Publication number: 20240172136Abstract: A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions to configure a UE for a power control procedure in a 5G NR and beyond wireless network. The instructions cause the UE to perform operations including decoding RRC signaling received from a base station. The RRC signaling includes one or more open-loop power control parameters. A reference signal received power (RSRP) is determined. The RSRP is associated with a reference signal received from the base station using a receive beam. A path loss associated with the receive beam is determined based on the RSRP. A transmission (Tx) power is determined using the one or more open-loop power control parameters and the path loss. The Tx power is adjusted based on a power threshold shared between at least two antenna panels of a plurality of antenna panels. Uplink data is encoded for transmission to the base station according to the adjusted Tx power.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Alexei Davydov, Guotong Wang, Bishwarup Mondal, Avik Sengupta

Publication number: 20240154658Abstract: An apparatus for use in an O-RAN base station includes processing circuitry. To configure the O-RAN base station for signal processing in an O-RAN network, the processing circuitry is to decode an SRS and a DMRS in a UL stream received from at least one UE. Channel estimation is performed based on the SRS to obtain a channel estimate matrix of channel estimates associated with reception of the UL stream. A noise covariance is generated using the DMRS.

Patent number: 11930479Abstract: Systems and methods for transmission of PDSCH and HARQ-ACK feedback in 5G networks are described. The TDRA of PDSCH repetitions are indicated in a DCI by a SLIV sequence configuration that contains multiple SLIV sequences. Each SLIV sequence for a slot is associated with an independent repetition factor and may also be associated with a partition factor to indicate a partition within the slot. One or more TRPs may be used to transmit each PDSCH repetition. The TCI states are mapped to the PDSCH repetitions in a round-robin fashion using an offset in terms of number of PDSCH repetitions from where TCI state switching starts and a number of consecutive PDSCH repetitions per TCI state. The HARQ-ACK bits in response to the PDSCH from the TRPs are concatenated in order of increasing control resource set higher layer signaling index.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Bishwarup Mondal, Gang Xiong, Alexei Davydov, Avik Sengupta, Sergey Panteleev, Debdeep Chatterjee
