Patent №: 11849363 (December 19, 2023) – Terminal apparatus, method, and integrated circuit. In a scenario where a terminal uses one PDCP entity for communication with both a source and a target cell, it links the PDCP with radio bearers from each cell sharing the same EPS bearer identity, while the PDCP handles two distinct keys.

Patent №: 11849449 (December 19, 2023) – Base station apparatus, terminal apparatus, communication method, and integrated circuit. A terminal apparatus receives parameters and a PDSCH, then creates and sends a HARQ-ACK codebook via PUCCH. If a first parameter is set, it generates two HARQ-ACK codebooks: one for a HARQ-ACK bit for PDSCH A and another for PDSCH B. Without the first parameter, only one HARQ-ACK codebook is created for the HARQ-ACK bit corresponding to PDSCH B.

Patent №: 11849345 (December 19, 2023) – Terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, and method. This technology streamlines communication between a terminal and base station, enhancing call quality and reducing protocol complexity. It features a terminal that receives RRC messages, sets a packet loss prohibit timer, and sends packet loss reports including direction and rate to the base station when the timer is inactive.

Patent №: 11849350 (December 19, 2023) – Terminal apparatus and method. A terminal apparatus designed for communication with a base station includes a receiver to get an RRC message with an EHC configuration and a processing unit. This unit sets up the EHC protocol based on the configuration, tags data with a context identifier during EHC processing, and signifies that the data’s Ethernet header remains uncompressed if the identifier is a specific value.

Patent №: 11849365 (December 19, 2023) – Terminal apparatus, method, and integrated circuit. A terminal apparatus for base station communication includes a receiver to get the first message from the base station and a processing unit. This unit establishes a second PDCP entity with the same configuration as the first PDCP entity for a signaling radio bearer, based on a first configuration set from the first message.

Patent №: 11849470 (December 19, 2023) – Terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, method of a terminal apparatus, and method of a base station apparatus for managing a measurement configuration. A communication system features a terminal and a base station apparatus using carrier aggregation across multiple serving cells with distinct frequencies. The terminal removes a measurement identity associated with any serving cell that is no longer in use.

Yu Zhang

Systems Engineer at Qualcomm.

Patent №: (December 19, 2023) –  11849448 – Preemption indication for DL multiplexing of different types of traffic with non-coherent joint transmission.

This disclosure outlines methods for signaling the preemption of resources affecting a joint transmission to user equipment from multiple transmitters, which may be identified by a virtual cell ID or a DMRS port group ID.

Patent №: 11848762 (December 19, 2023) – Live broadcast stream pushing method and apparatus, and electronic device.  This invention enhances the flexibility of live broadcast streaming in multimedia conferences, where viewing permission settings determine whether to push the stream.

Patent №: 11847970 (December 19, 2023) –Display substrate and display device.  This innovative creation offers a unique design to optimize display quality. By employing different light emitting unit groups with varying colors, Zhang’s display substrate allows for improved image quality, particularly in the second display region. The patent presents a superior solution for delivering exceptional visual experiences.

Vincent Pham

Data Scientist | Machine Learning Engineer.

Patent №: 11849256 (December 19, 2023) –Systems and methods for dynamically concealing sensitive information. A system for protecting sensitive information during a video conference’s screen-sharing session is described. This system connects with multiple devices in the conference, which can toggle between screen sharing and video modes. It identifies sensitive data on a device’s interface. When the device’s host intends to share their screen, the system detects this and activates privacy measures to conceal the sensitive information.

Patent №: 11848925 (December 19, 2023) – – Multi-device verification via non-audible sound, addresses the need for secure and efficient authentication processes. The technology involves the use of non-audible sound signals to initiate a multifactor authentication process and determine whether a transaction request should be completed. By incorporating a predetermined frequency pattern, associated with the user, Pham’s invention provides a robust and convenient user experience.

Patent №: 11849044 (December 19, 2023) – Local device authentication system. Embodiments describe a semi-local authentication system where a server sends encryption methods to a user device. This device shares them with nearby secondary devices for decryption. The decrypted codes are sent back to the server via the user device, which, upon verification, grants access to various resources.

Patent №: 11847245 (December 19, 2023) – Privacy preserving data labeling, he explores systems that allow for the labeling of confidential data while maintaining privacy. By converting a document into text embeddings and generating synthetic images through machine learning, the technology enables the annotation and labeling of sensitive data without compromising privacy. This innovative approach offers valuable solutions for industries that handle confidential information.
