Summary of the patent applications from NEC Corporation on November 30th, 2023

NEC Corporation has recently filed several patents related to various technologies. These patents cover areas such as wireless communication, image analysis, information delivery, and signal processing. Here is a summary of the patents filed by NEC Corporation:

1. Patent for a system that allows a user equipment (UE) to transmit small amounts of data even when it is in an inactive state in the Radio Resource Control (RRC) system. The system uses a pre-configured grant or random access method and provides configuration information to control future small data transmissions.

2. Patent for a base station that enables a terminal apparatus to transmit a physical uplink control channel without retuning, regardless of the bandwidth part used by the terminal apparatus. This allows for efficient communication within the uplink system band.

3. Patent for a method to handle authentication during a handover between mobile network operators. The procedure ensures a smooth and secure authentication process when a handover occurs from one operator to another while the authentication is still ongoing.

4. Patent for a system to provide information about a moving body to a user based on their location and movement. The invention aims to deliver appropriate and relevant information when the user enters or exits a specific region.

5. Patent for a method to analyze a sequence of images and determine the paths of a target subject and a related subject. This can be used in surveillance, object tracking, and behavior analysis.

6. Patent for a system to land a flying body at a desired point more reliably. The system uses a camera and recorded images to guide the flying body during descent.

7. Patent for an apparatus to perform eigenvalue decomposition, a mathematical process used to break down a matrix into its constituent parts.

8. Patent for a method to transmit downlink control information, schedule a Physical Downlink Shared Channel, and receive a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement codebook. This allows for dynamic codebook generation without additional signaling overhead.

9. Patent for a signal processing system used in an optical communication system. The system identifies and corrects distortion in input signals to improve the quality and reliability of optical communication.

Notable applications:

• A system to enable small data transmission from an inactive user equipment in a wireless communication system.
• A method for handling authentication during a handover between mobile network operators.
• A system for providing information to a user based on their location and movement.
• A method for analyzing image sequences to determine the paths of subjects.
• A system for landing a flying body at a desired point using recorded images.
• An apparatus for performing eigenvalue decomposition.
• A method for transmitting downlink control information and generating a dynamic codebook.
• A signal processing system for identifying and correcting distortion in optical communication signals.
