  • Patent number: 11924655
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically adjusting a 4G LTE reference signal power level to match a 5G New Radio (NR) coverage footprint to avoid voice over 4G fallback failures for 5G subscribers. Initially, a subscriber making a voice call while in NR coverage may be directed to fall back to LTE in a process known as voice over evolved packet system fallback (VoEPSFB). If the LTE signal strength is worse due to non-optimal settings of the LTE reference signal, the subscriber experiences call setup failure. After the call setup failure, the UE transitions back to the gNodeB. Since the gNodeB knows the UE attempted to fall back to LTE (as well as how soon the UE transitioned back to the gNodeB), a notification is triggered that instructs the LTE base station to increase its reference signal power level.

  • Patent number: 11647542
    Abstract: A terminal is disclosed including a processor that detects, based on a result of sensing in a time window for sensing, one or more resources capable of transmitting a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) signal in a time window for resource selection, wherein the processor selects a resource for transmitting the PSSCH signal from the one or more detected resources; and a transmitter that transmits the PSSCH signal using the selected resource for transmitting the PSSCH signal. The processor autonomously determines a start timing and an end timing of the time window for resource selection from preset timing candidates. An end timing of the time window for sensing is right before the start timing of the time window for resource selection.

  • Patent number: 11553536
    Abstract: Provided are a channel coordination method and apparatus. The method may be used by a first access point (AP) that is currently serving a terminal. In response to determining that a channel needs to be configured for a real-time service initiated by the terminal, the first AP detects a second AP that requires channel coordination. The first AP sends channel coordination request signalling to the second AP, wherein the channel coordination request signalling comprises a designated channel that the first AP requests to coordinate. In response to receiving first channel coordination feedback signalling, which is used for indicating to agree to coordinate the designated channel, sent from the second AP, the first AP determines, according to the first channel coordination feedback signalling, that the second AP agrees to coordinate the designated channel.
