A method of conveying an allocation of radio resources on a radio channel for communicating data between a base station and a terminal device in a wireless telecommunications system, wherein the radio channel spans a channel frequency bandwidth divided into frequency resource units which may be selectively allocated for communicating data between the base station and the terminal device, and wherein the method comprises, at the base station, selecting a combination of resource units for communicating the data between the base station and the terminal device from among a predefined set of allowable combinations of resource units, wherein the allowable combinations of resource units include non-contiguous combinations of resource units and wherein the number of allowable combinations of resource units is smaller than the total number of combinations of resource units, and conveying, to the terminal device, an indication of the selected combination of resource units.

A method, system, and/or apparatus for automatically monitoring for possible infection or other physical health concerns, such as from Covid-19. The method or implementing software application uses or relies upon location information available on the mobile device from any source, such as cell phone usage and/or other device applications. The method and system automatically uses and/or learns user location and activity patterns and determines and infection risk or illness-based deviation that can be communicated as a warning to community members.

Disclosed are procedures for measuring the modulation quality of each message resource element in a failed 5G or 6G communication, thereby revealing the most likely fault locations in the message. The types of modulation deviations in the low-quality message elements can provide further guidance as to the correct demodulation. In addition, after receiving a second copy, the copies can be merged by selecting the highest quality message elements from each version, where the quality is related to how far each message element's modulation deviates from the calibrated “states” of the modulation scheme. The receiver may also determine directional information based on the modulation of each message element, and may compare versions to determine the most likely correct state of each message element. Such strategies may directly recover the original message, or may greatly reduce the number of variations that need to be tested. When implemented, fault mitigation as disclosed herein can resolve message failures, improve communication reliability, reduce latency, and improve network operations overall, according to some embodiments.

Methods and systems are disclosed for scalable antenna arrays that may be built up using pluggable tiles that have low distortion, flat band high gain, and structured to channelize the signals into narrow bands that may be 40 MHz or even smaller bandwidth apart. Antenna array tiles may employ traveling wave tube (TWT) components and wafer scale arrays. H-topology, equal length, feed networks connect the signals to antenna elements. The fractal-like, recursively repeating at different size scales, structure for the H-tree feed networks, implemented using pluggable tiles, facilitates the scalability of the high gain waveguide antenna array. System integration across the 75-115 GHz spectral band implements scalable aperture architecture with emphasis on addressing considerations of the TX power requirement, feed network, channelizing signals at different frequency bands using specially designed diplexers and combiners, cooling, component placement, and isolation.

Disclosed herein are techniques to provide an indication of bandwidth to establish a TxOP using channel bonding. An information element may be generated to include an RTS frame or a CTS frame and an indication of bandwidth in a parity portion of the information element. The indication of bandwidth may be included by using 16 bits of the parity bits of parity bytes for a PHY header of the information element.
