  • Patent number: 12200748
    Abstract: When a secondary cell of carrier aggregation has been activated, a radio terminal (2) communicates with a radio access network (RAN) node (1) in an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) selected from among a plurality of DL BWPs for the secondary cell. In addition, when the secondary cell is in a dormant state, the radio terminal (2) transmits to the RAN node (1), via a primary cell or another activated serving cell of the carrier aggregation, a channel state information report for a target DL BWP selected from among the plurality of DL BWPs. It is thus, for example, possible to allow the radio terminal to perform channel a state information measurement on a dormant SCell that has been configured with a plurality of BWPs.

  • 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.
