Patent number: 11706737Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit multiple repetitions of a paging early indication (PEI) signal to a user equipment (UE) to indicate that the UE is to receive paging signaling in a paging occasion. In some cases, a PEI occasion for transmitting a PEI repetition may have a scheduling conflict. For example, a PEI occasion may collide with other downlink signaling. A UE may implement techniques to resolve scheduling conflicts or collisions for PEI repetitions. For example, the UE may be configured to receive either colliding PEI signaling or colliding downlink signaling based on priorities of the signaling. Additionally, or alternatively, PEI signaling may be shifted (e.g., delayed) until after the downlink signaling ends. In some cases, a UE may be configured with a subset of blind decoding hypotheses for PEI decoding.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Huilin Xu, Le Liu, Wooseok Nam, Yuchul Kim, Ozcan Ozturk, Hung Dinh Ly

Patent number: 11705931Abstract: Methods and systems for interference management are described. Methods and systems can be used for minimizing interference among communication and/or electronic devices. Interference data can be gathered/received from interference sources such as weather and natural patterns, various electronic devices, and one or more network protocols. The interference data can be used to generate interference patterns of each interference source in an interference map. The interference map can be used to determine how a particular interference pattern can affect a system. The interference map can also be used to evaluate a new source of interference (e.g., cordless phones, weather conditions) to determine how a system can be affected. The interference data can also be associated with an interference signature (e.g., an interference pattern, a fingerprint) for an interference source in a database. The database can be used based on the interference signature to identify known and/or unknown interference sources.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLCInventors: Erami Botchway, Phillip Chang, Mark Francisco, Jim Poder, Jorge Salinger

Patent number: 11698453Abstract: A cellular network system and method provided herein are directed to generating an area topographic map of a surrounding area of the cellular network system. The cellular network system comprises a transmitter, a receiver, memory, and one or more processors (processors) communicatively coupled to the transmitter, the receiver, and the memory. The memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processors, perform certain operations. The transmitter transmits in a target direction a first signal, which is a communication signal intended for a user equipment (UE) and the receiver receives a second signal. The processors determine whether the second signal is a reflected signal associated with the first signal, determine topographic data associated with the surrounding area of the cellular network system in the target direction based at least in part on the second signal, and generate the area topographic map of the surrounding area based on the topographic data.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Gapin, Paul Bongaarts

Patent number: 11688037Abstract: Systems and methods that yield highly-accurate classification of acoustic and other non-image events, involving pre-processing data from one or more transducers and generating a visual representation of the source as well as associated features and processing, are disclosed. According to certain exemplary implementations herein, such pre-processing steps may be utilized in situations where 1) all impulsive acoustic events have many features in common due to their point source origin and impulsive nature, and/or 2) the error rates that are considered acceptable in general purpose image classification are much higher than the acceptable levels in automatic impulsive incident classification. Further, according to some aspects, the data may be pre-processed in various ways, such as to remove extraneous or irrelevant details and/or perform any required rotation, alignment, scaling, etc. tasks, such that these tasks do not need to be “learned” in a less direct and more expensive manner in the neural network.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: ShotSpotter, Inc.Inventors: Robert B.

Patent number: 11671457Abstract: Techniques are described for providing on-premises action execution agents used to execute orchestration, automation, and response (OAR) actions in users' IT environments. An on-premises action execution agent can be used to execute actions involving computing resources located in users' on-premises IT environments, where such resources may be located behind a firewall and thus not directly accessible to an IT and security operations application running in a cloud-based environment or elsewhere. An intermediary secure tunnel service is used to establish secure connections between an IT and security operations application and on-premises action execution agents, thereby enabling the encrypted transfer of credentials, API tokens, and other sensitive information used by an on-premises action execution agent to execute actions. The executed actions can include on-demand actions initiated by a user and automated actions included, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Anne Yeh, Jeffery Roberts

Patent number: 11665567Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for adapting measurement reporting in a wireless communication network (10) employing carrier aggregation. In order to reduce beam link failures, the UE (200, 500) is configured to adapt measurement reporting for a serving cell (20) depending on a beam link quality of one or more serving downlink beams in the serving cell (20). For example, measurement reporting can be adapted by modifying a reporting frequency at which measurements for one or more downlink beams are sent, by varying a number of non-serving downlink beams for which measurements are sent, or both.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Min Wang, Jinhua Liu
