Patent number: 11206705Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for flexible carrier uplink and downlink pairing for 4G, 5G and future networks. Downlink and uplink channels can be assigned to different bands that are not contiguous or bands that have different bandwidths.

Patent number: 10432416Abstract: A method for performing evolved multimedia broadcast and multicast service (eMBMS) counting efficiently in wireless systems is provided. The method includes receiving by a radio link control (RLC) layer of a User Equipment (UE), a Multicast Control Channel (MCCH) packet containing an MBMS counting request from a network. The RLC layer then transfers the MCCH packet to a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the UE. The RRC layer processes the MBMS counting request and generating an MBMS counting response by and transmits an indication for successful reception of the MBMS counting request to the RLC layer. The RLC layer verifies if a subsequent MCCH modification boundary indication is received in a selected MCCH modification period and discards one or more subsequent MCCH packets received in a selected MCCH modification period if the MCCH modification boundary indication is not received from a physical layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2015Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., LtdInventors: Rohan Raj, Vinay Kumar Shrivastava

Patent number: 10405290Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring end-to-end data path delays between a Radio Equipment Controller (REC) and a Radio Equipment (RE) of a base station are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a RE configured to transmit an uplink chirped sine wave signal from the RE to a REC on an uplink data path from the RE to the REC via an asynchronous communication network. The REC is configured to correlate a reference chirped sine wave signal and a received signal from the RE. The REC is further configured to determine an uplink data path delay from the RE to the REC based on results of the correlation of the reference chirped sine wave signal and the received signal from the RE on the uplink data path. In another embodiment, a downlink data path delay is measured in a similar manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventor: Robert Griffioen

Patent number: 10402940Abstract: A method for processing images in an imaging device includes the steps of using real time scalar software (RTSS) for: receiving scalar input data (SID) from video preview application software (VPAS) within a host computer; and performing scaling and cropping operations within the imaging device on raw image frame data to create a scaled down frame (SDF) within the imaging device. As a result, images of high resolution can be transmitted efficiently with significantly reduced amounts of data over the data links, and achieve a high number of frames per second.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Pathway Innovations and Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ji Shen, Bruce Barnes, Hamid Kharrati

Patent number: 10368346Abstract: Various aspects provide for receiving signaling including information configured to indicate whether to adjust a structure of a time-division duplex (TDD) subframe. Such adjusting may include adjusting a time or subcarrier allocated for a control channel, data, and/or a reference signal, such as a user equipment (UE)-specific reference signal (UERS). The UERS may be time-aligned with a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of another TDD subframe. The UERS may be utilized for inter-link multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) when the UERS is orthogonal to the DMRS. Various other aspects provide for communicating one or more pilot or null tones in a data portion of a first TDD subframe. The one or more pilot or null tones may be used to capture interference from a second TDD subframe communicated by another apparatus. The first TDD subframe may be communicated at least partially concurrent with the second TDD subframe.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Tao Luo, Naga Bhushan, Jay Kumar Sundararajan

Patent number: 10194431Abstract: A system for determining location information for a wireless device is described. The system includes a UE, a LE and multiple LMUs. The LE sends, to the LMUs, reception instructions with characteristics of the signal transmission from the UE and each LMU receives, from the LE, the reception instructions. The UE sends a signal transmission. Each LMU receives the transmitted signal from the UE, determines locating information based at least in part of the received signal and sends the locating information to the LE. The LE receives the locating information regarding the transmitted signal and determines a location of the UE based at least in part on the received locating information. Methods, apparatus and computer readable media are also described.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2018Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Wireless Future Technologies Inc.Inventors: Kari Juhani Hooli, Ajit Kahaduwe, Timo Erkki Lunttila, Karri Markus Ranta-Aho, Antti Anton Toskala

Patent number: 10148455Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes multiple processing means that are connected in a ring shape via corresponding communication means respectively. Each communication means includes a reception means for receiving data from a previous communication means, and a transmission means for transmitting data to a next communication means. Connection information is assigned to each of the reception means and the transmission means. The communication means, when receiving a packet that has same connection information as one assigned to its reception means, causes the corresponding processing means to perform data processing on the packet, sets the connection information assigned to its transmission means to the packet, and transmits the packet to the next communication means, and when receiving a packet that has connection information that is not same as one assigned to its reception means, transmits the packet to the next communication means without changing the connection information of the packet.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Hisashi Ishikawa

Patent number: 10149321Abstract: Techniques for procedures using request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) procedures and multiple timers are described. A RTS/CTS procedure using multiple timers may use a first timer and a second timer. The first timer may be associated with a duration to transmit and receive a request to send (RTS) message and a clear to send (CTS) message. The second timer may be associated with a duration to transmit a data message. A network device may transmit a RTS message to request communication resources to transmit data. If the CTS message is not received prior to the expiration of the first timer, neighboring network devices may determine that the communication resources were not allocated and may attempt to request the newly available resources. If a CTS message is received, the network device may communicate the second timer data to the neighboring network devices in a variety of ways.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Muhammad Nazmul Islam, Junyi Li, Sundar Subramanian, Jung Ryu
