  • Patent number: 11226920
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for a training procedure that identifies a frame boundary and generates a frame clock to identify the beginning and the end of a frame. After the frame training procedure is complete, a memory device may be configured to execute a frame synchronization procedure to identify the beginning of a frame based on the frame clock without the use of headers or other information within the frame during an active session of the memory device. During an activation time period after a power-up event, the memory device may initiate the frame training procedure. Once the frames are synchronized, the memory device may be configured to use that frame clock during an entire active session (e.g., until a power-down event) to identify the beginning of a frame as part of a frame synchronization procedure.

  • Patent number: 10841042
    Abstract: Example HARQ-based transmission methods and apparatus are provided, to meet transmission requirements of different services. In one example method, a network device receives a QoS parameter that is of a service corresponding to a service request and that is delivered by a core network device. The network device determines, based on the QoS parameter of the service, a HARQ configuration parameter corresponding to the service, and notifies the HARQ configuration parameter to the terminal device. Therefore, when different services are transmitted between the network device and the terminal device, different HARQ configuration parameters are configured for different services, and data transmission and retransmission of a service are performed based on a configured HARQ configuration parameter, so that transmission requirements of different services can be met.

  • Patent number: 10834705
    Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless discovery and connectivity in 802.11 networks. A management frame from an access point (AP) or personal basic service set (PBSS) control point (PCP) indicates which designated channels are operating and which are non-operating, for purposes of subsequent wireless communications, such as Association Beamforming Training (A-BFT). The management frame contains a bitmap or other forms for indicating which of the designated channels are operating and which are non-operating. In response to the information received through the management frame, one or more stations (STA) can select any one of the operating channels for transmitting of frames in A-BFT communication or other access periods in the Beacon Interval.

  • Patent number: 10805342
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for automated malfeasance detection. Dedicated communication channels are established between a computing device system of a first entity and a computing device system of a service provider, where the service provider manages, operates, or is otherwise associated with certain web pages. The presence of a malfeasance within one of these web pages of the service provider is detected, and a malfeasance report is generated in response to detecting the malfeasance. This malfeasance report includes an automatic malfeasance remediation action that, when transmitted to the computing device system of the service provider, causes the computing device system of the service provider to automatically execute one or more actions that are responsive to the malfeasance.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a distributed antenna system including a host unit and an active antenna unit (AAU). The AAU is configured to wirelessly communicate with, and to receive uplink radio frequency (RF) signals from, one or more wireless devices. The AAU is further configured to sample the uplink RF signals to generate digitized RF data. The AAU includes an Ethernet interface for receiving Internet Protocol (IP) formatted data from an IP device coupled to the Ethernet interface. The AAU is configured to transport the digitized RF data and the IP formatted data over a transport signal to the host unit, the transport signal including a plurality of bits. The AAU is configured to adaptively adjust the number of bits that are allocated to the digitized RF data and the number of bits that are allocated to the IP formatted data.

  • Patent number: 10795406
    Abstract: In the case where multiple individual work devices respectively executing a sequence of multiple tasks are controlled in an integrated manner by an integrated control device, log analysis among the multiple individual work devices is difficult. One of four individual work devices transmits time inquiry signal to main integrated control device via serial communication cable. Main integrated control device returns the time at time at which time inquiry signal was received to the one of four individual work devices to which time inquiry signal was transmitted. One of four individual work devices receives a reply from main integrated control device at time, adds the communication time to the time at time, and calculates the time at time. One of four individual work devices starts the calculation of the in-device time from calculated time as a starting point. One of four individual work devices logs based on in-device time.

  • Patent number: 10790940
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a negative acknowledgement (NACK) corresponding to a failed communication from a first transmission/reception point (TRP) included in a coordinated multipoint network. The UE may monitor a control channel associated with a second TRP included in the coordinated multipoint network based at least in part on transmitting the NACK, wherein the first TRP and the second TRP use different frequency bands. The UE may receive a retransmission of the failed communication based at least in part on monitoring the control channel. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Patent number: 10757686
    Abstract: Disclosed are a data transmission method, device, and system, which are used for resolving the problem of large overhead if an existing manner of sending a public message periodically is used in an ultra-dense network. The method comprises: user equipment sends an uplink request message, the uplink request message being used for requesting for obtaining public information of a first access node in an area in which the user equipment is located; and the user equipment receives the public information sent by the first access node. Because an access node in an area in which user equipment is located does not need to broadcast and send public information periodically, the access node can send, based on an uplink request of the user equipment, the public information, thereby improving the resource utilization and reducing the energy consumption.

  • Patent number: RE48717
    Abstract: A type 1 system and a type 2 system are classified according to whether carrier aggregation is used. A shared component carrier is used for both a type 1 terminal and a type 2 terminal, whereas a dedicated component carrier is used only for the type 2 terminal. Also, a type 2 base station transmits broadcast information by using a shared component carrier. In this instance, the broadcast information includes the shared broadcast information used for both the type 1 terminal and the type 2 terminal and the dedicated broadcast information only for the type 2 terminal. Also, the type 2 base station indicates component carriers that are used by the type 2 terminal, by using a semi-static component carrier indicator or a dynamic component carrier indicator.
