COMMUNICATING CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION (CSI) OF MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION POINTS

Embodiments contemplate methods and systems for determining and communicating channel state information (CSI) for one or more transmission points (or CSI reference signal resources). Embodiments further contemplate determining transmission states may include applying at least one CSI process for channel state information (CSI) reporting. Embodiments also contemplate aperiodic and/or periodic reporting of one or more report types (e.g., rank indicator (RI)) of CSI, perhaps based on one or more reporting modes that may be configured for each of the one or more CSI process.

MAC layer communication for parallel random access procedures of dual connectivity

The present invention relates to MAC layer communication for parallel random access procedures of dual connectivity. In this scheme, a first MAC entity of a user equipment informs the initiation of the first random access procedure to a second MAC entity of the UE; and informs the completion of the first random access procedure to the second MAC entity, when the first random access procedure is finished.

20210105094 · 2021-04-08 ·

A first communication device generates and transmits a first communication frame corresponding to a request to participate in a block acknowledgment procedure. The first communication frame includes: a first field indicating a number of buffers requested to be allocated at a second communication device for buffering data units to be transmitted by the first communication device, and a second field indicating a first maximum bitmap length supported by the first communication device. The first communication device receives a second communication frame corresponding to a response to the first communication frame. The second communication frame includes: a third field indicating a number of buffers allocated at the second communication device for buffering the data units transmitted by the first communication device, and a fourth field indicating a second maximum bitmap length supported by the second communication device. The first communication device performs the block acknowledgment procedure in accordance with the second maximum bitmap length.

10939468 · 2021-03-02 · ·

A radio receiver is arranged to receive radio signals. The radio receiver includes a tuner, which outputs an electronic signal representing radio waves received by the radio receiver; a correlator, which cross-correlates a predetermined signal pattern with the electronic signal, and outputs a correlation signal; and a clear channel assessment module. The clear channel assessment module determines when the number of peaks in the correlation signal, over a fixed time window, exceeds a threshold count value, and outputs a busy signal in response to determining that the number of peaks exceeds the threshold count value.
