  • Patent number: 12082185
    Abstract: This application provides a pending SR cancellation method and an apparatus. In the method, when a specific condition is met, a terminal cancels a pending SR triggered by an uplink BSR, and when some other conditions are met, the terminal cancels a pending SR triggered by a sidelink BSR. In other words, the terminal may independently cancel the SR triggered by the uplink BSR and the SR triggered by the sidelink BSR. When canceling the SR triggered by the uplink BSR, the terminal may not cancel the SR triggered by the sidelink BSR, so that when sidelink data has a relatively high latency requirement.

  • Patent number: 12016047
    Abstract: The technology described herein improves communication quality and device efficiency by selecting an access technology for use in a communication session between a user equipment (UE) and a communication network. The access technologies may be selected by a network node (e.g., eNodeB) based on a geographic location of the UE within a service area. In some geographic areas, the 5G leg may perform below a threshold quality measure, while the LTE leg performs well. In these situations, maintaining a communication session with only the LTE leg may yield a better overall performance (e.g., data throughput) than using the combination of a 5G leg and an LTE leg. The first step of the selection process is identifying geographic areas with below threshold 5G performance. Once the geographic subunits are designated as high or low performing, the designations are used to determine whether LTE and 5G should be used in combination.

  • Patent number: 11930445
    Abstract: A network device for providing single-carrier quadrature amplitude modulation (SC-QAM) downstream channel fast pre-scanning. An orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) downstream (DS) channel scan in a foreground process and a single-carrier quadrature amplitude modulation (SC-QAM) DS channel scan in a background process are simultaneously performed. When a first OFDM downstream channel is locked onto, OFDM downstream channel is paused while scanning for SC-QAM downstream channels continues. SC-QAM DS channels identified in the background process are stored in a table. Based on a scan of all OFDM channels and failure to lock onto any OFDM DS channels, the SC-QAM DS channel scan in the background process is stopped and a normal SC-QAM DS channel scan is started. SC-QAM DS channels in the table are scanned first to provide fast pre-scanning. A modem becomes operational with a qualified SC-QAM DS channel obtained from the table.
