  • Patent number: 11539563
    Abstract: The method includes receiving indicator information indicating a processor should use a first type preamble sequence or a second type preamble sequence to generate a first preamble sequence, generating the first preamble sequence, transmitting a first request message to request network resources, the first request message including the first preamble sequence, a processor being capable of generating both the first type preamble sequence and the second type preamble sequence for the first request message to initially request network resources, receiving a feedback message from the receiver, and controlling the network data traffic based on the feedback message. The second type preamble sequence has a higher robustness against frequency impairments compared to the first type preamble sequence. The second type preamble sequence is used in high carrier frequency scenarios, within 5G networks, in case of low-cost terminals, or in ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC) use cases.

  • Patent number: 11539413
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing beamforming feedback in a communication channel are disclosed. A data packet is received at a beamformee circuitry of the first communication device configured to generate beam steering data for use by a transmitter of a second communication device. Each of a plurality of tones of the received data packet is processed to generate a compressed steering matrix corresponding to the communication channel. In parallel to the processing of the received plurality of tones, an immediate feedback packet comprising a plurality of data symbols is constructed, where the data symbols include the generated compressed steering matrix. At least a first data symbol of the immediate feedback packet is transmitted prior to completing the processing of all the plurality of tones of the received data packet.

  • Patent number: 11522592
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured with a set of beamforming weights, each beamforming weight corresponding to a transmit beam of a set of transmit beams that may each include a same primary lobe and one or more different side lobes. The UE may then perform a beam training procedure to determine which transmit beams cause more or less interference at one or more nearby UEs. The UE may transmit signals using one or more of the transmit beams, and the nearby UEs may determine which transmit beams and corresponding beamforming weights cause more or less interference. The nearby UEs may then indicate those transmit beams or beamforming weights that cause more or less interference via different options.

  • Patent number: 11510226
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to enable a mobile access node to enter a new power state based on detection of a second access node. The second access node may be detected by the mobile access node or a central unit (CU). The mobile access node or the CU may determine for the mobile access node to enter a new power state and may notify the other of the determination. The mobile access node may enter a lower power state if the second access node is within a defined proximity or if one or more thresholds are exceeded. The mobile access node may enter a higher power state if no other access nodes are within the defined proximity or if the one or more thresholds are not exceeded. Configuration parameters for a power state change procedure may be configured by control signaling from a CU.
