  • Patent number: 11722200
    Abstract: When a TRP performs a TRP beam sweep for a WD with multiple antenna arrangements and the WD is expected to perform an UL transmission (e.g., the WD has at least a threshold amount of data in its transmit buffer) and UL beam selection is based on DL beam selection, in one embodiment the WD takes the available output power of the different antenna arrangements in to account during RSRP calculations for the different candidate TRP TX beams such that the RSRP from an antenna arrangement that has lower available output power is weighted less compared to the RSRP measured from an antenna arrangement that has higher available output power.

  • Patent number: 11696331
    Abstract: Logical channel prioritization and mapping to different numerologies is disclosed for 5G networks having multiple network slices operable for communication via logical channels associated with different numerologies. For user equipments (UEs) configured to handle multiple numerologies, different rules for mapping logical channels associated with different numerologies may be defined for data and non-data channels. Thus, when new data arrives at a UE for communication via a logical channel associated with a different numerology, the UE checks whether the mapping rules would allow multiplexing of the new numerology data onto an existing data channel. If no data channel has already been allocated or if an allocated data channel may not include data from the new numerology, then a mapping is followed for specifically requesting resources for communication of the new numerology data. The new mapping may trigger scheduling request or random access procedures specifically associated with the new numerology.

  • Patent number: 11617205
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some cases, a sidelink user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration for performing a channel sensing procedure of a sidelink resource selection procedure for identifying sidelink resource candidates in a resource selection window. The configuration may indicate a first channel metric and a second channel metric for performing the channel sensing procedure. The UE may measure reference signaling in a sensing window according to one or both of the first and second channel metrics based on a duplex mode of the UE while performing the channel sensing. The reference signaling may correspond to a set of sidelink resource candidates in a resource selection window. The UE may determine an available set of sidelink resource candidates for a sidelink transmission from the set of sidelink resource candidates based on the measuring.

  • Patent number: 11601885
    Abstract: Systems and methods of transmitting a multi-user (MU) wake-up packet in FDMA. In the wake-up setup stage, an STA informs the AP that it can resolve an MU wake-up packet transmitted in FDMA. Accordingly, AP allocates a frequency channel to the STA in a WUR setup response frame which indicates a channel offset relative to the primary channel. Moreover, if a WUR channel allocated to an STA is inaccessible or there is on pending wake-up signal for the STA, no wake-up signal is included in the MU wake-up packet while any other accessible allocated channels may still be utilized for transmitting the scheduled wake-up signals. During such a transmission, an inaccessible channel may be punctured; and an accessible channel having no pending wake-up signal may be used to carry an invalid wake-up signal or a legacy preamble followed with no wake-up signal.

  • Patent number: 11582804
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to UL communications in a wireless network are provided. A UE receives an indication of a plurality of TXOPs for a RACH procedure from a BS. In an embodiment, the UE starts a timer after either successfully transmitting a random access message to the BS or failing to succeed in any of the TXOPs. In another embodiment, the UE starts the timer at a pre-agreed time after one of the TXOPs, regardless of whether the random access message has been successfully transmitted yet or not. In another embodiment, the UE receives as part of a RACH response an indication of whether the RACH response is split into multiple parts. If the UE does not locate an identifier corresponding to the UE in the RACH response, the UE checks for the indication and, if present, listen for the next RACH response identified from the indication.

  • Patent number: 11570028
    Abstract: This application provides a physical broadcast channel sending/receiving method and an apparatus. In the method, after receiving two broadcast channel signals on two corresponding physical broadcast channels at two time-frequency resource locations, the terminal device determines that information other than an offset of a corresponding time-frequency resource location is the same in two pieces of broadcast information carried in the two broadcast channel signals, obtains a time offset difference between the foregoing two time-frequency resource locations, and generates a scrambling sequence based on the time offset difference; and the terminal device separately descrambles the two broadcast channel signals based on the scrambling sequence and a preset scrambling sequence, thereby implementing joint decoding on the two broadcast channel signals, to obtain one piece of broadcast information.
