20210136751 | CHANNEL DEACTIVATION AND CONTROL FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - Channel deactivation and control for wireless communications are described. A base station may communicate with a wireless device via one or more cells. The base station may determine a deactivation condition for a cell associated with a control channel and may alter behavior associated with at least one channel communication via another cell. | 2021-05-06 |
20210136752 | IDENTIFYING A TYPE OF CELLULAR CONNECTION AND A TYPE OF SERVICE AREA FROM CELLULAR BROADCAST DATA - A user device parses system information block data, received from a first cell, to identify an upper layer indicator element, and determines, based on the upper layer indicator element, that the user device is in an EN-DC area. The user device causes, based on determining that the user device is in the EN-DC area, first display of a first indicator on a display of the user device, and sends a request to the first cell for a data connection. The user device receives, from the first cell, a message that indicates a second cell will initiate the data connection via a 5G NR millimeter wave connection. The user device causes, based on the message, display of a second indicator on the display of the user device for a threshold amount of time, and then causes second display of the first indicator on the display of the user device. | 2021-05-06 |

The method may also include configuring uplink and downlink time slots for each of the carriers based on the determined uplink and downlink configurations and modifying the uplink and downlink configurations for at least some of the carriers over time based on data usage or congestion associated with the at least some of the plurality of carriers. | 2021-05-06 |
20210136756 | METHOD OF ALLOCATING TIME SLOTS FOR WIRELESS HEADSET, AND WIRELESS HEADSET USING THE SAME - Disclosed is a method of allocating time slots for a wireless headset in a communication period, the wireless headset comprising a first earpiece and a second earpiece that are independent from each other, wherein the method comprises: sending, by the first earpiece, a request message to a mobile device in a first time slot of the communication period; sending, by the mobile device, audio data to the first earpiece and the second earpiece in a plurality of time slots subsequent to the first time slot based on the request message; sending, by the first earpiece, a first control message to the second earpiece in a second time slot after the plurality of time slots; and sending, by the second earpiece, a second control message to the first earpiece in a third time slot subsequent to the second time slot based on the first control message. | 2021-05-06 |
20210136757 | METHODS, APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING A TRANSPORT BLOCK SIZE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - Methods, apparatus and systems for determining a transport block size in a wireless communication are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless communication device is disclosed. The method comprises: receiving control information from a wireless communication node, wherein the control information includes a plurality of transmission parameters related to transport blocks to be transmitted between the wireless communication device and the wireless communication node; calculating an intermediate transport block size (TBS) for the transport blocks based on the plurality of transmission parameters; modifying the intermediate TBS to generate a modified TBS in response to an event that the intermediate TBS is smaller than a threshold; and determining a final TBS for the transport blocks based on a TBS that is closest to the modified TBS, among TBSs that are in a quantized set and not smaller than the modified TBS. | 2021-05-06 |
20210136758 | Systems and Methods for Managing Wireless Packet Communications by Assigning Separate Resources for Sequential Transmission Attempts - Systems and methods are provided for managing multiple wireless links, e.g., between base stations and wireless headsets. Each wireless link communicates data packets (e.g., audio data packets) according to a wireless protocol (e.g., Bluetooth) defining a series of connection intervals having a defined number of frames (e.g., Bluetooth eSCO intervals including 6 or 12 frames per interval). A controller stores interval segmentation data specifying a first interval segment (including a first subset of frames) allocated to original transmissions of packets and at least one additional interval segment (including additional subsets of frames) allocated to retransmissions of failed packets. The controller uses the interval segmentation data to manage timing for packet transmissions and retransmissions by the various wireless devices, such that each device (a) sends transmissions only during the first interval segment and (b) sends retransmissions only during the additional interval segment(s), to thereby reduce interference between the various wireless links. | 2021-05-06 |
