Centurion Patentors as of January 14, 2025

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

Co-authored the book, “OFDMA Mobile Broadband Communications,” published by Cambridge University Press.

Patent №: 12200766 – Coordinated clear channel assessment (CCA) for wireless repeaters. Systems enable coordinated clear channel assessments (CCAs) in shared radiofrequency bands. A device receives a CCA trigger, performs a CCA, exchanges success signals, initiates channel occupancy time (COT), and forwards communication during the COT.

Patent №: 12200746 – Active interference cancellation for sidelink communications. Systems and techniques for wireless communications are disclosed. A method includes determining an active interference cancellation (AIC) area for sidelink communication protection and identifying frequency subcarriers to reduce interference within the AIC area.

Patent №: 12200669 – Cross-carrier feedback with sidelink carrier aggregation. A user equipment (UE) receives a configuration for sidelink carrier aggregation and cross-carrier feedback parameters, processes transmission blocks on multiple component carriers, and transmits feedback on a third carrier, including ACK/NACK bits and their associations with carriers or transmission blocks.

Patent №: 12200599 – Discovery of reconfigurable surfaces. A sensing signal is transmitted, and a detected signal is combined with a unique modulation sequence assigned to the surface, allowing the device to determine the surface’s presence in a geographic region.

Patent №: 12200532 – Delay bounds in integrated access and backhaul network. A method for wireless communication at an IAB node involves receiving delay parameters from an IAB donor and determining an access PDB for an air link with a child node or UE based on the received parameters.

Patent №: 12200509 – Using base stations for air-interface-based environment sensing without user equipment assistance. Techniques for environment sensing involve coordination among base stations. A transmitter base station configures and sends an RF sensing signal, while a receiver base station uses the signal to detect target objects.

Patent №: 12199922 – Channel quality indicator reporting across multiple subbands. Wireless communication supports group CQI reporting. A UE determines and reports a group CQI index from reference signals, enabling the base station to derive subband CQI indices.

Patent №: 12199734 – Techniques for using multi-connected repeaters in wireless communications. Aspects involve establishing control connections with nodes to enable a repeater function between wireless nodes. Control information is used to provide the function, resolve conflicts, and ensure seamless operation for upstream nodes.

Patent №: 12199732 – Beam failure detection and recovery for sidelink user equipments. A receiving UE obtains sidelink control information (SCI) from a transmitting UE, determines a block error rate (BLER), and performs beam failure recovery if the BLER meets a threshold.

Patent №: 12199709 – Control plane of a layer-1 millimeter wave repeater. A base station receives information about a repeater’s second interface via its first interface, determines a configuration, and communicates it back. The repeater uses the received configuration to set up its second interface.

Patent №: D1057709 – Electronic device.

Patent №: D1057682 – Component for a headphone.

Patent №: D1057663 – Connector.
