Patent number: 10531342Abstract: A Network Node, a Radio Access node and methods therein for handling and supporting Hand Over, HO, in a wireless communication network are disclosed. The method in a Radio Access node comprises receiving, from a Network Node, a VoIP session notification identifying a traffic flow associated with VoIP related to a UE. The method further comprises receiving, from the Network Node, a VoIP state report for the identified traffic flow, said VoIP state report comprising a determined VoIP state, and a prediction related to a time to a VoIP state change. Further, the method comprises, when the UE is a candidate for HO: deciding whether to delay or to trigger the HO based on the VoIP state and the prediction.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2014Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (PUBL)Inventors: Åsa Bertze, Steven Corroy, Icaro L.

Base station, communication terminal, communication method, communication system, and storage medium
Patent number: 10524163Abstract: A base station for offloading communication traffic includes: first means for receiving from a communication terminal a message requesting a connection with a wireless network; and second means for determining whether or not a connection between a base station which has received the message from the communication terminal and the communication terminal is possible based on a terminal attribute identified by the message.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Makoto Fujinami -
Patent number: 10512037Abstract: In an wireless communication system, base stations will be set to prioritize serving one type of user equipment device (UE) over another type of UE, and each base station's respective prioritization will be conveyed to UEs to facilitate base station selection. That way, when a UE faces a choice of whether to connect with one base station or another, the UE could determine which base station gives higher priority to the UE's type and could connect with that base station, even if the UE detects stronger coverage of the other base station. And if the UE finds itself in coverage of a base station that gives lower priority to the UE's type than to another UE type, the UE could still connect with that base station unless the UE finds another base station that gives higher priority to the UE's type.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Sanghoon Sung, Yun Sung Kim, Minho Song, Hau Tran

Patent number: 10511944Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a health engine that monitors and modifies customer-premises equipment (CPE) devices. The health engine can detect patterns in CPE device behavior, identify problems with CPE devices, and adjust CPE device configurations proactively or reactively to address problems or prevent problems. In some implementations, the health engine can instruct a CPE device or gateway to restart, update its software or firmware, notify a user of the CPE device of an unhealthy behavior pattern in a CPE device. The health engine can modify a CPE device prior to a user using the device or when the CPE device is inactive.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Dragos Lazar, Leon Chung-Dai Yen, Omar Hassan

Patent number: 10505917Abstract: An unmanned vehicle may be utilized to perform various tasks, such as delivering packages and picking up packages for delivery in coordination with a physical access control device. Authentication and authorization processes may be used to grant the unmanned vehicle access to a physical space controlled by a physical access control device. A subsystem of the unmanned vehicle and the physical access control device may both support execution of computer instructions in a protected execution environment. A protected execution environment may be configured to provide an attestation to a remote counterparty, receive a purported attestation associated with the counterparty, verify the purported attestation is authentic using a root of trust in common with the remote counterparty, and perform authentication and authorization routines in connection with access policies of the unmanned vehicle, the physical access control device, or both.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Jasmeet Chhabra

Patent number: 10503303Abstract: An uninterrupted learning uses a touch screen display device when connections to networks are unavailable or unstable. The touch screen display device is equipped with short range and long range communication capabilities in addition of capable being a WiFi hotspot. The touch screen display device incorporates the features of both the adaptive server and the teacher device. The adaptive server feature in the touch screen display device can communicate with a remote server through a local area network and switch to a cellular telecommunication network when the local area network is unavailable. The adaptive server can also act as the WiFi base station and accept connections from nearby student devices.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Equalearning Corp.Inventor: Shih-Yuan Wang

Patent number: 10498369Abstract: There is provided a signal distribution network for an antenna arrangement comprising signal interfaces and antenna elements. The signal distribution network comprises a first signal processing module operatively connected between antenna elements and K of the signal interfaces. The signal distribution network comprises a second signal processing module operatively connected between antenna elements and M signal interfaces other than those operatively connected to the first signal processing module. Components of the second signal processing module have lower sampling rate than components of the first signal processing module. The signal distribution network is configured for simultaneous signalling between the antenna elements and the first signal processing module and between the antenna elements and the second signal processing module.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2015Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Claes Tidestav, Mikael Coldrey, Virgile Garcia, Sven Petersson

Patent number: RE47793Abstract: Provided are a method of transmitting a dedicated reference signal (DRS), a method of receiving a DRS, and a feedback method of a terminal. The method of transmitting a DRS includes determining a DRS transmitting resource for at least one terminal which is a target of transmission, and transmitting the DRS using the determined transmission resource and notifying the terminal of information about layer used by the terminal. The method of receiving a DRS includes determining a DRS receiving resource, receiving information about layer used by a terminal from a serving cell base station, and receiving the DRS for the terminal using the determined reception resource and the information about layer. Accordingly, a terminal can find the position and sequence of its DRS. In particular, in the case of multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) or joint scheduling, it is possible to prevent or remove signal interference using the DRS of another terminal.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Young-Jo Ko, Jae Young Ahn, Bangwon Seo
