Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit sets of network coding encoded packets user equipments (UEs), and each set of network coding encoded packets may be associated with a redundancy overhead. The base station may dynamically identify the redundancy overhead for transmitting sets of network coding encoded packets to each UE based on a failure rate associated with a previous transmission of network coding encoded packets to that UE. For example, the base station may determine a failure rate associated with a transmission of a first set of network coding encoded packets and may identify a redundancy overhead associated with one or more second sets of network coding encoded packets based on the determined failure rate. In some cases, the base station may identify different redundancy overheads for transmissions of network coding encoded packets to different UEs.

Abstract: A base station can maintain a transmission beam toward a user device, even in changing conditions, by realtime incremental feedback in 5G and 6G. The incremental feedback is a compact one-of-three request, from the user device, indicating a higher, keep-same, or lower adjustment of a transmission parameter such as the power or beam angle. The base station then adds or subtracts a predetermined increment to that transmission parameter, thereby improving reception with each downlink message. Such incremental adjustment continues with each message to the user device, until the optimum value is reached, at which time the user device selects the keep-same choice. For efficient optimization, the base station can vary the increment size, for example escalating to larger sizes upon repeated same-sign requests, and then de-escalating to smaller increments for fine-tuning and beam optimization. Many other aspects are disclosed.
