  • Patent number: 12695587
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. More particularly, various aspects relate generally to power boosting a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) in a CSI-RS resource occasion occurring in a sub-band full duplex (SBFD) set of symbols and/or in a CSI-RS resource occasion that overlaps with an uplink sub-band and/or a guard band of the SBFD set of symbols. In some aspects, a network node may configure a UE with a CSI-RS resource associated with SBFD sets of symbols and non-SBFD sets of symbols. The network node may transmit, and the UE may receive, in an instance of the CSI-RS resource that occurs in an SBFD set of symbols, a CSI-RS. The CSI-RS may be associated with a power-boosted energy per resource element (EPRE) as compared to an EPRE of a CSI-RS transmitted in a CSI-RS occasion occurring in a non-SBFD set of symbols.

  • Patent number: 12677326
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a random access channel (RACH) message to a first distributed unit (DU) via a cell supported by the first DU to support acquisition of timing advance (TA) information prior to switching to the cell. A second DU serving the UE may identify and indicate the TA information to the UE based on the UE transmitting the RACH message indicating a RACH preamble allocated to the second DU by a central unit (CU). The RACH preamble may be included in a set of preambles indicated to the CU by the first DU for TA information acquisition. Alternatively, the UE may be identified by the first DU based on a UE-specific RACH preamble, a RACH preamble, RACH occasion (RO) pair, or a request by the second DU to order the UE to transmit the RACH message.
