  • Patent number: 12207261
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and a base station may support communicating uplink control messages over a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) using a time domain waveform. For example, the base station may configure the UE with a first group of PUCCH resource sets associated with a first type of time domain waveform and a second group of PUCCH resource sets associated with a second type of time domain waveform. The base station may transmit downlink control information (DCI) to the UE that indicates a type of time domain waveform and a PUCCH resource of a PUCCH resource set. In response, the UE may select the PUCCH resource set from either the first group or the second group and may transmit an uplink control message using the indicated PUCCH resource and type of time domain waveform.

  • Patent number: 12167259
    Abstract: A master node (MN) (1) controls the MN (1) to enable, for a radio terminal (3), dual connectivity using a Master Cell Group (MCG) provided by the MN (1) and a Secondary Cell Group (SCG) provided by a secondary node (SN) (2). The MN (1) sends an indication regarding an MCG failure to the SN (2). The MN (1) transmits an RRC message related to recovery of the MCG failure to the radio terminal (3), via an SCG part of a split signalling radio bearer between the MN (1) and the radio terminal (3). This, for example, allows the SN to learn of an occurrence of the MCG failure.

  • Patent number: 12160870
    Abstract: Provided are a method for determining an unavailable resource, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes: determining, by a terminal device, a first resource corresponding to a first-type Synchronization Signal Block (SSB); and determining, by the terminal device, an unavailable resource for Remaining System Information (RMSI) based on the first resource and a second resource corresponding to the RMSI. The first-type SSB is an SSB transmitted on a non-Synchronization Signal (SS) raster. Based on the first resource corresponding to the first-type SSB and the second resource corresponding to the RMSI, the unavailable resource for the RMSI can be determined. This not only ensures that the RMSI resource mapping can be performed correctly, but also makes system scheduling more flexible. For example, a network device does not have to intentionally avoid collisions between the SSB and a PDCCH and a PDSCH of the RMSI in limited time-frequency resources.
