Jing Lei

System Engineer at Qualcomm.

Patent №: 12396013 – Multi-mode configuration for coverage enhancements.

A base station stores multiple coverage enhancement modes => selects one based on UE factors => schedules uplink and downlink channels using its parameters.

Jung Won Kang

ETRI Senior Member of Engineering Staff.

Patent №: 12395668 – Image encoding/decoding method and device, and recording medium in which bitstream is stored.

An image decoding method includes loading neighboring block information => decoding the current block with it => saving the decoded block information.

Piyush Gupta

Principal R&D Engineer & Manager at Qualcomm | IEEE Fellow | NAE Frontiers of Engineering Alumnus | ex-Bell Labs.

Patent №: 12395985 – Efficient scheduling of a two-hop communication link.

A controller UE sends a relay scheduling request to a network node => requests Uu access for sidelink retransmissions => communicates the retransmissions via Uu.

Chad Glerum

Vice President Advanced Technologies, Trauma PD at Globus Medical.

Patent №: 12390341 – Variable lordosis spacer and related methods of use.

An expandable fusion device has endplates and ramps => an inserter with outer and inner shafts engages the ramps to adjust height and lordotic angle.
