  • Patent number: 11963119
    Abstract: A base station in a wireless communication system is disclosed. Each base station in the wireless communication comprises: a communication module; and a processor. When the processor attempts to transmit a synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB) at a SSB transmission candidate position in a discovery reference signal (DRS) transmission window, and fails to transmit an SSB at a first SSB transmission candidate location in a first DRS transmission window, the processor is configured to attempt to transmit the SSB at a second SSB transmission candidate position that is later than the first SSB transmission candidate position in the first DRS transmission window. The DRS transmission window is a time interval in which the base station can transmit the SSB. The SSB transmission candidate position indicates a time point at which the base station can start SSB transmission within the DRS transmission window.

  • Patent number: 11929950
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for calculating and compensating for Doppler shift in a high-speed environment. When in a high-speed environment, Doppler shifts on a transmitted radio frequency signal can become extremely large, which may make it difficult or even impossible for a receiving device to accurately decipher the signal. Therefore, embodiments of the present disclosure describe how tracking reference signals can be transmitted from multiple transmission/reception points, and processed by the UE. For example, the TRS transmitted from the TRP can be enhanced to allow for TRS information from two different TRPs. Additionally, or alternatively, a flag can be set within TRS information that identifies it as having originated from either a first TRP or a second TRP. Additionally, the UE can calculate Doppler shift information and report that information back to the base station in a report message, such as an SRS message. In this manner, the base station can precompensate for the Doppler shift.

  • Patent number: 11910433
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to listen-before-talk (LBT) operations for multiple consecutive physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions scheduled by a single downlink control information (DCI) or multiple DCIs. In a fifth generation (5G)/new radio (NR) system operating in an unlicensed spectrum, when multiple physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions are scheduled (e.g., by one or more DCIs), and if LBT operation has failed before the start of a first PUSCH transmission of the multiple PUSCH transmissions, an LBT type and cyclic prefix (CP) extension for a subsequent PUSCH transmission of the multiple PUSCH transmissions is determined. In some examples, the multiple PUSCH transmissions are consecutive PUSCH transmission. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
