Publication number: 20240178889Abstract: Techniques, described herein, include solutions for managing uplink control information (UCI) transmission for a channel state information (CSI) report resulting from measurements of CSI measurement resources. In response to the CSI report exceeding allocated uplink resources of a UCI transmission, a compressed CSI report can be generated by performing an uplink control information (UCI) omission to omit parameters of the CSI report based on components comprising frequency domain (FD) components and time domain (TD) components of the MIMO codebook configuration. The UCI transmission can be generated with the compressed CSI report.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Weidong Yang, Chunhai Yao, Chunxuan Ye, Dawei Zhang, Haitong Sun, Hong He, Huaning Niu, Oghenekome Oteri, Seyed Ali Akbar Fakoorian, Wei Zeng, Yushu Zhang

Patent number: 11991716Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. To monitor a PDCCH for CA, a UE may receive PDCCH candidates in a plurality of configured component carriers (CCs). In response to a determination that a maximum number of virtual CCs that the UE is capable of monitoring for PDCCH is smaller than a number of the plurality of configured CCs, the UE groups the plurality of configured CCs into CC groups based at least in part on SCS numerologies and PDCCH monitoring configurations corresponding to span patterns within a slot of a DL subframe.

Patent number: 11979760Abstract: A user equipment (UE) monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in multiple component carriers (CC). The UE determines if the UE is operating in carrier aggregation (CA) mode having a first CC in a first frequency band and a second CC in a second frequency band. When the UE is operating in CA with a first CC in the first frequency band and the second CC in the second frequency band, the UE determines a span pattern for PDCCH symbols being received on the first and second CC and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the span pattern. A UE also determines if a first CC and a second CC of a CA combination are collocated and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the determination of whether the first and second CC are collocated.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2020Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Weidong Yang, Amir Farajidana, Chunhai Yao, Chunxuan Ye, Dawei Zhang, Haitong Sun, Hong He, Jie Cui, Keith W.

Patent number: 11979911Abstract: Current 5G provisions for wireless communications do not allow for the differentiation of channel access by User Equipments (UEs) with different priorities. Approaches are described by which priority access for UEs in a controlled environment using frame based equipment (FBE), and in particular for different UEs or the same UE that has different configured grants. The approaches are particularly helpful for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) UEs. In one approach, the UE performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) in an idle period before the fixed frame period (FFP), followed by a channel access priority test. In an alternative approach, the UE performs a channel access priority test before the UE performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) in an idle period before the fixed frame period (FFP).Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Oghenekome Oteri, Huaning Niu, Weidong Yang, Sigen Ye, Haitong Sun, Chunxuan Ye, Chunhai Yao, Hong He, Wei Zeng, Dawei Zhang

Publication number: 20240147423Abstract: This disclosure provides details of sequence-based WUS design and signaling, also DCI-based WUS design which also serves as scheduling DCI. For sequence-based WUS there are two variants. A first is based on CSI-RS, that is relatively wide band so the sequence occupies wider band compared to SSB transmission. The second is more akin to the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) type of sequence in that it occupies a narrower band over the entire bandwidth.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Huaning NIU, Chunhai YAO, Chunxuan YE, Dawei ZHANG, Haitong SUN, Hong HE, Jie CUI, Manasa RAGHAVAN, Oghenekome OTERI, Seyed Ali Akbar FAKOORIAN, Sigen YE, Wei ZENG, Weidong YANG, Yang TANG, Yushu ZHANG
