Patent №:  12262414 – Beamforming failure detection and recovery in high mmwave systems.

Beam determination allows an access node and UE to select beams for uplink/downlink. The AN sends reference signals like CSI-RS, which the UE uses for beam failure detection and recovery.

Patent №:  12262406 – Enhanced physical uplink shared channel transmission in wireless communications. Uplink performance is improved using TTI bundling with variable sizes, set by the base station or derived by the UE. The UE can send frequency hopping assist info and maintain consistent power across TTI bundles for better channel estimation, while staying within power limits.

Patent №:  12262399 – Latency reduction for beam failure recovery. The present application relates to devices, systems, and methods for reducing latency in beam failure recovery (BFR), specifically for TRP-specific BFR, enabling faster and more efficient recovery in wireless communication systems.

Patent №:  12262395 – Sidelink control information processing. Embodiments describe V2X-capable wireless devices using sidelink communication with a two-stage SCI protocol: Stage 1 SCI on PSCCH and Stage 2 SCI on PSSCH. Polar codes and channel interleaving are used, with Stage 2 scrambling based on the CRC of Stage 1. HARQ feedback collisions are avoided through priority analysis.

Patent №:  12262349 – Mechanisms for indicating beam directions. A base station sends beam indication info to UEs, showing which beam it uses in each time unit. UEs use this to align their transmissions or receptions. The info is sent dynamically and may use different beam types and encoding schemes.

Patent №:  12262335 – Synchronization signal block reception in wireless communications. A user equipment (UE) monitors a frequency band during a DRS window for a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a network cell, determines the SSB index using received information, and synchronizes with the cell based on that index.

Patent №:  12262331 – Power value report for integrated access and backhaul. The present application relates to apparatus, systems, and methods for power headroom reporting in integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, enabling efficient power management and communication within wireless networks.

Patent №:  12261663 – Enhancement of beam management for multi-TRP operation. Channel state information (CSI) reporting is configured by sending a CSI configuration to a UE connected to two TRPs. The configuration includes separate CMR resource groups for each TRP. The UE sends CSI measurements based on this setup, which the network uses to schedule downlink transmissions.

Patent №:  12262417 – Method and device in communication nodes for wireless communication.

A communication node receives signaling with K1 first-type and K2 second-type signals (fixed total). It sends a first signal (from K1), receives a second to schedule a third, and if a condition is met, sends a fourth (from K2). This helps improve random access success by allowing preamble group reselection.

Patent №:  12262385 – Method and device in nodes used for large-delay wireless communication. A node receives first information and signaling, then transmits a signal. The information determines a parameter group (e.g., transmitter type, height, or time offset), which is used to select a time length set. The signaling selects a target time length from that set, helping ensure successful uplink transmission.

Patent №:  12261732 – Method and device in communication node used for wireless communication. The node receives first and second information, then transmits a radio signal using a subcarrier spacing (SCS) based on a first SCS. Transmission timing is determined by the sum of two timing adjustments: one based on prior signals and the other split into two sub-adjustments derived from the received information.

Patent №:  12258063 – Belt assembly and arrangement for vehicle. A vehicle belt assembly includes a belt body with at least one loop-free end, where a first attachment is fixed. This attachment creates a step relative to the belt’s side surface, forming a mounting end. The design enhances appearance and mounting accuracy.
