Apple Inc. patent applications published on November 2nd, 2023

Summary of the patent applications from Apple Inc. on November 2nd, 2023

Apple Inc. has recently filed several patents related to wireless communication technologies. These patents cover various aspects such as improving downlink coverage, resource allocations for feedback channels, uplink packet transmission latency optimization, and power management for user equipment devices.

In terms of improving downlink coverage, Apple's patent application focuses on enhancing the coverage of downlink signals during random access channel procedures in wireless networks. The invention proposes innovative techniques and components to address the limitations of current wireless network systems and provide reliable downlink coverage for users.

Another patent application describes methods and systems for performing uplink packet transmission in a user equipment (UE). The application focuses on identifying the latency between the time when the first uplink packet is received and the first instance of a periodic transmission resource during which the packet is transmitted by the UE. This latency information is provided to the application layer of the UE, enabling it to optimize its operations based on this knowledge.

Apple's patent application also presents a method for efficient resource allocation in sidelink communications. This method allows UEs to exchange feedback and information over a sidelink by allocating specific resource elements within an interlace to carry the content associated with the received transmission.

Additionally, Apple's patent application discusses techniques for multiplexing uplink control information communications with other communications between a UE and a base station. The application describes methods for generating control information and performing multiplexing, allowing the UE to select resources and determine how to generate response data for downlink transmissions.

Notable patent applications from Apple Inc. include:

• A patent application for implementing resource allocations for feedback channels in sidelink communications.
• A patent application for uplink transmission switching in a wireless network.
• A patent application for Uplink Simultaneous Transmission on Multiple Panels (STxMP) technology.
• A patent application for power management in user equipment devices based on scheduling parameters.

These patents demonstrate Apple's ongoing efforts to improve wireless communication technologies and enhance the performance and efficiency of user equipment devices.
