  • Patent number: 11924884
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a random access channel (RACH) occasion (RO) configuration that includes information related to ordered preamble resources. The UE may generate a preamble resource index according to various parameters selected based on the RO configuration information that relates to the ordered preamble resources. The UE may generate an uplink RACH message that includes a preamble based at least in part on the preamble resource index and a payload associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource unit (PRU) mapped to the preamble resource index. After decoding the uplink RACH message, the base station may send a response message including scrambled downlink control information (e.g., based on a scrambling identifier or payload information associated with the uplink RACH message).

  • Patent number: 11916671
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for interleaved mapping are described. In some implementations, a transmitting device identifies a set of virtual resource blocks (VRBs) corresponding to at least one code block to be transmitted to a receiving device. The transmitting device may determine that a quantity of VRBs to be transmitted to the receiving device is different than a quantity of entries within a regular interleaving matrix. Thus, the transmitting device may map each of the VRBs to a physical resource block (PRB) according to an irregular interleaving matrix to generate at least one interleaved code block. The transmitting device may transmit the interleaved code block to the receiving device. The receiving device may receive the interleaved code block and identify the PRBs associated with the interleaved code block. The receiving device may map each PRB within the interleaved code block to a VRB according to an irregular deinterleaving matrix.

  • Patent number: 11910319
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to transmitting and receiving a group wake-up signal (WUS) in conjunction with an ungrouped WUS. A base station may group one or more UEs in a UE group, while other UEs may not be assigned to a UE group. The configuration of WUS resources and WUS sequences for grouped UEs and other UEs is a challenge. The base station may transmit, to one or more UEs in the UE group, a resource allocation of a group WUS resource within a set of WUS resources associated with a paging occasion that is assigned to the one or more UEs in the UE group. A UE, after receiving the resource allocation, may determine a location of the group WUS resource within the set of WUS resources. The UE may monitor for a group WUS at the determined location in the resource allocation of the group WUS resource.

  • Patent number: 11882612
    Abstract: Techniques described provide dependent procedure operation configured for avoiding or mitigating one or more aspect of the impact on the dependent procedure of cancelling an uplink transmission. One or more attributes (e.g., a transmission indication attribute) associated with a cancelled uplink transmission may be designated for dependent procedure operation, such as for indicating whether the cancelled uplink transmission is considered either as having been transmitted or not having been transmitted. The one or more attributes associated with a cancelled uplink transmission designated for dependent procedure operation may be based upon whether the cancelling the first uplink transmission is a fast cancellation or is a slow cancellation. The designation of a transmission indication attribute for dependent procedure operation may correspond to the dependent procedure and/or its operation. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
