A narrowband (NB) subframe may span a portion of the selected WB micro-frame in the frequency-domain, and the selected WB micro-frame may overlap at least a portion of the NB subframe in the time-domain. The WB signal and an NB signal may be transmitted over the WB micro-frame and the NB subframe in accordance with a first numerology and a second numerology, respectively. A WB subframe may be divided into a plurality of micro-frames. The transmission direction of the WB micro-frame may be scheduled according to a transmission rule based on the contents of a payload in the NB subframe.

  • Patent number: 11683788
    Abstract: A method includes allocating, by a communications controller, a first set of resource blocks to an enhanced physical downlink shared channel (ePDSCH), where the ePDSCH has a first starting point and allocating, by the communications controller, a second set of resource blocks to an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH). The method also includes identifying, by the communications controller, a second starting point for the ePDSCH, where the second starting point for the ePDSCH is located within a legacy control region, where the first starting point of the ePDCCH is located within the legacy control region, and where the second starting point of the ePDSCH is different than the first starting point of the ePDCCH. Additionally, the method includes signaling, by the communications controller to a user equipment (UE) the second starting point and a number of the second set of resource blocks allocated to the ePDSCH.

  • Patent number: 11678195
    Abstract: An improved lawful intercept (LI) infrastructure is described. In response to a valid LI provisioning request, a subscriber management component statically allocates a user equipment (UE) subject to the LI provisioning request to an edge location comprising a high-speed gateway and a Mediation and Delivery Function (MDF), which coordinates the delivery of intercepted communications. The subscriber management component maintains this allocation for the life of the LI provisioning request and reverses the UE to a dynamic gateway allocation scheme when the LI provisioning request ends. As a result, only a subset of edge locations must be equipped with MDFs, and the handover is transparent to the UE.
