  • Patent number: 11432270
    Abstract: Examples herein describe systems and methods for Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) reallocation. Interference can be detected on a Physical Resource Block (PRB) corresponding to a time-frequency unit of a resource allocated to PUCCH by a base station. The impact the interference has on a subscriber service can be quantified. The quantified services impact can be compared to a threshold. Upon determining that the service impact exceeds the threshold, PRBs of other resources on the base station can be analyzed. The analysis can predict how reallocating the other resources to PUCCH can improve the quality of the subscriber service. One of the other resources can be selected, and instructions can be provided to reallocate the selected resource to PUCCH.

  • Patent number: 11362793
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards using demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-based channel state information (CSI) reporting in a wireless communications network with multiple transmit-receive points (TRPs). A user equipment computes joint CSI based on received DMRS data, e.g., received with downlink data traffic from two TRPs, such as co-located or backhaul connected TRPs. The DMRS-based joint CSI is reported to the multiple TRPs for use in scheduling subsequent data traffic, which can increase data throughput, and can reduce the frequency of CSI-RS reporting, increasing overall efficiency. The network can activate and deactivate DMRS-based CSI reporting.
