Centurion Patentors as of October 22, 2024

Welcome to October 22, 2024. This week, we aim to celebrate the centurion patentors who have reached noteworthy milestones in their fields.

From November 2011 to August 2015, Juan served as Head of Qualcomm Research Germany before returning to Qualcomm’s San Diego headquarters, where he played a key role in accelerating 5G standards development.

A recognized 5G expert, Juan co-authors Qualcomm’s 5G Book: Fundamentals of 5G Communications: Connectivity for Enhanced Mobile Broadband and Beyond. His expertise extends to LTE and WiFi, having worked extensively on both technologies’ design, standardization, and modem implementation.

Patent №: 12127174 (October 22, 2024) – Facilitating communication based on frequency ranges. This disclosure presents techniques for enabling user equipment (UE), such as a reduced capability UE, to associate TCI states or spatial relations with specific frequency hopping regions. The method involves determining a TCI state or spatial relation while communicating in one frequency range, then applying this information when switching to another frequency range for continued communication.

Patent №: 12127018 (October 22, 2024) – Unified measurement configurations for cross-link interference, self-interference, and wireless sensing. User equipment (UE) receives a measurement configuration tied to a common object or resource pool for cross-link interference (CLI), self-interference (SI), or wireless sensing measurements. The UE performs these measurements based on the configuration and transmits a report with the results.

Patent №: 12126567 (October 22, 2024) – Multiple bit feedback channel. One method involves receiving multiple transmissions from user equipment (UE), determining a resource set for feedback, and transmitting the feedback. Another method includes sending multiple transmissions to a UE and monitoring feedback based on a codebook size.

Patent №: 12124844 (October 22, 2024) – Methods and arrangements to process comments. The system compiles code into intermediary code, compares it to a library of snippets linked to comments, and identifies obsolete code. It may also generate recommendations for code updates and modify the code based on feedback.

Patent №: 12127271 (October 22, 2024) – PUSCH resource selection in 2-step random access. A wireless device receives a two-step RA configuration with two resource allocations for PUSCH transmission of the first message (msgA), each linked to different sets of preambles. The device selects one resource allocation and its associated preamble based on the configuration and payload size then transmits msgA using the selected allocation.

Patent №: 12127270 (October 22, 2024) – Recovery/fallback after unsuccessful 2-step random access attempt. A wireless device triggers a random access (RA) process, selects a first beam based on a two-step RA configuration, ensuring the beam meets a predefined threshold, and performs the RA process using the selected beam.
