  • Patent number: 11558891
    Abstract: A wireless device transmits a first message comprising a preamble and a transport block. The wireless device receives, during a time window, a first downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a response to the first message. The first DCI indicates a first transmit power control (TPC) command value. A decoding failure of the response and an expiry of a timing alignment timer is determined. The wireless device receives, based on the determining and during the time window, a second DCI rescheduling the response. The second DCI indicates a second TPC command value. The wireless device selects, based on a decoding success of the response rescheduled by the second DCI, the second TPC command value as a transmit power adjustment value among the first TPC command value and the second TPC command value. The wireless device transmits a feedback using a transmit power determined based on the transmit power adjustment value.

  • Patent number: 11456839
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is disclosed including a receiver that receives, from a base station (BS), Zero Power (ZP) Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration information and a ZP CSI-RS. The ZP CSI-RS is transmitted as a periodic ZP CSI-RS, a semi-persistent ZP CSI-RS, or an aperiodic ZP CSI-RS. When the ZP-CSI-RS is transmitted as the periodic ZP CSI-RS or the semi-persistent ZP CSI-RS, the ZP CSI-RS resource configuration information designates periodicity and a timing offset for the periodic ZP CSI RS or the semi-persistent ZP-CSI-RS. The receiver receives the ZP CSI-RS based on a ZP CSI RS resource specified using the periodicity and the timing offset. When the ZP CSI-RS is transmitted as the aperiodic ZP CSI-RS, the receiver receives DCI that triggers the aperiodic ZP CSI-RS. The receiver receives the ZP CSI-RS based on a ZP CSI-RS resource specified using the DCI.
