  • Patent number: 11785612
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of reducing blind decoding attempts by a User Equipment (UE) in a telecommunication network. The method comprises configuring a Search Space (SS) configuration to the UE. A Base Station (BS) signals one of a subset of Aggregation Levels (ALs) to be monitored based on channel quality of the UE and an associated time period, and a value of multiplication factor (k) and an associated time period. The UE iteratively monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) on the ALs signalled by the BS till the UE stops receiving a new configuration. The UE performs one of adopting an original configuration, requesting the BS for a new configuration, utilizing a default configuration or utilizing an original configuration.

  • Patent number: 11770813
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive a downlink control information (DCI) message including an indication to update a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state associated with a communications channel between the UE and a base station. In some examples, the indication may trigger the UE (e.g., implicitly or explicitly) to participate in a beam management procedure involving one or more beams associated with the TCI state. As such, the UE may participate in the beam management procedure with the base station, where the beam management procedure may include the transmission of reference signals (e.g., sounding reference signals (SRSs), the reception of reference signals (e.g., channel state information (CSI) reference signals (RSs)), or a combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 11743915
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for providing two channel state information (CSI) reports based on sidelink CSI reference signal (RS) respectively to a sidelink user equipment (UE) and a network entity (e.g., a base station). Existing sidelink CSI reporting between UEs is not shared with the network. The lack of information on the network side prevents scheduling improvements. Therefore, by generating a second CSI report to the network, the network can have information to better schedule sidelink UE transmissions and to introduce precoding matrix indicator (PMI) signaling.
