Patent number: 11824688Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a signaling communication that includes information specifying whether a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) precoding resource block group includes a same quantity of resource blocks (RBs) that is included in a CSI reporting subband configured for the UE. The CSI-RS precoding resource block group may enable the UE to perform a channel estimation based at least in part on a CSI-RS transmitted by a base station. The UE may perform the channel estimation based at least in part on the CSI-RS transmitted by the base station. The channel estimation may be based at least in part on whether the CSI-RS precoding resource block group includes the same quantity of RBs that is included in the CSI reporting subband configured for the UE. Numerous other aspects are provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Bo Chen, Pavan Kumar Vitthaladevuni, Joseph Binamira Soriaga, Ruifeng Ma, Alexandros Manolakos, Yeliz Tokgoz, Tingfang Ji, Hao Xu

Patent number: 11825344Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform a measurement operation to attain multiple measurements to report to a base station. The measurements may correspond to a first number of bits if reported. The UE may compress the measurements using an encoder neural network (NN) to obtain an encoder output indicating the measurements. This encoder output may include a second number of bits that is less than the first number of bits. The UE may report the encoder output to the base station in this compressed form. At the base station, the encoder output may be decompressed according to a decoder NN. Once the base station decompresses the encoder output, the UE and base station may communicate according to the measurements determined from the decompression. In some cases, the base station may perform load redistribution based on the measurements.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Taesang Yoo, Naga Bhushan, Pavan Kumar Vitthaladevuni, June Namgoong, Krishna Kiran Mukkavilli, Tingfang Ji, Jay Kumar Sundararajan

Patent number: 11811570Abstract: Sounding reference signals (SRS) transmitted by a UE, e.g., for positioning or channel estimation, may be configured for one or both of frequency tone level cyclic shift and symbol level code, which, for example, enables multiplexing a greater number of UEs. The frequency tone level cyclic shift is produced by jointly processing a number of symbols with an extended cyclic shift structure. The SRS may be configured using a symbol group level that indicates the number of symbols associated with a cyclic shift structure, and an outer code that indicates a multiplier applied to the SRS at the symbol level, which increases the multiplexing opportunities. The symbol level code may further indicate an extended cyclic shift indicating a linear increase in phase rotation across tones in symbols associated with the symbol group level.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Seyong Park, Alexandros Manolakos, Weimin Duan, Jay Kumar Sundararajan, Wanshi Chen, Krishna Kiran Mukkavilli, Tingfang Ji, Naga Bhushan
