  • Publication number: 20220303900
    Abstract: A wake up signal scheme between a network and a user equipment (UE) operating in a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) state. The UE monitors a wake up signal (WUS) occasion to determine whether a WUS is received during the WUS occasion, when the WUS is received, determines whether the WUS identifies the UE, when the WUS is received and identifies the UE, monitors an OnDuration of a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle corresponding to the WUS and when the WUS is not received or the WUS does not identify the UE, remains in a sleep state during the OnDuration corresponding to the WUS.

  • Patent number: 11395155
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) are described. Aspects of the described techniques may include the user equipment measuring signal aspects for a plurality of respective receive beams for receiving communications associated with a synchronization signal block transmitted by a base station on a transmit beam. From the measured signal aspects, the UE may determine that a receive beam from the plurality of receive beams is a preferred beam for receipt of communications from the base station transmitted on the transmit beam. With the determined preferred beam, the UE may initiate a beam-sweeping procedure to re-measure the plurality of UE receive beams, where the UE measures the first UE receive beam before measuring others of the plurality of UE receive beams.

  • Patent number: 11277192
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may monitor multiple beam pair links (BPLs) including a first BPL currently used by the UE to communicate with a network node (e.g., a base station), and a second BPL. The first BPL comprises a first network beam and a first UE beam, and the second BPL comprises a second network beam and a second UE beam. The UE may decide to switch beams from using the first BPL to using the second BPL based on signaling from the network node or autonomously. When the beam switch is made, the UE switches uplink (UL) transmission from over the first UE beam to over the second UE beam. After the beam switch is made, the UE transmits in the UL over the second UE beam using UL timing adjusted based on the first and second propagation delays.

  • Publication number: 20200413394
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating UE beam selection based on service demands are disclosed herein. An example method of wireless communication includes determining to select an UL beam having a higher EIRP capability than an EIRP capability associated with a current beam for transmitting on UL when at least one of a target transmit power based on a TPC exceeds an EIRP capability associated with the current beam or when an amount of data in a buffer of the UE is greater than a data threshold. The example method also includes determining, upon determining to select the UL beam, a set of UL beams with an EIRP capability satisfying an EIRP capability threshold and a respective beamforming direction corresponding to a beamforming direction associated with the current beam, selecting one UL beam of the set of UL beams, and transmitting on UL on the selected UL beam.

  • Patent number: 10715233
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses relate to sounding reference signal (SRS) transmit antenna selection in wireless communication systems. For example, a user equipment (UE) may select, from a set of antennas, a subset of antennas for SRS transmission based on at least one antenna selection parameter. The UE may further transmit, on an uplink communication channel, the SRS using the subset of antennas to a network entity. In some aspects, the at least one antenna selection parameter may include a reference signal receive power (RSRP) value, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value, a spectrum efficiency value, and/or an SNR value and a channel correlation value.

  • Patent number: 10667222
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for the user equipment (UE) to select a power management mode from a plurality of power management modes supported by the UE based on decoding of a portion of the downlink subframe. For example, when the UE receives a subframe from a base station, the UE may decode a control channel region of the subframe to determine whether the subframe includes a channel grant allocated to the UE. If no channel grant is included in the subframe, the UE may select a power management mode for the UE from the plurality of power management modes supported by the UE that maximizes the UE's sleep opportunities while balancing the deficient performance costs.

  • Patent number: 10587298
    Abstract: Techniques for providing transmission throttling for emission exposure management are described. Embodiments implement duty cycle based transmission throttling for emission exposure management. Transmission throttling implemented in accordance with embodiments drops or skips transmission of some portion of transmission blocks of a communication process, such as to drop some transmission blocks providing retransmission of data. Transmit power levels utilized with respect to each of transmission blocks transmitted may be closer to that of a transmit power control target level (e.g., meeting the TPC target level) while nevertheless meeting an emission exposure limit level. Embodiments may, for example, be implemented with respect to a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
