  • Patent number: 11870630
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for transmitting an EHT PPDU to a wireless LAN system are presented. Particularly, a transmission device generates an EHT PPDU, and transmits the EHT PPDU to a reception device through a 320 MHz band of which a partial band is punctured on the basis of an RF. A legacy preamble includes an L-STF and an L-LTF. The legacy preamble is generated by applying a first phase rotation value. The first phase rotation value is determined on the basis of a first method and a second method. The first method is for acquiring an optimum PAPR in the L-LTF. The second method is for acquiring an optimum PAPR on the basis of a maximum transmission bandwidth supported by the RF. The first phase rotation value is acquired on the basis of a second phase rotation value and a third rotation value. The second phase rotation value is a phase rotation value which repeats a phase rotation value that is defined with respect to an 80 MHz band in an 802.11ax system.

  • Patent number: 11864003
    Abstract: A method and a device in a node for wireless communications. A first node monitors or drops monitoring a first signal in a first resource block; and transmits a second signal in a second resource block. The second resource block corresponds to a first index; the first resource block is reserved for a HARQ-ACK for a bit block set transmitted in a third resource block; when a first condition set is fulfilled, a spatial relation of the second signal is unrelated to the first index; when the first condition set is unfulfilled, the first index is used for determining the spatial relation of the second signal; the first condition set relates to whether the first signal is conveyed in the first resource block. The method above provides an easy implementation of beamforming in a V2X system, which optimizes gains of beamforming and also prevents complicated signaling interaction.

  • Patent number: 11844071
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for avoiding hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID) conflicts in scenarios where multiple semi persistently scheduled (SPS) configurations share the same pool of HARQ process IDs are provided. One technique involves receiving an indication of SPS configurations, where each SPS configuration allocates a set of SPS occasions for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions. A conflict is detected between a first HARQ process ID associated with a first SPS occasion of a first SPS configuration and a second HARQ process ID associated with a second SPS occasion of a second SPS configuration, where the first SPS occasion occurs prior to the second SPS occasion. At least one action to resolve the conflict is taken based on predetermined rule(s), in response to detecting the conflict.
