Centurion Patentors as of May 13, 2025

Yan Zhou

Staff Engineer (Wi-Fi Advanced R&D) at Qualcomm.

Patent №: 12302399 – Random access channel occasions and resources for interference mitigation. A first UE receives a downlink communication scheduled on a resource overlapping with a RACH occasion. It detects cross-link interference, reports it over a third resource, and receives a second downlink on a new resource based on that report.

Patent №: 12302151 – User equipment processing capability aspects for cross-link interference measurement. A first UE receives downlink data on a resource that overlaps with a RACH transmission. It detects interference, reports it, and is reassigned a new resource for continued downlink reception.

Patent №: 12302150 – Request-based interference management. A first network entity sends a request to a second entity to transmit measurement reference signals. It then measures interference based on those signals to manage interference effectively.

Kyungmin Park

Research Engineer at Ofinno.

Patent №: 12302438 – Timer for small data transmission.

A wireless device suspends radio bearers per an SDT setup, resumes the SDT bearer when needed, and sends an RRC resume request. It also indicates non-SDT data availability and receives an RRC response.

Patent №: 12302423 – Charging aggregation control for network slices. A PCF receives a PDU session request with S-NSSAI and NSI ID, then a CSP ID in a separate message. It maps the NSI ID to the CSP ID and selects a charging function based on that mapping.

Patent №: 12302388 – Bandwidth part switching and determination of a contention window. A base station sets LBT contention windows for two BWPs using HARQ feedback. After switching to the second BWP, it uses the minimum window and receives data upon clear channel detection.

Kai Zhang

Head of video coding standard team in Bytedance.

Patent №:  12301863 – Affine prediction in video coding.

A video decoding device checks a syntax element to determine if 6-parameter affine prediction is enabled. If so, it uses this method to generate a predictive block and combines it with residual data to reconstruct the original block.

Patent №: 12301845 – Parameter derivation in cross component mode. A method converts a chroma video block by scaling its chroma residual using a coefficient. This coefficient is derived from nearby luma samples in predefined positions.

Kapil Gulati

Principal Engineer at Qualcomm.

Patent №:  12302094 – Techniques for sidelink connectionless groupcast communication using a security key.

A UE requests a security key from a node for groupcast without RRC, including a distance parameter. The node returns the key.

Patent №: 12301489 – Managing wireless communications for leaky-wave antennas. A communication device generates and transmits a beacon signal using a nonuniform power spectral density profile, with control signaling indicating power offsets for resource element subsets. It may also receive such signaling to properly decode a received beacon signal.
