Patent number: 10470071Abstract: In a wireless communication terminal in a wireless communication system for performing a control not to transmit signals, or to transmit signals with a reduction in a transmission power by a part of radio resources for a downlink signal in a cell provided by a base station, the terminal receives control information in generating a report related to a measurement result of the cell provided by the base station, monitors a state of a radio link with an own cell, and performs measurement on reception of the downlink signal. If an instruction for restricting the measurement to a part of the radio resources is included in the control information from the base station after the radio link failure occurs, the terminal generates and transmits a radio link failure report including the measurement result in the radio resources as instructed when the radio link failure occurs.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Sun Patent TrustInventors: Takashi Tamura, Takahisa Aoyama, Hidenori Matsuo

Patent number: 10468782Abstract: A method is provided for determining instantaneous polarization of multiple electromagnetic transmissions. A segmented aperture system determines a direction of arrival of a transmission based on port coordinates and the geometric relationship of the segments. The ports receive at least two orthogonal polarizations that characterize the incoming signals. Two angles are calculated by a simultaneous solution of two phase difference measurements to determine the direction of arrival. A mean direction of arrival solution is obtained by averaging solution estimates that are obtained by repeating the direction of arrival determination.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Inventor: Donald H Steinbrecher

Patent number: 10454635Abstract: A method and a system for signaling and processing control information in a cloud cell environment are provided. According to an embodiment, in a cloud cell, a master Base Station (BS) coordinates with other BSs to determine resources available for use on communication links between a mobile station in the cloud cell and one or all the BSs during a scheduling interval. Based on the resources available, the master BS allocates cumulative resources associated with the BSs to the mobile station for the scheduling interval. Then, the master BS transmits resource allocation control information indicating the allocated cumulative resources to the mobile station over a communication link between the master BS and the mobile station. Upon receiving the resource allocation control information, the mobile station decodes the information and receives data packets from each of the BSs during the scheduling interval according to the decoded resource allocation control information.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Anil Agiwal, Anshuman Nigam

Patent number: 10433307Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) is wirelessly coupled to a console or a relay depending on the relative positions of the HMD, the console, and the relay. The HMD communicates wirelessly with the console using a beam that is oriented in a particular direction. As the position of the HMD changes, the quality of the communication link between the HMD and the console may degrade. In response to the degradation, the HMD forms a communication link with a relay, which operates as an intermediary between the HMD and the console. The relay communicates with the HMD over a dedicated communication channel that is isolated from the communication channel over which the relay communicates with the console.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Qi Qu, Hongyu Zhou, Ganesh Venkatraman, Ryan Hamilton Brown, Lyle David Bainbridge, Sam Padinjaremannil Alex, Ali Yazdan, Nirav Rajendra Patel
