Patent №: 12273880 – Methods for determining minimum scheduling offset application delay.

A method and system calculate minimum scheduling offset application delay based on subcarrier spacing (SCS) and bandwidth part (BWP). A network node computes the delay and signals it to a wireless device, which uses it for scheduling decisions.

Moon-il Lee
Sr. Director at InterDigital, Inc.
Patent №: 12273888 – Methods and apparatus for wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) power control.

WTRU receives a TDRA list and a minimum slot offset. It decodes DCI to get an index, checks the corresponding slot offset, and receives the downlink channel only if the offset meets or exceeds the minimum.

Patent №: 12273760 – Systems and methods for aperiodic measurement reference signal transmission in multiple antenna systems. Systems and methods enable determining two DCIs to identify active A-CSI-RSs and a subset of them. A WTRU uses the full set for RE muting and the subset for CSI measurement.

Patent №: 12273556 – Motion vector generation device, a video decoding device and a video coding device.

To improve coding efficiency, a system includes a PU-level search unit that performs low-precision motion vector searches for each prediction block, and a sub-block level search unit that conducts higher-precision searches within sub-blocks of the prediction block.

Patent №: 12268282 – Article of footwear with a tensioning system including a guide assembly.

An article with an automatic tensioning system includes a lace guide assembly with a lower guide and two upper guides, each having channels for a tensioning member. As the tensioning member tightens, the upper guides move towards the lower guide, pulling the straps to tighten the upper around the foot.
