Patent number: 11178608Abstract: Disclosed is a method that decodes a broadcast channel to obtain first system information periodically broadcasted from a base station; applies at least one cell selection parameter indicated in the first system information to camp on a cell served by the base station and storing the first system information; accesses the camped cell based on at least one random access parameter indicated in the first system information; and determines whether at least one of a system information block of second system information available in the camped cell is provided based on at least one of the periodic broadcast and an on-demand basis. The on-demand basis to deliver the corresponding system information block of the second system information available in the camped cell is decided based on at least one of an indication and a flag included in the first system information for the system information block.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Inventors: Mangesh Abhimanyu Ingale, Anil Agiwal

Patent number: 11178511Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and device for positioning a communication device. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the communication device may determine, without phase information of the signals, a direction of other communication device based on an association between strength levels of signals received from the other communication device and angles at which the signals are received for better accuracy. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the communication device may determine the direction of the other communication device without phase information of the received signals based on MUSIC algorithm. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the method may also be implemented in a multipath scenario.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES OYInventors: Fei Gao, Jinxing Lu, Chaojun Xu, Gang Shen

Patent number: 11178658Abstract: Proposed is a method of performing wireless communication by a first apparatus. The method may include receiving first control information on a first search space related to the first control information, and receiving second control information on a second search space related to the second control information. For example, the first search space related to the first control information may overlap with the second search space related to the second control information, based on that a base station allocates a resource related to sidelink transmission to the first apparatus in a carrier in which Uu communication is performed.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Seungmin Lee, Hanbyul Seo, Daesung Hwang
