  • Patent number: 12634956
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein support transmission of a transport block over multiple slots (TBoMS) with subband full duplex (SBFD) operation. For example, if a time domain resource allocation for a TBoMS includes both uplink slots and downlink slots configured with an uplink subband, a user equipment (UE) may determine which slots to use in accordance with a scheme for selecting available slots for the TBoMS from indicated candidate slots, and the UE may determine the transport block size based on the selected slots. In some examples, the UE may first determine the quantity of resource elements available in each of the different slot types, and then may determine the transport block size based on the quantity of resource elements available in each of the different slot types and the quantity of each of the different slot types.

  • Patent number: 12604323
    Abstract: A wireless device receives a first PDCCH from a base station. The first PDCCH indicates a resource allocation of a first PDSCH transmitted on a first time-frequency resource. The wireless device decodes data carried in the first PDSCH according to the first PDCCH. The wireless device obtains a resource allocation of a second PDSCH based on a mapping rule. The mapping rule maps resources of the first PDSCH to resources of the second PDSCH. The wireless device generates encoded bits for the second PDSCH. The encoded bits are based on the decoded data carried in the first PDSCH and the resource allocation of the second PDSCH. The wireless device generates reference signals associated with the second PDSCH. The wireless device transmits the encoded bits to a user equipment (UE). The encoded bits are transmitted on the resources of the second PDSCH on the second time-frequency resource.
