  • Patent number: 11676427
    Abstract: The disclosure describes embodiments for modifying a vehicle component of an ego vehicle based on ranging and misbehavior information determined from digital data included in a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) message. In some embodiments, a method includes generating Received Signal Strength (RSS) data describing an RSS value for the V2X message which is originated by a remote vehicle. The method includes determining range data corresponding to the RSS value describing a first range from the ego vehicle to the remote vehicle. The method includes determining that the remote vehicle is providing inaccurate sensor data (an example of misbehavior information) by comparing the first range to a second range which is described by the sensor data which is extracted from the V2X message. The method includes modifying an operation of the vehicle component so that the vehicle component does not consider the sensor data that is provided by the remote vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11671158
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that support beam failure determination based on a dynamic range of transmission power ratios between two reference signals (e.g., between a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)). A wireless device may identify the dynamic range of transmission power ratios that may be used by a base station (e.g., via indications of maximum and minimum transmission power ratios, indications of one or more offsets from some average transmission power ratio, etc. sent from the base station). The wireless device may use the identified dynamic range of transmission power ratios, along with a CSI-RS measurement, to determine a range of hypothetical block error rates (BLERs). Values within the range of hypothetical BLERs may be compared to a threshold in order to determine a beam failure status (e.g., a beam failure).

  • Patent number: 11039002
    Abstract: Context sensitive communication augmentation is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can receive a trigger related to determining a context of a UE. The trigger can be manual, automatic, or remote. In response to receiving the trigger, the context of the UE can be determined based on sensor data. The sensor data can be received from a sensor of the UE or another sensor. Based on the context of the UE, a metric related to a communication modality of the UE can be determined. The metric can be communicated to another device. Information related to the context of the UE, including location information, can be communicated to the other device. A communication modality can be selected based on the metric relate to the UE and communication modalities of the other device. The metric can be updated based on changes in the context of the UE, allowing for updating the communication modality.
