Patent number: 11539247Abstract: A power transmitter for wireless power transfer includes a control and communications unit, an inverter circuit, a coil, and a shielding. The control and communications unit is configured to provide power control signals to control a power level of a power signal configured for transmission to a power receiver, provide a power request to an external power supply, determine if a power signal at the coil is compliant with the power request, and, if the power signal at the coil is compliant with the power request, continue to operate for wireless power transmission. The coil is configured to transmit the power signal to a power receiver. The shielding comprises a ferrite core.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: NuCurrent, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Kovacs, Jason Green

Patent number: 11533677Abstract: As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for proactive 5G leg estimation. During an initial access procedure by a user equipment on a 4G leg of a 4G-LTE network, an eNodeB of the 4G-LTE network computes a parameter for the user equipment. Further, the eNodeB of the 4G-LTE network conditionally allows an addition of a 5G leg to the 4G-LTE network for the user equipment, based on the parameter computed for the user equipment.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: AMDOCS DEVELOPMENT LIMITEDInventors: Sagar Tayal, Manish Kumar Singh

Patent number: 11523328Abstract: A method and device are provided for encoding a master information block (MIB), where the MIB includes indication information, the indication information is used by a terminal device to determine a decoding mode for decoding first information, and the first information includes at least one of a system information block (SIB) 1 and system information (SI); and sending an encoded MIB to the terminal device. The terminal device can determine a correct decoding mode for the SIB and the SI according to the indication information before receiving the SIB and the SI, and then the terminal device can decode the SIB and the SI in the correct decoding mode after receiving the SIB and the SI. The terminal device can flexibly decode the SIB and the SI.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Lingchen Huang, Yunfei Qiao, Rong Li, Guijie Wang, Shengchen Dai, Zukang Shen

Patent number: 11510137Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for network slice selection and/or reselection. A WTRU may receive updated assistance information for network slice selection and/or reselection. The WTRU may apply local policies to determine when to use the updated assistance information to access a network slice. The WTRU may determine whether to contact an existing network slice function or a new network slice function to establish a connection to a network slice. Based on the determination, the WTRU may transmit different information to the network. The network slice selection and/or reselection may be initiated by a WTRU or by a network.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: IDAC HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Mahmoud Watfa, Saad Ahmad
