  • Patent number: 11546913
    Abstract: A data transmitting method, a data receiving method, a terminal device, and a network device are provided. The method includes: determining, by a terminal device, a target resource based on a time index and/or configuration information; and transmitting, by the terminal device, data to a network device on the target resource. The terminal device can control resource granularity of the target resource to meet transmission requirements of the terminal device, and can further avoid an actual data transmission process from occurring only on a same frequency domain resource and can further improve the frequency diversity gain in the non-slot transmission. In addition, randomness of interference can be enhanced as much as possible to avoid a same user from always or frequently being in conflict, so when a DMRS of the terminal device conflicts with that of other terminals, performance of user identification can be effectively improved.

  • Patent number: 11510272
    Abstract: A telecommunication network associated with a wireless telecommunication provider can be configured to switch between New Radio (NR) Dual Connectivity (DC) and NR Carrier Aggregation (CA) in 5G cellular networks. According to examples, a UE is not limited to using a single mode (e.g., either NR CA or NR DC) that is initially selected for use by the UE. For example, a UE can be reconfigured during a session to switch from NR DC to NR CA when the UE moves toward mid-cell and/or a cell edge. In other examples, the UE can be reconfigured to switch from NR CA to NR DC when the UE moves closer to the cell. To determine when to switch, one or more network conditions (e.g., UE RF conditions) can be monitored. In some examples, a gNB can monitor power headroom reports (PHRs) received from the UE to determine when to switch.

  • Patent number: 11496964
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to enable a user equipment (UE) to perform power-boosting to increase power for specific portions (e.g., repetitions, symbols, slots) of an uplink transmission, where the portion may overlap with a previously-scheduled uplink transmission from another UE. The base station may configure the UE to apply power-boosting to all portions of the uplink transmission or over specific slots or repetitions of the uplink transmission, or to apply power-boosting if the uplink transmission occupies one slot or repetition. The base station may configure the UE semi-statically or dynamically with the power-boosting configuration, and may configure the UE to perform power-boosting for repetitions of the uplink transmission corresponding to one or more predefined transmission reception points, panels, beams, or precoders. The UE may transmit the uplink transmission to the base station based on the power-boosting configuration.

  • Patent number: 11444680
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may support signaling an indication of a duration (for example, in UE capability information) for the UE to perform a beam switch (for example, to switch between different directional beams). Among other examples, base stations may be configured with a default value related to a duration for UEs to perform a beam switch. Thus, in an absence of the above signaling by the UE, base stations may identify a duration for UEs to perform a beam switch according to the configured default value. Additionally, base stations may allocate symbols between different physical channels (such as, downlink channels or uplink channels) related to directional communications. One or more symbols may be exclusive of or be part of resources related to the physical channels to provide improvements to beam switching for UEs.
