  • Patent number: 12369045
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications system may support quasi co-location prioritization techniques. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling to monitor at least one control resource set. The UE may receive a control message to monitor a shared data channel that overlaps in time with the at least one control resource set. For example, the control message may schedule a downlink message via the shared data channel in a time period of the at least one control resource set. The UE may monitor the at least one control resource set, the shared data channel, or both based on one or more priority rules. A priority rule may indicate to monitor a corresponding control resource set, shared data channel, or both based on whether the quasi co-location assumptions of the various control resource sets or shared data channels are the same or different.

  • Patent number: 12366632
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) system may receive configuration information from an assisting node, such as a roadside unit (RSU), for calculating location information for a target UE in the V2X system. The assisting node may reflect one or more radar signals from the UE towards the target, and from the target back towards the UE according to the configuration information. That is, the assisting node may modify one or more waveform parameters of the reflection according to the configuration information. The UE may calculate location information for the target based on the reflection, such as by classifying the target as non-line-of-sight (NLOS) based on modified waveform parameters, location information of the assisting node, or both.

  • Patent number: 12369196
    Abstract: New radio (NR) transmission opportunity (TxOP) structure having flexible starting points are disclosed for wireless communications. When a typical listen before talk (LBT) procedure is performed, the transmitting node will not know ahead of time when the LBT will pass and, thus, when data transmissions can start. NR systems may include a mini-slot design for accommodating transmission units smaller than a slot. Aspects of the present disclosure provide for flexibly increasing the number of potential starting transmission boundaries depending on when the LBT pass is detected. Alternative aspects of the present disclosure determine the potential starting transmission points using a mini-slot based design, a floating slot based design, or a punctured slot based design with a code block group (CBG) level retransmission mechanism.

  • Patent number: 12369189
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device such as a UE or a base station may implement one or more listen before talk (LBT) techniques. The wireless device may determine to transmit a communication during a transmission time interval on multiple subbands of a radio frequency spectrum band. The wireless device may identify whether the transmission time interval is during a channel occupancy time for the base station for a first set of subbands of the multiple subbands. The wireless device may perform one or more LBT procedures based on the identification. For example, the wireless device may perform an LBT procedure that is selected for each subband based on identifying that the transmission time interval is during the channel occupancy time for the first set of the subbands. The wireless device may transmit the communication based on a result of the LBT procedures.

  • Patent number: 12368622
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for wireless communications, and more particularly uplink reference signal repetition for non-terrestrial networks. A user terminal in a non-terrestrial network may identify an uplink reference signal format that includes a comb-based pattern of subcarriers within a first orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol and within a second OFDM symbol for transmission of an uplink reference signal. The user terminal may map the uplink reference signal to a first set of subcarriers within the first OFDM symbol and to a second set of subcarriers within the second OFDM symbol in accordance with the comb-based pattern. Thereby, the user terminal may transmit, to a base station in the non-terrestrial network, the uplink reference signal on the mapped subcarriers of the OFDM symbols, which may be transmitted coherently.
