  • Patent number: 11963216
    Abstract: A method can be used for channel access in an industrial wireless network. A network controller allocates time/frequency resource units in a set of guaranteed timeslots to packet transceivers in the industrial wireless network. The guaranteed timeslots are timewise divided into slots and frequency wise divided into channels, where one slot-channel pair defines one time/frequency resource unit. The network controller provides to the packet transceivers information about the time/frequency resource units allocated to the packet transceivers. The packet transceivers map packets of their own traffic flows to their allocated time/frequency resource units in each set of guaranteed timeslots. The packets for each packet transceiver are mapped according to priority-based scheduling of its own traffic flows and independently of any mapping of packets of other packet transceivers in the industrial wireless network.

  • Patent number: 11765233
    Abstract: A communication device includes a parameter setter and a communication controller for cyclic communication to transmit data including a first data piece and a second data piece different from the first data piece and having lower priority for real-time transmission than the first data piece to slave stations. The parameter setter presets a number of divisions n to divide the second data piece before the cyclic communication is started. The communication controller transmits the first data piece to a first slave station in one cycle, divides the second data piece by the number of divisions n, and transmits the divided second data piece to a second slave station in n cycles, where n is the number of divisions. The communication controller transmits, before transmitting the second data piece, data indicating the number of divisions n set by the parameter setter to the second slave station.

  • Patent number: 11736180
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to devices, systems and methods for multi-beam formation. A user equipment (UE) may determine a sampling interval for references signals to be transmitted by a base station for an upcoming control or data communication. For example, the UE may determine a maximum sampling interval tolerable for channel estimation and select the sampling interval based on the maximum. In some examples, the UE determines the sampling interval based on characteristics of its motion. The UE transmits an indication of the sampling interval to the base station. Based on the indication, the base station selects an interval for the reference signals and transmits the reference signals to the UE to enable it to perform the channel estimation for the multi-beam. The base station may determine to select the interval for the reference signals such that it is less than or equal to the sampling interval indicated by the UE.
