  • Patent number: 11832334
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A semi-independent discontinuous reception (DRX) group configuration for a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate on at least a primary DRX group (PDG) and a secondary DRX group (SDG). The UE and a base station may implement a DRX coupling rule to ensure the PDG is in an active mode when the SDG is in an active mode. In some examples, the PDG, the SDG, or both may be configured for DRX long cycles, DRX short cycles, or both. The UE may determine active or inactive mode timers of each semi-independent DRX group. In some cases, the UE may trigger or extend an active mode of the PDG when an SDG active mode is triggered. Additionally, the UE may end an active mode of the SDG when an active mode of the PDG expires.

  • Patent number: 11632739
    Abstract: Solutions for focused cellular network paging of a user equipment (UE) include: detecting, by a network, a network exit of the UE from a last known cell and an exit condition for the UE; determining, by the network, a network paging condition; based on at least the last known cell and the exit condition for the UE, determining, by the network, a set of priority paging cells; paging the UE with the set of priority paging cells; and based on at least failing to receive a response by paging the UE with the set of priority paging cells, paging the UE with a larger set of cells. In some examples, the network topology is also used for determining the set of priority paging cells. By starting with the set of priority paging cells, rather than wider global paging, fewer cells are used for paging, thereby saving network bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 11622282
    Abstract: Various arrangements for operating a cellular network with advanced secondary operator privacy are presented herein. A first set of user equipment may communicate using a first radio unit and a first radio spectrum with a cellular network. A second set of user equipment may communicate with the cellular network using a second radio unit and a second radio spectrum. The second radio unit may be operated by a secondary operator distinct from the cellular network operator. The second radio unit may encrypt the second communications such that the cellular network cannot decrypt the second communications. The cellular network, can route the encrypted second communications of the second cellular network slice from the second radio unit to a data center operated by the secondary operator separate and distinct from the cellular network.

  • Patent number: 11595778
    Abstract: An approach to obtain low latency association of the audio clock in a smartphone with an incoming RF message is to use an interrupt driven routine, where the receipt of the RF message preamble generates an interrupt that reads the audio clock counter since the start of the audio session. In some embodiments such an approach may be implemented on the specialized processing cores found in smartphones that control RF communication, sensor or audio processing.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for coverage improvements in wireless communication devices. A wireless communication device may be configured to selectively receive one of a plurality of paging signals, or a portion thereof, based on measured or expected coverage quality of communications from a base station. In some scenarios, the wireless communication device may provide an indication to the base station of which paging signal the wireless communication device will attempt to receive, such that the base station may include paging information directed to that UE only in the indicated paging signal. In some scenarios, the base station may include paging information directed to that UE in a plurality of paging signals, each of the paging signals including a different number of repetitions of the paging information. In some scenarios, the UE may receive only a portion of a paging signal including a plurality of repetitions of the paging information.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE), e.g., such as a pedestrian UE (PUE), may detect, during a first transmission period of a discontinuous transmission cycle, a transmission over a sidelink channel from a second UE that is located within a threshold distance from the first UE, the first UE associated with a first identifier. The first UE may determine, based at least in part on the transmission, a second identifier associated with the second UE, the second identifier being different from the first identifier. The first UE may use, based at least in part on the second UE being within the threshold distance, the first identifier and the second identifier during one or more subsequent transmission periods of the discontinuous transmission cycle.
