  • Publication number: 20240146491
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods for a network node to activate semi-persistent sounding reference signal (SP-SRS) resources for transmission by a user equipment (UE). Such methods include sending, to the UE, a control message comprising configuration of a set of SP-SRS resources associated with a particular serving cell of the wireless communication network. Such methods include sending to the UE a further control message for activating the configured set of SP-SRS resources. The further control message includes information identifying an SP-SRS resource of the set of SP-SRS resources to be activated, and an indication of the identified SP-SRS resource's spatial relation with a further resource that is not associated with the particular serving cell. The indication comprising an identity of a further serving cell that is different from the particular serving cell and that is associated with the further resource. Other embodiments include complementary methods for a UE.

  • Patent number: 11968542
    Abstract: A wireless device (WD), network node and methods are provided for rate matching using dynamically indicated reference signals in a co-carrier co-existence scenario. According to one aspect, a method in a network node includes determining a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource element (RE) mapping for a plurality of aperiodic zero power reference signal (ZP-RS) resources. The method also includes transmitting to a first wireless device (WD) configured to operate according to a first radio access technology (RAT), a first indication of first aperiodic ZP-RS resources of the plurality of aperiodic ZP-RS resources to be excluded during a PDSCH RE mapping by the first WD to avoid a conflict with second aperiodic ZP-RS resources indicated to a second WD configured to operate according to a second RAT.

  • Publication number: 20240129069
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods for a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a radio access network (RAN). Such methods include receiving, from a radio node in the RAN, a new feedback indicator (NFI) that indicates whether acknowledgement signaling previously scheduled for transmission by the UE was received by the radio node. The acknowledgement signaling is associated with one or more first downlink (DL) hybrid ARQ (HARQ) processes. Such methods include, when the NFI indicates the acknowledgement signaling was not received by the RAN node, selecting a first HARQ codebook to be used for encoding the acknowledgement signaling together with further acknowledgement signaling associated with one or more second DL HARQ processes. Such methods include, using the selected first HARQ codebook, encoding the acknowledgement signaling and the further acknowledgement signaling to obtain first encoded information and transmitting the first encoded information to the radio node via an uplink (UL) channel.

  • Patent number: 11929957
    Abstract: Embodiments herein show a method performed by a user equipment for handling communication via a set of serving cells comprising a first serving cell and a second serving cell of a communication network. The user equipment receives a grant on a first serving cell, wherein the grant comprises a first identifier identifying Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resources of the first serving cell. Furthermore, the user equipment calculates a first CSI report for the first serving cell using the CSI-RS resources identified by the first identifier; and calculates a second CSI report for a second serving cell, using CSI-RS resources of the second serving cell identified by a second identifier, the second identifier being received previously in a grant on the second serving cell. The user equipment then transmits the first and second CSI reports to a network node serving the first serving cell.
