Patent number: 12035353Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive multiple requests for sidelink channel state information (CSI) and each request for sidelink CSI may trigger a different sidelink CSI report from the UE. The UE may assign a number of CSI processing units (CPUs) to each triggered sidelink CSI report and may select one or more of the triggered sidelink CSI reports for generation in accordance with a CPU capability of the UE and according to a priority associated with each of the requests. For example, the UE may select the one or more CSI reports in an order according to the priority and such that a summation of the CPUs assigned to each of the selected CSI reports avoids exceeding the CPU capability of the UE. The UE may generate and transmit the selected CSI reports.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2021Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Seyedkianoush Hosseini, Wei Yang, Wanshi Chen

Patent number: 9973998Abstract: A relay device communicably connects an upper-level air conditioning system and a lower-level air conditioning system that use different protocols. An upper-side communicator is connected to a first bus, and transmits and receives communication packets to and from the upper-level air conditioning system. A lower-side communicator is connected to an outdoor device that is a master device, and transmits and receives communication commands to and from the lower-level air conditioning system. An association information memory stores association information obtained by associating an address in the upper-level air conditioning system allocated to each device in the lower-level air conditioning system with identification information on each device in the lower-level air conditioning system. A processor performs a mutual conversion on the communication packets and the communication commands based on the association information stored in the association information memory.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Hiroaki Kotake, Yoshiaki Koizumi, Naoyuki Hibara, Haruhiko Ishida
