Centurion Patentors as of March 25, 2025

Welcome to March 25, 2025. This week, we aim to celebrate the centurion patentors who have reached noteworthy milestones in their fields.

Patent №:  12262389 – Techniques for indicating a sidelink receiver. A base station sends a grant to a UE for sidelink communication, including a destination ID and resource mapping. If the receiver differs from the default, the grant identifies the new receiver.

Patent №:  12262363 – DCI for common TCI state update. Methods and systems are described where a base station sends a grant to a first UE for sidelink communication, indicating resource allocation and a destination identifier. The identifier is based on information from the first UE. If the receiver differs from the default, the base station specifies the new receiver in the grant.

Patent №:  12262287 – Wireless signaling in federated learning for machine learning components. The disclosure relates to wireless communication, where a base station sends a federated learning configuration to a UE, specifying parameters for a machine learning procedure. The UE then sends a local update to the base station based on this configuration.

Patent №:  12261800 – Non-overlapped cross-link interference reference signal transmission and reception windows. The disclosure involves a central network entity configuring a network node with transmission and reception windows for inter-network node cross-link interference (CLI) measurement, ensuring the transmission windows do not overlap with reception windows.

Patent №: 12261799 – Single frequency network transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state activation. The aspects involve activating TCI states based on a TCI state update list with multiple component carriers. A message includes two TCI states for SFN operation, and the UE activates the states for each carrier based on the serving cell ID and SFN configuration.

Patent №:  12261792 – Group-common reference signal for over-the-air aggregation in federated learning. The network entity configures a group of UEs to simultaneously transmit reference signals and gradient vectors. The entity receives the signals and vectors, then calculates an average gradient vector for federated learning.

Patent №:  12261728 – DMRS with dynamic and controllable PAPR properties. Aspects enable the generation and transmission of MDMRS to match nonlinear model impacts between DMRS and data in both DFT-s-OFDM and CP-OFDM waveforms. The UE transmits MDMRS with a PAPR distribution matching the data signal’s PAPR.

Patent №:  12261672 – Beam failure recovery request for per beam group beam failure recovery. The disclosure relates to wireless communication, where a UE detects beam failure in a first beam group of a cell. Based on uplink resource availability in a second beam group, the UE selectively transmits a beam failure recovery request for the first beam group.

Patent №:  12261669 – Multiple panel assistance information to determine a network configuration. A UE transmits UE assistance information (UAI) to a device, including antenna usage, power consumption, and thermal overhead. This helps the device optimize the network configuration to reduce the UE’s power and thermal impact.

Patent №:  12261668 – Enhanced UE behavior for BFD/BFR in DRX mode. A UE detects a condition during the first DRX ON period before a DRX OFF period and requests an extension of the DRX ON period. The network node approves the request, and both delay the start of the DRX OFF period by a specified time based on the approval.

Patent №:  12261653 – Beam management enhancements in model-based channel tracking. The method involves receiving a model configuration for channel conditions between two network entities and tracking variations in the channel condition for multiple beam pairs across overlapping sessions. Each beam pair includes a transmission and reception beam.

A first device receives a configured grant and transmits a PSCCH or PSSCH to a second device. It then receives a dynamic grant with an index linking to the configured grant and retransmits the same signal using new sidelink resources.

Patent №:  12259489 – Method for determining location of V2X device in wireless communication system supporting sidelink, and apparatus therefor. A method and apparatus are disclosed for determining the position of a V2X device in a wireless system. The device receives signals from two RSUs via two antennas placed at a known distance. It measures the reception time differences for each signal between the antennas and calculates the device’s position based on these time differences.
