Patent number: 11405061Abstract: A network node obtains, via a transmission and reception point (TRP) and from a terminal device not served by the network node, a packet comprising channel state information feedback indicating that a further packet is expected to be transmitted from the TRP on a downlink within a predefined time interval. The network node initiates transmission via the downlink of the TRP responsive to the channel state information feedback such that the transmission interferes with an uplink of the terminal device by less than a threshold amount during the predefined time interval.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2021Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Thomas Nilsson, Dzevdan Kapetanovic

Patent number: 11368919Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques for multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) in a cluster may coordinate scheduling and communications with a user equipment (UE). Different TRPs may allocate uplink resources for one or more UEs within a coordinated cluster to transmit feedback information. A first TRP may provide a first set of resources that one or more associated UEs may use to transmit acknowledgment (ACK) feedback to indicate successful receipt of a downlink transmission of the first TRP, and one or more other TRPs of the coordinated cluster may provide a second set of resources that the one or more UEs may use to transmit negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback to indicate that a downlink transmission of the first TRP was lost. The second set of resources may include non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) resources.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Piyush Gupta, Junyi Li, Christophe Chevallier

Patent number: 11349550Abstract: An integrated terrestrial/non-terrestrial network may allow for enhanced network coverage. However, there are control and management challenges associated with an integrated terrestrial/non-terrestrial network because the network and user equipments (UEs) are no longer confined to only using conventional cellular communication via terrestrial transmit-and-receive points (T-TRPs). One challenge is how to perform beam management. In some embodiments, methods and systems are disclosed in which an indication of angular direction (e.g. beam direction) is provided by the T-TRP. The indication of angular direction may be used by a UE for communicating with a non-terrestrial TRP (NT-TRP), e.g. using beamforming. However, the methods are not limited to integrated terrestrial/non-terrestrial networks or the involvement of NT-TRPs, but apply more generally to indicating angular direction for directional communication.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Aman Jassal, Amine Maaref, Jianglei Ma

Patent number: 11329709Abstract: An apparatus and a method for configuring antenna arrays for scalable radio frequency (RF) architecture are dis-closed. A subset of antenna arrays are grouped into K groups and a receive or transmit weight vector is applied to each of the antenna arrays in each of the K groups. A channel response is measured for each of the antenna in the K groups. The response is summed for each group and complex scaling factors are calculated based on the summed response. Based on the scaling factors the antenna weight vectors arc updated and the updated weight vectors arc applied to the antenna arrays. The steps of grouping the antennas and refining the weight vectors are performed till the antenna weight vectors reach a steady point, i.e. the current antenna weight does not improve the beamforming gain by a predetermined threshold in comparison to the previous antenna weight.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Shi Cheng, KeangPo Ricky Ho

Patent number: 11265943Abstract: A method and system for controlling an operational mode of a first access node where the first access node provides a first cell and a second access node provides a second cell. An example method could include (i) determining a level of fading of the second cell, (ii) using the determined level of fading of the second cell as a basis to decide whether the first access node should operate in a blind-addition mode or rather a threshold-based-addition mode for adding a secondary connection in the second cell for a UE having a primary connection with the first access node in the first cell, and (iii) causing the first access node to operate in the decided mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventor: Sreekar Marupaduga
