  • Patent number: 11930537
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a random access method, a communications apparatus, a chip, and a storage medium. A network device sends a first synchronization signal/PBCH block SSB on a first candidate SSB occasion, and/or sends a second SSB on a second candidate SSB occasion, where both the first candidate SSB occasion and the second candidate SSB occasion are associated with a first random access channel time-frequency-code resource. The network device receives random access information sent by a terminal device on the first random access channel time-frequency-code resource. According to the embodiments of this application, two candidate SSB occasions are mapped to a same PRACH time-frequency-code resource. In this way, even if an SSB cannot be sent on one of the two candidate SSB occasions due to a channel sensing failure, but another SSB can be sent on the other candidate SSB occasion due to a channel sensing success.

  • Patent number: 11917636
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) is configured such that sounding reference signal (SRS) is switched among a number of antennas on a number of carriers associated with a default data subscription (DDS). The UE is also configured to receive a signal, scheduled using discontinuous reception (DRX), and associated with a non-default data subscription using at least one of the antennas used by the DDS. The UE determines based on carrier characteristics which resource is used to receive the signal during a DRX cycle. In some aspects, the decision is based on avoiding a conflict between the SRS switching and DRX reception. In further aspects, the decision is based on selecting the carrier contributing least to downlink throughput.

  • Patent number: 11916849
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a full-duplexing rule that indicates to refrain from using a transmission dropping rule for transmission direction conflicts that occur between uplink and downlink transmissions in a same symbol. The UE may receive a control message scheduling transmission of a message during a symbol, where a transmission direction conflict arises between a first transmission direction of the message and a second transmission direction of the symbol. For example, the UE may identify a transmission direction conflict between an uplink transmission direction of the message and a downlink transmission direction of the symbol. The UE may communicate the message during the symbol based on the full-duplexing rule. The described techniques may enable the UE to attain reduced latency and higher throughput based on reducing a number of transmissions dropped by the UE.

  • Patent number: 11910381
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information (DCI) scheduling multiple physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources for a set of uplink data messages. In some examples, the scheduled PUSCH resources may overlap with reserved or preconfigured uplink resources. The UE may determine, in accordance with a multiplexing configuration, a multiplexing schedule for multiplexing the scheduled PUSCH resources with the reserved or preconfigured uplink resources. The UE may transmit the set of uplink data messages on one or more of the scheduled PUSCH resources based on the multiplexing schedule. The described techniques may enable the UE to transmit the set of uplink data messages with improved reliability based on reducing a number of collisions between the set of uplink data messages and other uplink signals transmitted on the reserved or preconfigured uplink resources.

  • Patent number: 11902943
    Abstract: A communication method and a communications apparatus are provided. A principle of the method is as follows. Currently, for downlink data transmitted in a semi-persistent scheduling manner, only 1-bit acknowledgment information can be fed back in one time unit. However, as a transmission periodicity P of the downlink data transmitted in the semi-persistent scheduling manner becomes smaller, multi-bit acknowledgment information may need to be fed back in one time unit. In view of this, this application provides a communication method and a communications apparatus to feed back multi-bit acknowledgment information in one time unit. First, multi-bit acknowledgment information to-be-sent in one time unit is determined; then N acknowledgment codebooks are generated, where the N acknowledgment codebooks are used to carry the multi-bit acknowledgment information; and finally, the N acknowledgment codebooks are sent in the time unit.
