Patent GB-2568490-A (GB)
Title: Configuration of time domain multiplexing
Inventor: BRUNO JECHOUX
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2017-11-16
Abstract: In 5G or new radio (NR) Time Domain Duplex or Time Division Duplex systems it may be desirable to provide flexible configuration of the uplink and downlink resources on a per-Transmit/Receive Point (TRP) basis to adapt to changing network demands, however, inconsistent definition of uplink and downlink periods between overlapping radio resources can lead to Cross Link Interference (CLI). The method relates to allocating resources in a slot-based TTD system, wherein each slot contains several OFDM symbols. The method comprises allocating an uplink (UL) region of OFDM symbols and a downlink region (DL) of OFDM symbols at the base station to allow flexible assignment of resources between UL and DL, while avoiding CLI. Slot ordering rules may limit modification of slot format between slots such than an estimate of safe regions can be made by, at a first base station, identifying an overlap of a first region of a second base station and a second region of the first base station within a slot and determining a possible overlap for the next slot. The length of the first region of the second base station may not change by more than ‘n’ OFDM symbols between first and second slot.

Title: Coiled tubing or snubbing string drilling
Inventor: Håvard Nasvik
IPC: E21B21/08
Filed: 2018-09-11
Abstract: A method of drilling a borehole at an oil and gas installation uses a modified form of coiled tubing or snubbing string drilling and includes: circulating mud through a mud circuit during a drilling operation, wherein the mud circuit includes a topside mud lift pump 2 that elevates return mud up some of all of the height of a tower structure 6 of the installation before allowing it to flow 8 under the influence of gravity around the mud circuit back to the borehole. The extra mud column provides control of bottom hole pressure akin to managed pressure drilling within a narrow formation drilling window but without the need for extra components such as a recirculating rotating device and when circulation stops may maintain hydrostatic overbalance. The tower may be an existing rig derrick and the pimp should provide at least 50m elevation above the lowest topside point. The pump and any tubing may be dedicated to the method or may be primarily used for other purposes.
