  • Patent number: 11882601
    Abstract: Examples of techniques for dynamically controlling data bursts are described. In an example, an access point (AP) monitors a link quality between the AP and a client device associated with the AP. The AP determines a channel occupancy of a channel in which the AP is configured to operate. In response to determining that the channel occupancy is less than a channel busy threshold, the AP modifies a burst duration for traffic flow between the AP and the client device based on the link quality. The AP communicates with the client device using the channel for the modified burst duration.

  • Patent number: 11876636
    Abstract: [Object] To improve the reliability by using an acknowledgement response while using radio resources efficiently in multicast transmission over wireless transmission. [Solution] A plurality of wireless communication devices included in a multicast group, when receiving a data frame, transmit simultaneously an acknowledgement response of multicast using spatial multiplexing in response to an acknowledgement request from a transmission source. On the other hand, a wireless communication device of the transmission source decomposes the acknowledgement responses simultaneously received into the original individual acknowledgement responses and restores them using signal processing based on information on a channel with each wireless communication device of a transmission destination.

  • Patent number: 11863495
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives, from a network entity, a message indicating a change in a set of downlink beams for channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs), and a context associated with the change. The UE saves state values in an auto-encoder neural network in response to receiving the message and associates the saved state values in the auto-encoder neural network to the context in the received message. The UE also resets the state values in the auto-encoder neural network in response to receiving the message and estimates a channel state based on the CSI-RSs received on the changed set of downlink beams. The UE compresses the channel state with the auto-encoder neural network based on the reset state values and further sends to the network entity, the compressed channel state.

  • Patent number: 11812460
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Aspects of the disclosure describe using sidelink resources to identify possible interference (e.g., including cross-link interference) in a first resources used for communications between a base station and a user equipment (UE). With such techniques, a base station may transmit a conditional grant to a UE that schedules resources for the UE to use to communicate with the base station (e.g., either uplink or downlink). The UE may monitor sidelink resources to identify an indication of interference for the resources scheduled by the conditional grant. Different UEs may exchange messages or may transmit energy over the sidelink network to indicate resources are being used to communicate between base stations and UEs. The UE may transmit an acknowledgement or a negative acknowledgement to the base station indicating whether the resources scheduled by the conditional grant are to be used by the UE.

  • Patent number: 11791969
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, signaling indicating a channel state information (CSI) report configuration. The CSI report configuration may indicate a mapping between one or more CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resources or one or more CSI-RS port groups and one or more antenna panels or antenna subpanels of the base station. The UE may generate CSI feedback based on the mapping. In some cases, the UE may generate the CSI feedback based on multiple hypotheses that correspond to CSI-RS measurements. In some examples, the multiple hypotheses may include a set of hypothesis groups based on one or more antenna panels or antenna subpanels of the base station. The UE may transmit a message reporting the CSI feedback to the base station.

  • Patent number: 11785638
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and a base station may perform a contention-free random access (CFRA) procedure to establish a connection. The base station may transmit control signaling indicating a configuration for a first message of the CFRA including a preamble. The UE may transmit the first message in accordance with the configuration. The preamble of the first message may indicate a request for the base station to use repetition to transmit downlink control information (DCI) that schedules a second message of the CFRA procedure. In some examples, the UE may transmit the first message based on determining that one or more measurement values satisfy one or more thresholds. In response to the request, the base station may transmit one or more repetitions of the DCI and may transmit the second message of the CFRA procedure in accordance with the DCI.

  • Patent number: 11785491
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a transmitting device may transmit a reference signal indicating a first service type supported by the transmitting device and a receiving device may receive the reference and determine whether to measure a signal strength associated with the reference signal based on determining whether the first service type supported by the transmitting device and a second service type supported by the receiving device are a same service type. For example, the receiving device may measure the reference signal if the first service type indicated by the reference signal and the second service type supported by the receiving device are the same service type. Alternatively, the receiving device may refrain from measuring the reference signal if the first service type indicated by the reference signal and the second service type supported by the receiving device are different service types.
