Patent number: 11678319Abstract: A radio access network (RAN) configured to provide allocations of transmission slots to user equipment (UEs) is described herein. The RAN may receive indicia about RAN conditions or about UEs in a vicinity of the RAN. Responsive to receiving the indicia, the RAN may determine, based at least in part on the indicia, a first allocation of uplink and downlink transmission slots to a first UE and a second allocation of uplink and downlink transmission slots to a second UE. The first allocation may differ from the second allocation. The RAN may then provide the first allocation to the first UE and the second allocation to the second UE.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Wafik Abdel Shahid, Ming Shan Kwok

Patent number: 11659395Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining a preliminary transmission received from a first wireless access terminal of a wireless network, at a mobile terminal, wherein the obtaining of the preliminary transmission occurs before a successful completion of an attachment process between the mobile terminal and the first wireless access terminal, and wherein access to a network resource by the mobile terminal via the wireless network requires a successful completion of the attachment process. A physical relationship is determined between the mobile terminal and the first wireless access terminal according to the preliminary transmission, resulting in a determined physical relationship. The determined physical relationship is compared to a predetermined threshold value to obtain a comparison result and successful completion of the attachment process is prevented based on the comparison result indicating a suspect condition. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignees: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P., AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Vivanco, Tyann Lavender, Thomas W.

Patent number: 11638185Abstract: A cell handover method and a device are provided, so that a target eNB uses a current serving small node as a user plane serving node after a UE is handed over. The UE and uses the target eNB as a control plane serving node after the handover. The method includes receiving a handover request acknowledgment sent by the target eNB; and sending offloading configuration information of the current serving small node to the current serving small node, and sending RRC reconfiguration information of the UE to the UE, so that offloading configuration is performed separately by the current serving small node and the UE. According to the application, a problem that in a cell handover process, a transmission resource required for transmission increases and a delay is relatively great is avoided, because the current serving small node forwards a large amount of data to the target eNB.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mingchao Li, Xin Xiong, Zhenzhen Cao
