  • Publication number: 20240106617
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide multiple cell activation. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a wireless network, a command to activate multiple cells simultaneously. In response, the UE initiates cell activation procedures for the multiple cells. The cell activation procedures include waiting for an active transmission configuration indicator (TCI) indication. The UE monitors for the active TCI indication on any of the multiple cells. In response to receiving the active TCI indication on a first cell of the multiple cells, the UE determines one or more second cells of the multiple cells that share a same spatial relationship with the first cell according to one or more predetermined rule, and autonomously continues the cell activation procedures for the first cell and the one or more second cells.

  • Publication number: 20230362852
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: determining time or frequency synchronization information for each of one or more candidate synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for a secondary cell (SCell) before receipt of a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state activation command or a SCell activation command, receiving the TCI state activation command, and based on the received TCI state activation command, receiving at least one signal from the SCell using the determined time or frequency synchronization information for one of the one or more candidate SSBs.

  • Patent number: 11792881
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a user equipment (UE) to perform frequency offset (FO) delta tracking. For an anchor component carrier (CC), the UE wakes up to perform tracking updates on a plurality of successive DRX cycles. For the non-anchor CC, the UE determines a minimum update interval ?tupd, and schedules wake-ups on a first subset of the plurality of successive DRX cycles based on the minimum update interval ?tupd. For the first subset of the plurality of successive DRX cycles with scheduled wake-ups, the UE performs the tracking updates on the non-anchor CC and updates an FO delta between the anchor CC and the non-anchor CC. For a second subset of the plurality of successive DRX cycles without the scheduled wake-ups on the non-anchor CC, the UE applies the FO delta to correct for a frequency error.

  • Publication number: 20230087707
    Abstract: The present application relates to scheduling SSB measurements on SSB beams. In an example, a base station can transmit SSBs on SSB beams that form a serving cell. Depending on an SSB measurement on one of the SSB beams, a UE can schedule an additional SSB measurement on this SSB beam only or schedule SSB measurements on the different SSB beams.

  • Publication number: 20230032356
    Abstract: The present application relates to a paging mechanism. In an example, a network can transmit SSBs periodically on multiple SSB beams. A UE can receive, during a DRX cycle, an SSB per detected SSB beam and perform SSB-based measurements. Based on these measurements, the UE can perform PDCCH monitoring and PDSCH decoding on at least two beams. The PDCCH monitoring can indicate a scheduled paging message from the network. The PDSCH decoding can allow the UE to determine the paging message.

  • Publication number: 20220302977
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to report capabilities to as network. The UE transmits UE capabilities for channel state information (CSI) reporting to a base station, wherein the UE capabilities include a CSI-RS-resource-indicator(CRI)-rank indicator(RI)-channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting capability and a further CRI-RI-CQI reporting capability and receives a CSI report configuration from the base station, wherein the CSI report configuration is based on the UE capabilities.

  • Patent number: 9961580
    Abstract: A mobile terminal device includes a processing circuit and a receiver circuit. The processing circuit is configured to determine if a multimedia data stream associated with a mobile communication network is received, identify a set of reception timing occasions of the multimedia data stream, and calculate an alternate radio measurement schedule based on the set of reception timing occasions. The receiver circuit is configured to receive the multimedia data stream and perform one or more radio measurements according to the alternate radio measurement schedule if the multimedia data stream is received while the mobile terminal device is in an idle radio connection state, and perform one or more radio measurements according to a default radio measurement schedule if no multimedia data stream is received while the mobile terminal device is in the idle radio connection state.
