Patent number: 11831374Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for signaling and switching of beam pair links (BPLs) for directional transmission beams between a base station and a user equipment (UE). A threshold value may be determined, which corresponds to an amount of time for a UE to receive and decode control information, and apply a different BPL than a current BPL that that is in use. The UE may maintain a BPL for data, which is used during data transmission time intervals (TTIs) until an indication is received to change the BPL for data. The UE and the base station may determine to change between BPLs based at least in part on the threshold value and a scheduling offset between a control channel transmission that allocates resources for a data TTI and a start of the data TTI.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sundar Subramanian, Xiao Feng Wang, Juergen Cezanne, Bilal Sadiq, Muhammad Nazmul Islam, Junyi Li

Patent number: 11832252Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that help reducing transmission overhead related to sidelink control information (SCI). For example, when a transmitter UE has established a sidelink communication with a receiver UE, the transmitter UE may schedule with at least one semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) process at a first time interval. The transmitter UE may sense whether a resource is available for transmissions to the receiver UE based on decoding an SCI, such as an SCI 0-1 message. The SCI is transmitted at a second time interval that is greater than the first time interval. For example, the second time interval may be a multiple of the first time interval of the at least one SPS process. The second time interval may be flexible and may be increased to reduce the number of SCI messages transmitted in certain time periods in order to reduce communication overhead.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Lik Hang Silas Fong, Jing Sun, Piyush Gupta, Xiaojie Wang
