  • Patent number: 12119973
    Abstract: Sounding reference signals (SRS) transmitted by a UE, e.g., for positioning or channel estimation, may be configured for one or both of frequency tone level cyclic shift and symbol level code, which, for example, enables multiplexing a greater number of UEs. The frequency tone level cyclic shift is produced by jointly processing a number of symbols with an extended cyclic shift structure. The SRS may be configured using a symbol group level that indicates the number of symbols associated with a cyclic shift structure, and an outer code that indicates a multiplier applied to the SRS at the symbol level, which increases the multiplexing opportunities. The symbol level code may further indicate an extended cyclic shift indicating a linear increase in phase rotation across tones in symbols associated with the symbol group level.

  • Patent number: 12120647
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station and user equipment (UE) may implement techniques to integrate remaining minimum system information (RMSI) and synchronization signal block (SSB) delivery in a shared radio frequency spectrum band. For example, the base station may transmit SSBs and corresponding RMSI transmissions in a same transmission opportunity (TxOP) and configure resource allocations to reduce or eliminate transmission gaps. For example, the SSBs and the corresponding RMSI transmissions may be transmitted after a single, successful listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure. For each SSB, the associated RMSI control resources and RMSI shared channel resources may be nearby or continuous in time such that the SSB, control resource set, and the RMSI downlink shared channel signal are transmitted as a package.

  • Patent number: 12119544
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may use transmissions causing power density exposure (PDE) to nearby users. To reduce the PDE of an antenna module (e.g., below a maximum PDE threshold), the UE may implement a shielding strip around the antenna module. For example, the antenna module may include a substrate having a first surface and a set of antenna elements on the first surface. The shielding strip may enclose the set of antenna elements of the antenna module and extend away from the first surface above the antenna elements. The shielding strip may reduce PDE outside a field of view of the antenna module. Additionally, in some cases, the placement of the antenna module in the UE and the materials used for constructing the UE may further reduce PDE.

  • Patent number: 12120049
    Abstract: Aspects relate to sounding reference signal (SRS) time-domain bundling. Phase continuity may be maintained across SRS transmissions over multiple SRS occasions to enable a receiver to jointly process these SRS transmissions. In some examples, a user equipment may expect to be configured with SRS transmissions over multiple SRS occasions where SRS configurations for different SRS transmissions over different SRS occasions specify the same parameters. For example, a first SRS configuration for a first SRS transmission over a first SRS occasion may specify a first set of spatial relation information. In addition, a second SRS configuration for a second SRS transmission over a second SRS occasion may specify that same first set of spatial relation information. In this way, phase continuity may be maintained between the first SRS transmission over the first SRS occasion and the second SRS transmission over the second SRS occasion.

  • Patent number: 12117537
    Abstract: Satellites in a non-terrestrial network may provide positioning reference signals (PRS) to user equipment (UE), with which the UE may determine its position using propagation delay difference measurements, such as Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) measurement. Due to the large distances between satellites and the UE, the propagation delay differences in the PRS received from satellites may exceed half a radio frame, resulting in a frame level timing ambiguity in the differential measurements. The satellites transmit secondary PRS, along with primary PRS, that include timing information to resolve frame level timing ambiguity of the primary PRS. The positioning occasions in the secondary PRS, for example, may be aligned with corresponding positioning occasions primary PRS within each radio frame, and are transmitted with a periodicity that is an integer multiple (greater than 1) of that of the primary PRS to resolve the frame level timing ambiguity of the primary PRS.

  • Patent number: 12119863
    Abstract: Wireless communication devices, systems, and methods related to mechanisms for transmitting and receiving reference signals in a high-speed train (HST) single frequency network (SFN). A base station (BS) determines a first frequency pre-compensation value for a reference signal transmitted via a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and a second frequency pre-compensation value for a reference signal via a second TRP. The BS notifies a user equipment (UE) of the first and second pre-compensation values through at least one of the TRPs. The BS applies the first pre-compensation value to the reference signal via the first TRP and the second pre-compensation value to the reference signal via the second TRP. The UE adjusts its tracking loop for the reference signal based on the pre-compensation values, reducing estimation and/or search overhead at the UE.
