  • Patent number: 12133119
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating improvement in sensing for unicast sidelink communication are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a second UE over a sidelink channel, a first transmission comprising sidelink control information (SCI). In some aspects, the SCI indicates a resource reservation of the second UE. The method includes obtaining measurements of the first transmission and determining whether the measurements exceed a reference threshold. The method includes determining whether the SCI includes an indication that the second UE is following a first resource recommendation of a third UE that is an intended receiver of the second UE when the measurements exceed the reference threshold. The method also includes ignoring the resource reservation of the second UE when the SCI includes the indication that the UE is following the first resource recommendation of the third UE.

  • Patent number: 12132682
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A station (STA) may receive a null data packet (NDP) on a plurality of subcarriers, and the STA may generate a channel state information (CSI) matrix for each subcarrier of the plurality of subcarriers. After generating a CSI matrix for a subcarrier, such as at least one subcarrier, the STA may scale each value in the CSI matrix using a power-of-two value to minimize complexity. Specifically, instead of scaling each value in the CSI matrix to a value between zero and one using divisions (for example, which may be computationally expensive), the STA may use shifting to scale each value in the CSI matrix. The STA may then quantize the scaled values in the CSI matrix for reporting, and the STA may transmit the quantized, scaled values in the CSI matrix in a CSI report.

  • Patent number: 12127246
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless systems, a base station may configure a user equipment (UE) for random access (RACH) message transmission in dedicated RACH resources during, for example, a handover process. The contention-free random access (CFRA) resources may allow the UE to transmit RACH messages at a higher transmission power than contention-based random access (CBRA) resources. The base station may indicate, to the UE, RACH transmission parameters for CFRA that are different than parameters for CBRA. These parameters may include configuration information, frequency division multiplexing information, RACH retransmission parameters, target received power, response window length, etc. The UE may use the indicated RACH transmission parameters to transmit a RACH message to the base station. The base station may respond with a RACH response message, and the base station and UE may synchronize upon completion of the RACH procedure.

  • Patent number: 12126418
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may configure multiple types of resources at a user equipment (UE) for interference management processing at the UE in examples in which the base station employs a non-linear precoding technique. The multiple types of resources configured by the base station may include a first resource type configured for measuring channel gain at the UE, a second resource type configured for measuring non-linear interference at the UE arising from lower-layer data streams, and a third resource type configured for measuring linear interference at the UE arising from higher-layer data streams. The base station may transmit one or more reference signals to the UE over each of the multiple resource types and the UE may determine both a non-linear interference measurement and a linear interference measurement based on receiving the reference signals.

  • Patent number: 12127242
    Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow for multiplexing of higher priority uplink transmissions with lower priority uplink transmissions while maintaining URLLC of the higher priority uplink transmission. A UE receives from a base station information including resources for first and second uplink data, where at least a portion of the resources for the first and second uplink data overlap in time. The first and second uplink data are associated with different priority levels. The UE determines whether to multiplex the uplink data based on a transmission timing difference between a scheduled transmission time and a multiplexed transmission time for the second uplink data on the respective resources. The base station makes a similar determination. If the transmission timing difference fails to meet a delay threshold, multiplexing is performed; otherwise, the lower priority transmission is dropped. Thus, different priority multiplexing may occur in low latency situations, satisfying URLLC.
