  • Patent number: 11991765
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, or apparatuses that support a 20 MHz station (STA) parked on a secondary channel. Without the described techniques, mechanisms to support secondary channel operation may be unable to receive management frames or broadcast traffic from an access point (AP), which may cause the STA to lose synchronization with the AP, miss a channel change or other critical announcement from the AP, etc. Considerations for providing such information to STAs parked on a secondary channel are discussed. In some examples, an AP may restrict resource unit allocation to the secondary channel on which the STA is parked. In some cases, a trigger-based random access mechanism may utilize aspects of the present disclosure to limit access to certain resource units to STAs on a given secondary channel.

  • Patent number: 11936711
    Abstract: A sidelink connection is created between each device of a plurality of devices. If the sidelink connection quality is not sufficient to transmit a first version of a segment encoded at a first quality level, a lower quality version of the segment may also be retrieved. The lower quality version of the segment may be retrieved by a different device than the device that retrieved the first version of the segment. If the segment is requested from a first device by a second device and the sidelink connection between the first device and the second device is not sufficient to transmit the first version of the segment, the first device may cause transmission of the lower quality version of the segment retrieved by a third device to the second device.

  • Patent number: 11924852
    Abstract: A system and method for providing both localized and distributed transmission modes for EPDCCH is disclosed, where one EPDCCH comprises of one or multiple CCEs. Localized versus distributed transmission may be defined in terms of the EPDCCH to CCE resource mapping. In a localized transmission CCEs are restricted to be contained within one PRB. In a distributed transmission a CCE spans over multiple PRBs. A UE can be configured to either receive the EPDCCH only in localized or only in distributed transmissions. A UE can also be configured to expect EPDCCH transmissions in both localized and distributed transmissions. In each PRB configured by the higher layer as an EPDCCH resource, 24 REs that may be used for any DMRS transmission are always reserved and not used for EPDCCH transmission.

  • Patent number: 11924101
    Abstract: A network device is provided. The network device includes one or more memories and one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories. The one or more processors are configured receive a DL MU PPDU, decode a data frame including a media access control (MAC) header from the DL MU PPDU, determine whether an acknowledgement (ACK) policy indicated in the MAC header signals a trigger-based immediate acknowledgement policy, and determine whether a trigger indication for an uplink (UL) MU transmission has been obtained from a payload of a data frame. Responsive to the processor determines that the trigger indication has not been obtained, the processor is configured to not transmit an immediate acknowledgement to the access point. In response to the trigger indication has not been obtained but the station has obtained a transmission opportunity, the station returns an ACK/Block ACK frame in an unsolicited manner.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for processing an acknowledgement report for reception of control information. A method for a user equipment (UE) to receive physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) includes determining a prioritization for receiving the PDCCHs and receiving the PDCCHs based on the prioritization. PDCCH receptions for a first search space set (SSS) are prioritized over PDCCH receptions for a second SSS or a third SSS. The PDCCH receptions for the second SSS are prioritized over the PDCCH receptions for the third SSS based on a configuration. The PDCCH receptions for the first SSS include a first downlink control information (DCI) format. The PDCCH receptions for the second SSS include a second DCI format that schedules a groupcast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception. The PDCCH receptions for the third SSS include a third DCI format that schedules a unicast PDSCH reception.
