Centurion Patentors as of December 31, 2024

This week, we aim to celebrate the centurion patentors who have reached noteworthy milestones in their fields.

Patent №: 12185254 – Configurable power amplifier backoff. This disclosure relates to wireless communication, where a mobile station receives information for power amplifier backoff adjustment. The station transmits uplink communications on a frequency channel using an adjusted backoff based on the received information.

Patent №: 12185241 – Tracking reference signal (TRS) for idle mode user equipment (UE). A base station method involves configuring and transmitting a tracking reference signal (TRS) with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for idle or inactive user equipment (UE) during a paging cycle. A corresponding UE method includes expecting a TRS when receiving a PDSCH.

Patent №: 12184570 – Phase tracking reference signals (PTRSs) with zero power (ZP) tones. This disclosure outlines a wireless communication method where a first wireless node receives information about PTRS tones from a second wireless node, designates some tones as ZP (zero power) and others as NZP (non-zero power) based on the information, and transmits PTRS on the NZP tones.

Patent №: 12184569 – Reference signal multiplexing with downlink data. This disclosure enables reference signal multiplexing with downlink data. A user equipment (UE) receives a reference signal configuration from a base station, detailing TRS or CSI-RS settings, and then receives a transmission with both the reference signal and data.

Patent №: 12185300 – Channel state information reporting for multi-transmission-reception-point operation. This disclosure describes techniques for channel state information (CSI) reporting in multi-transmission-reception-point operations. A wireless device receives CSI configuration indicating channel measurement resources for each transmission reception point and performs CSI reporting accordingly.

Patent №: 12185256 – Techniques for pathloss reference signal enhancements. In this disclosure, a user equipment (UE) receives a control signal from a base station to update a target pathloss reference signal. If the UE determines, after sampling, that it cannot update the signal, it adjusts uplink transmission power based on the existing pathloss reference signal or sets it to the maximum transmit power.

Patent №: 12185142 – Methods and apparatus for configuring W1, W2, and WF for port selection codebook enhancement. This disclosure provides methods and apparatus for port selection codebook configuration. A user equipment (UE) decodes a channel state information (CSI) report configuration from a base station, defining a port selection matrix, combinational coefficient matrix, and frequency basis selection matrix.

Patent №: 12185088 – Systems and methods for measurement solutions for inter-RAT MO from LTE MN in EN-DC. This disclosure enables user equipment (UE) to perform inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) measurements. The UE determines if an inter-RAT measurement object (MO) is configured with or without a measurement gap (MG).

Patent №: 12184428 – Methods for multi-PDSCH transmission with multiple PUCCH resources. This disclosure supports multi-PDSCH transmission with multiple PUCCH resources by signaling the PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing (K1), identifying PDSCH sets linked to PUCCH, and constructing Type 1 and Type 2 HARQ-ACK codebooks.

Patent №: 12184372 – Hierarchical channel state information (CSI) feedback with partial reciprocity with user equipment (UE). This disclosure describes a user equipment (UE) configuring channel state information (CSI) feedback using a hierarchical precoding scheme to reduce feedback overhead. The UE divides and sub-divides a frequency band to generate precoders, which are conveyed to a base station (eNB or gNB) via CSI feedback.
