  • Patent number: 11985021
    Abstract: A phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) may be transmitted to enable a receiver to correct phase noise in wireless communication. A UE scheduled for one PDSCH with DMRS ports in two or more DMRS CDM groups that are associated with two TCI states may be configured for PT-RS using two PT-RS ports. Therefore, rather than limiting PT-RS to a single port, the PT-RS may be transmitted to the UE using two PT-RS ports. The apparatus transmits a capability indication for more than one PT-RS port for receiving a downlink shared channel based on a first TCI and a second TCI. The apparatus receives a configuration for a maximum number of downlink PT-RS ports from a base station.

  • Patent number: 11985649
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to support transmission of a resource modification information request from a user equipment (UE) to a base station, where the resource modification request may request an increased density of uplink transmission occasions. For example, the resource modification request may request an increase from a first density of uplink transmission occasions configured for the UE. The resource modification request may include a request for a decreased periodicity of uplink transmission occasions, an increased number of groups of repetitions for uplink transmission occasions, an increased number of resource blocks for uplink transmission occasions, or an increased modulation coding scheme for uplink transmission occasions. The base station may receive the resource modification request and may transmit a message to the UE, which may indicate a modified or new uplink grant configuration for uplink transmission occasions having a higher density (e.g.

  • Patent number: 11985691
    Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of wireless communication. A user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink control information (DCI) indicating two or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The UE may differentiate that the two or more TCI states apply to all demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports or all transmission layers across all resource blocks and symbols for the PDSCH from TCI states that apply to different sets of DMRS ports or different sets of resource blocks or symbols. The UE may generate a composite quasi-co-location (QCL) based on the two or more TCI states in response to the differentiating. The UE may receive the PDSCH based on the composite QCL.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A UE may cooperate with a group of one or more other UEs, where the UEs may each operate as a panel in a wireless communications system. To ensure updated information based on the cooperation status of the UE is provided to a network, the UE may receive one or more capability request messages from a base station. The UE may determine a group cooperation capability of the UE, based on a current group cooperation status of the UE. The group cooperation status may be based on the UE operating in cooperation with a group of UEs for communicating with the base station.
