Patent number: 10728080Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A transmitter, such as a user equipment and/or a base station, may perform polar coding to encode bits. The polar coding may be associated with a plurality of component channels associated with a polar code length. The transmitter may interleave the encoded bits. The transmitter may map the interleaved encoded bits to a modulation symbol. The interleaving and mapping of each encoded bit may be based on an asymmetry of a polar code construction. The transmitter may transmit the interleaved encoded bits based on the mapping.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Hari Sankar, Jing Jiang, Alexei Yurievitch Gorokhov, Joseph Binamira Soriaga, Brian Banister

Patent number: 10721027Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. One method for wireless communication at a first device includes receiving a multicast packet from a second device, decoding control header information in the received multicast packet, determining that a decoding procedure associated with a payload of the received multicast packet is unsuccessful and transmitting a negative acknowledgement (NACK) based at least in part on the determining. The method also includes retrieving a list of transmitter identifiers. In some cases, transmitting the NACK is based at least in part on the list of transmitter identifiers. The method further includes determining a transmitter identifier associated with the multicast packet and determining that the transmitter identifier is present in the list of transmitter identifiers.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2018Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sudhir Kumar Baghel, Shailesh Patil, Zhibin Wu, Kapil Gulati, Hong Cheng

Patent number: 10716116Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method in a base station (603) for communicating with a user equipment (605) in the communication network (600). The base station (603) is configured to communicate with the user equipment (605) according to a selectable of at least two user equipment categories. Based on information about a selected user equipment category, the base station (603) determines a first number of maximum transmission layers supported by the base station (603). The base station (603) communicates with the user equipment (605) according to up to the determined first number of maximum transmission layers and according to the selected user equipment category.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Dirk Gerstenberger, Daniel Larsson, Kai-Erik Sunell, Henning Wiemann

Patent number: 10715284Abstract: The invention relates to a method of requesting retransmission of a lost data packet initially transmitted by a multicast transmitter in a network, the multicast transmitted multicasting data packets in the network, said method being carried out by a first multicast receiver and comprising the following steps: upon detection (201) of a loss of at least one data packet on a data link between the multicast transmitter and the first multicast receiver, setting (206) a timer value and arming (207) a timer; upon detection (208) that the timer reaches the set timer value, sending (209) a non-acknowledgment message to the multicast transmitter via an uplink control link, said non-acknowledgment message comprising an identifier of at least one lost data packet, if it has not been previously retransmitted by the multicast transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventor: Romain Rollet

Patent number: 10716132Abstract: A wireless communication base station device, terminal device, and method have reduced signaling while maintaining high scheduling gain. A judgment unit pre-stores a correspondence between the number of code words and the number of clusters to reduce the maximum value for the number of clusters allocated to each terminal as the number of code words increases, and thus determines the maximum value for the number of clusters based on the number of code words acquired. Based on the number of code words for a transmission signal from a terminal, an estimated value for the reception quality, and the maximum value for the number of clusters that is output by the judgment unit, a scheduling unit schedules the allocation of the transmission signal transmitted by each terminal to a transmission band frequency (frequency resource) so as not to exceed the maximum value for the number of clusters.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Sun Patent TrustInventors: Yoshihiko Ogawa, Akihiko Nishio, Daichi Imamura, Seigo Nakao, Masayuki Hoshino, Takashi Iwai, Sadaki Futagi

Patent number: 10708814Abstract: [Object] To provide a mechanism capable of improving the efficiency of wireless communication even in a case in which the sequence numbers of received data units are non-sequential. [Solution] A wireless communication device including: a processing unit that generates a protocol data unit (PDU) that has sequence information with which a sequence number of a data unit that is determined as being to be resent is specified; and a communication unit that transmits the PDU generated by the processing unit. A wireless communication device including: a communication unit that receives a protocol data unit (PDU) that has sequence information with which a sequence number of a data unit that is determined as being to be resent is specified; and an acquisition unit that acquires the sequence information from the PDU received by the communication unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2016Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventor: Shigeru Sugaya

Patent number: 10700818Abstract: A device, system and method are provided for wirelessly transmitting a sequence of video packets containing video data for one or more video frames. An importance metric associated with a priority of transmitting each individual packet in the sequence of video packets is independently computed, a retry limit or packet lifetime for each individual video packet in the sequence of video packets is independently determined based on the importance metric, and each video packet in the sequence of video packets is attempted to be transmitted. If the transmission attempt for an individual video packet in the sequence fails, the transmission attempt is repeated for up to the retry limit or the packet lifetime independently determined for the individual packet or until a successful transmission is achieved, whichever occurs first.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: GainSpan CorporationInventor: Indudharswamy G.
