border conflict conditions where the estimated local power levels exceed defined threshold radiation levels in unlicensed regions. A culprit set of the sector antennas can be output to indicate those responsible for detected border conflict conditions.

  • Patent number: 11902820
    Abstract: A wireless access point (WAP) supports one or more physical layer (PHY) operational parameters which can be restricted from use to lessen congestion within a wireless network (WN). The WAP periodically transmits a management frame to enable one or more communication devices to establish and/or maintain communication with the WAP. The wireless network can restrict one or more of the one or more PHY operational parameters, such as PHY data rates to provide an example, that are supported by the WAP from being utilized for communicating the management frame. This restriction of the one or more PHY operational parameters allows the WAP to periodically transmit the management frame at an increased PHY data rate thereby decreasing time needed for communicating the management frame which can lessen the congestion within the WN.
