  • Patent number: 12074701
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a control channel message encoded according to a first format that is associated with a different set of shared data channel parameters than a second format supported by the UE. The second format is a legacy format relative to the first format. The UE may further determine that the control channel message is encoded according to the first format based at least in part on comparing one or more bit values, of the control channel message, in bit positions corresponding to a set of bits defined by the second format, and one or more expected bit values defined by the first format. The UE may select one or more resources for transmission based at least in part on information included in the control channel message. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Patent number: 12072428
    Abstract: During positioning of a user equipment (UE), downlink (DL) positioning reference signals (PRS) transmitted by one or more transmission reception point (TRP) in a wireless communication system may be preempted or punctured by higher priority transmissions, such as ultra-reliable low-latency traffic (URLLC). A PRS preemption indication (PI) may be provided to a UE by a serving TRP identifying one or more TRPs affected by preemption. The PRS PI may further identify the time domain and frequency domain of the preempted DL PRS transmissions. The PRS PI may identify the time domain, e.g., based on a number of PRS symbols between two monitoring occasions, wherein only PRS symbols that contain downlink positioning reference signals associated with the group of TRPs are counted. The PRS PI may identify the frequency domain by identifying at least one of four or more frequency sub-bands of the preempted DL PRS transmissions.
