Patent number: 11197308Abstract: A wireless user equipment (UE) device is configured to communicate with another UE via device-to-device (D2D) communications. The UE transmits a communication to the other UE, wherein the communication indicates scheduling of a shared spectrum resource. The shared spectrum resource is shared by a first network management operator (NMO) and a second NMO, wherein both the UE and the other UE are associated with the first NMO. The first NMO employs a first set of spatial channels in the shared spectrum resource, and a second set of spatial channels in the shared spectrum resource is made available for use by the second NMO, the second set being different from the first set. The UE communicates with the other UE over the first set of spatial channels.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Genghiscomm Holdings, LLCInventor: Steve Shattil

Patent number: 11153926Abstract: According to one example embodiment, a method in a user equipment, UE, includes receiving a request from a radio access network for a measurement report for an application operating at a layer above a radio resource control, RRC, protocol layer. The UE generates the measurement report in response to the request and determines a current RRC connected state of the UE when the measurement report is ready to be sent. In response to determining that the current RRC connected state of the UE is not a CELL_DCH RRC state, the UE sends a cell update message to the radio access network and receives instructions from the radio access network to transition to the CELL_DCH RRC state. The UE transitions to the CELL_DCH RRC state and transmits the measurement report while the UE is in the CELL_DCH RRC state. Related user equipment nodes, radio access nodes and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2017Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Waikwok Kwong, Cecilia Eklöf
