Summary of the patent applications from Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) on November 9th, 2023

Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) has recently filed several patents related to various aspects of wireless communication and network technologies. These patents cover areas such as heat dissipation in electronic devices, relay service handling, network node configuration, multi-subcarrier spacing in user equipment, uplink transmission management, positioning services in Industrial Internet of Things (I-IoT) environments, tracking area identity updates in non-terrestrial networks, integrated access backhaul (IAB) node timing synchronization, and carrier-sense mechanisms in wireless networks.

In terms of heat dissipation, Ericsson has developed a heatsink system that efficiently dissipates heat from multiple heat generating components. This system includes a base plate for connection, a first heatsink integrated thermosiphon for a specific bulk heat source, and separate heat dissipating fins for other components.

For relay service handling, Ericsson has devised a method for a second user equipment (UE2) to accept relay requests from a first UE (UE1) based on various conditions such as authorization, cell allowance, connection state, PLMN subscription, and Access Stratum configurations.

In network node configuration, Ericsson has introduced a method for adding a secondary cell to a network, involving messages between the network node, target secondary node (SN), and wireless device, along with conditional reconfigurations.

In user equipment with multi-subcarrier spacing, Ericsson has developed a UE that can operate with different subcarrier spacing values, determining time-domain resource allocation based on received information and using it for wireless signal transmission.

In uplink transmission management, Ericsson has proposed a method for a base station to signal uplink grants to a terminal device, specifying permitted services for data transmission.

In I-IoT environments, Ericsson has created a method for wireless devices to assess network availability and positioning service integrity, and take appropriate actions accordingly.

In non-terrestrial networks, Ericsson has developed a method for wireless devices to update their tracking area identity based on information received from different cells.

In IAB node timing synchronization, Ericsson has devised methods for an IAB node to determine downlink signal transmission timing based on timing offset information received from an upstream node.

In carrier-sense mechanisms, Ericsson has introduced a method for transmitting devices with multiple antenna elements to perform directional carrier-sense assessments, select transmit power based on detected wireless activity, and transmit to receiving devices using the selected power.

Notable applications:

• Efficient heat dissipation system for multiple heat generating components.
• Method for handling relay service requests based on various conditions.
• Method for adding a secondary cell to a network with conditional reconfigurations.
• User equipment operating with multiple subcarrier spacing values.
• Improved uplink transmission management with specified service permissions.
• Assessment and action-taking based on network availability and positioning service integrity in I-IoT environments.
• Tracking area identity updates in non-terrestrial networks.
• IAB node timing synchronization for downlink signal transmission.
• Carrier-sense mechanism for wireless communications with directional assessments and power selection.
