Title: Improvements in and relating to user equipment, UE, configuration
Inventor: Yinan Qi
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2018-07-27
Abstract: A method for a user equipment (UE) in a 5G New Radio (NR) system that comprises the configuration of simultaneous use of Time-Domain Orthogonal Cover Code (TD-OCC) Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) and Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS). A simultaneous configuration may be allowed where the time density of PTRS is equal to two (every other symbol) or equal to four (every 4th symbol) when the phase rotation between symbols is less significant. The UE may provide a capability report to the network to indicate whether it can support simultaneous configuration of TD-OCC DMRS and PTRS and it may be applied on the basis of explicit signalling from a base station or implicitly with reference to the Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) level. The configuration may be used in uplink or downlink and Resource Element (RE) offsets for PTRS, power boosting and DMRS-PTRS associations may also be defined. The advantage of the invention is that without the use of TD-OCC DMRS the maximum number of transmission layers is limited to half of the actual maximum values and hence the potential peak throughput is halved.

The rectification procedure comprises selecting a defective track 540 and identifying one or more candidate features 545 in each respective fault image, where each potential feature is determined as a candidate for correcting at least one error. One or more candidate corrections are determined for the selected track, and the best correction is selected 555 in dependence on one or more criteria. The technique may proceed in a loop. and may evaluate whether different potential corrections are mutually inconsistent. It may be used to track cells.

Title: Backoff management for intra-queue priority transmission in communication networks
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2019-04-04
Abstract: Wireless networks, such as 802.11 networks, comprising non-AP stations comprising at least one traffic queue for serving data traffic, the queue being capable of storing data of a first or second type. Intra-queue priority is implemented using a backoff engine that uses first EDCA parameters if the data packet to be transmitted is of the first type and second, different, EDCA parameters if the data packet is of the second type. The first type may be a priority type, and may be control data, such as a buffer-status report, or data relating to a peer-to-peer communication such as Direct Link Setup. The backoff may be calculated based on the type of data of the oldest packet in the queue. Packets of the second type may be stored in the queue according to a First In First Out principle while packets of the priority type may be stored in the queue according to Last In First Out principle. Low priority data may be transmitted with a penalty backoff (e.g. a MU EDCA scheme), while high priority data is processed without a penalty.
