  • Patent number: 11418998
    Abstract: A wireless device, a network node, a core node and methods for handling radio communication of data between the wireless device and the network node in a wireless network. The network node transmits system information related to availability of a potential data bearer dedicated for data tolerating a certain delivery delay, which is received by the wireless device in idle or inactive mode. The wireless device determines whether the potential data bearer is available, based on the system information. When available, the wireless device initiates a transition from idle/inactive mode to connected mode and communicates the data over the potential data bearer. When the potential data bearer is unavailable, the wireless device stays in the idle/inactive mode. When the data is downlink data, the core node sends a paging message indicating a potential data class.

  • Patent number: 10658759
    Abstract: The embodiments herein provide a system and method for terrestrial to terrestrial or terrestrial and space or space to space communication systems, with millimeter waves. The system enables narrow angle beam and wide angle beam communication between receivers and transmitters that are in relative motion with other receivers and transmitters in the system. The system provides uninterrupted service and good spectrum utilization by combining Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA) and Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) technologies. The system minimizes overall power required by a communication system by dynamically enabling and disabling specific channels based on user-availability and need. The system also increases or decreases power based on channel quality in order to maintain desired bit-rate of communication. The system also covers a large service area through a plurality of narrow angle signal beams.
