QUALCOMM Incorporated patent applications published on June 15th, 2023

Summary of the patent applications from QUALCOMM Incorporated on June 15th, 2023

QUALCOMM Incorporated has filed several recent patents related to wireless communications. These patents focus on various aspects of wireless communication systems, including efficient switching between different radio access technologies (RATs), establishment of sidelink communication links, energy detection based resolution, subchannel-based listen before talk (LBT), and resource allocation for simultaneous communication and radar functionalities.

In terms of switching between RATs, the patents describe techniques for a user equipment (UE) to efficiently fallback to a lower generation RAT, such as 4G, when its request to communicate using a higher generation RAT, such as 5G, is rejected unexpectedly. This allows for uninterrupted and efficient communication for users, maintaining a higher level of service.

The establishment of sidelink communication links is another area of focus, where relay devices act as intermediaries between a base station and a second UE. These relay devices establish the communication link and transmit power headroom reports to the base station, enabling optimized scheduling of communications with the second UE.

Energy detection based resolution and subchannel-based listen before talk (LBT) techniques are also described in the patents. These techniques improve the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication by dynamically allocating subchannels based on energy sensing and avoiding collisions.

Notable applications of these technologies include:

• Mobile network operators can ensure uninterrupted and efficient communication for their users when transitioning between different RATs.
• Users can experience seamless connectivity and maintain access to advanced services even when their initial request is rejected.
• IoT networks can benefit from extended coverage and improved connectivity through relay devices.
• Public safety networks can achieve reliable and efficient communication between base stations and UEs.
• Industrial automation systems can benefit from reliable and low-latency communication for control and monitoring.
• Wireless communication devices operating in unlicensed frequency bands, such as Wi-Fi routers and IoT devices, can enhance the efficiency and reliability of communication in crowded environments.
• Cellular networks and IoT devices can benefit from efficient utilization of frequency bands and improved coexistence among multiple devices.
• Wireless communication systems can achieve efficient resource allocation, fair access to frequency bands, and minimized collisions for multiple users.
• Sidelink communication can be optimized for various applications, including wireless communication systems, IoT networks, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, smart city infrastructure, and industrial automation.
