Patent number: 10631200Abstract: In a wireless communications system, packet error rate may be relatively low (e.g., five percent). Accordingly, receivers may successfully receive a first transmission the majority of the time. However, bandwidth may be used for retransmissions, which may be used relatively infrequently. Because retransmission packets do not necessarily have to be the same as transmission packets, transmission packets may be given more weight than retransmission packets. For example, transmission packets may be encoded with a higher bitrate than retransmission packets. In aspects, a transmitter may send a first transmission packet, including first data encoded with a first bitrate, and send a second transmission packet, including second data encoded with the first bitrate. The transmitter may send a first retransmission packet that includes the first data encoded with a second bitrate and the second data encoded with the second bitrate, and the first bitrate may be higher than the second bitrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Vishal Agarwal, Mayank Batra

Patent number: 10554345Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a retransmission system that uses a hybrid system to signal to a receiver the retransmission of codeblock groups to reduce network overhead and bandwidth.

Patent number: 10484129Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a processor-readable storage medium for wireless communication are provided. A transmitter transmits data packets to a receiver, encodes the data packets to generate parity packets, stores the parity packets in a retransmission buffer, receives information from the receiver indicating that a data packet was not correctly decoded, and transmits to the receiver the parity packets stored in the retransmission buffer for recovering the data packet not correctly decoded without retransmitting the data packet not correctly decoded. The transmitter may further retransmit to the receiver the parity packets. The transmitted data packets may be encoded at a medium access control (MAC) layer of the transmitter. The retransmission buffer may be located at a radio link control (RLC) layer or a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer of the transmitter. A reordering buffer at the receiver may be located at the RLC layer or PDCP layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2016Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jing Jiang, Yu-Ting Yu, Feilu Liu, Tingfang Ji, Gavin Bernard Horn

Patent number: 10484150Abstract: This disclosure relates to performing retransmissions in a wireless communication system by a wireless device. A wireless device may receive a first transmission of a data frame according to a wireless communication technology. The wireless device may attempt to decode the data frame. It may be determined that attempting to decode the data frame is unsuccessful. A retransmission of the data frame may be received at a retransmission interval after the first transmission of the data frame. The retransmission interval may be less than a minimum interframe interval for contending for medium access for new transmissions according to the wireless communication technology.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2016Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yuchul Kim, Joonsuk Kim

Patent number: 10472954Abstract: A control system for generating and utilizing at least one or more addressed datagrams that communicate information to and from devices along piping assemblies comprising; one or more transmitters, one or more receivers, and one or more controllers, wherein the transmitters transmit information via one or more addressed datagrams encoded within a working medium to one or more receivers among the piping assemblies, is described. Transmitters convert datagrams into signals that are transmitted within the working medium and the receivers receive signals from the transmitters and also convert signals from the working medium which is converted back into datagrams. The controllers receive and decode the datagrams so that the controllers selectively communicate and perform logical operations on piping assembly devices according to directions received from the addressed datagrams.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: AOI (Advanced Oilfield Innovations)Inventors: Daniel Maurice Lerner, Andre Orban

Patent number: 10476721Abstract: The present invention discloses an information transmission method, a device, and a system, and relates to the communications field, so as to resolve a problem that a receiving device has excessively large power consumption because the receiving device needs to continuously perform blind detection on a channel to determine a moment at which data transmission is started. A specific solution is: obtaining, by a network device, a start location of a first subframe, configuring a first field in downlink control information DCI of a second subframe, and sending, to user equipment, the first subframe and the second subframe that are adjacent to each other, where the first field is used to indicate the start location of the first subframe. The present invention is used for information transmission.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Xiaocui Li, Jian Wang

Patent number: 10470171Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for partitioning resources into resource partitions, and informing user equipments (UEs) of the resource partitions. Knowledge of the resource partitions may assist the UEs in performing joint decoding. In one embodiment, a method performed by a UE includes receiving at least one message from each base station. The at least one message provides information indicating how resources are partitioned by the base station into a respective plurality of resource partitions. The information is used to identify respective resources for each of at least two downlink transmissions. Respective data that was transmitted on each of the at least two downlink transmissions using the respective resources is jointly decoded.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Yicheng Lin, Usa Vilaipornsawai, Mohammadhadi Baligh

Patent number: 10469607Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for handling notifications. A notification system monitors content (e.g., photograph) followed by a user for updates on a communication system. If the notification system identifies updates to content out of the monitored content, then the notification system applies the policy for delivering notifications concerning the content followed by the user that was updated. The notification system registers to receive information about updates to the content followed by the user as well as new events on the communication system. In response to identifying updates to content related to the content followed by the user that was updated from the received information, a summary concerning the updates to the content followed by the user and the related content is then generated. A notification is then delivered to the user containing the generated summary in a manner consistent with the policy.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jonathan F.

Patent number: 10461892Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing communication latency are provided. A communication session with a remote device is initiated. One or more message packets are transmitted to the remote device. Subsequently, it is determined whether any additional message packet is scheduled to be transmitted to the remote device. In the event that no additional message packet is scheduled to be sent to the remote device, a loss detection packet is appended to a last message packet. The last message packet and the loss detection packet are transmitted to the remote device. It is further determined whether the last message packet was successfully received by the remote device based on receipt of an acknowledgment message. In the event that the last message packet was not successfully transmitted, a retransmit of the last message packet is executed.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2016Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Kurt Alan Shoens, Peter K.
