US 12,192,793 B2 · Small cell millimeter wave and sub-6 GHz modules coexistence

Abstract

A network node apparatus may be configured to receive, from a first user equipment (UE), a first transmission including an indication of a first protocol identifier. The apparatus may further be configured to communicate with the first UE using a first protocol associated with the first protocol identifier. The apparatus may also be configured to receive, from a second UE, a second transmission including an indication of a second protocol identifier. The apparatus may further be configured to communicate with the second UE using a second protocol associated with the second protocol identifier. The apparatus may include a shared kernel space driver for a first PCIe interface and a second PCIe interface, a first modem connected to the shared kernel space driver via the first PCIe interface, and a second modem connected to the shared kernel space driver via the second PCIe interface.

Dependent claims

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network node, comprising:

a memory;
and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive, from a first user equipment (UE), a first transmission including a first protocol identifier;
communicate with the first UE using a first protocol associated with the first protocol identifier;
receive, from a second UE, a second transmission including a second protocol identifier;
receive, from the second UE, a third transmission including the first protocol identifier, wherein the second UE determines that a communication using the first protocol is better than the communication using the second protocol;
and
communicate with the second UE using the first protocol associated with the first protocol identifier;
and
communicate with the second UE using a second protocol associated with the second protocol identifier.
