  • Patent number: 11412534
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may map a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence to a first symbol in a set of resource blocks (RBs) of an uplink long burst, and the first symbol may occur at the beginning of the uplink long burst. The DMRS sequence may be “front-loaded” in the uplink long burst. The DMRS sequence may be dependent upon RB locations. When the DMRS sequence is mapped to the beginning of an uplink long burst, uplink control information (UCI) may be mapped in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). A UE may map UCI in a PUSCH after the DMRS sequence is mapped to the beginning of the uplink long burst. When the base station receives an uplink long burst including the front-loaded DMRS and the UCI mapped in the PUSCH, the base station may identify the DMRS for channel estimation/interference cancelation of the UCI carried on the PUSCH.

    Abstract: Default QCL assumptions for UEs and base stations to apply after identifying a new beam in response to beam failure detection are provided for single-DCI multi-TRP communication. In one aspect, a default QCL assumption for PDSCH after beam failure detection may be applied based on TCI states corresponding to a lowest codepoint among the TCI codepoints containing two different states. In another aspect, a default QCL assumption for PDSCH after beam failure detection may be applied based on at least one of: a lowest CORESET-ID in a latest monitored slot, a selected RS index during beam failure recovery, CORESET-0, or a first TCI state corresponding to the lowest TCI codepoint indicating two TCI states. Additionally, default QCL assumptions for UEs and base stations to apply during beam failure recovery are provided for single-DCI multi-TRP communication when the UE is not configured with a set of beam failure detection resources.

  • Patent number: 11350325
    Abstract: A delta configuration is signaled for handover of a wireless communication device (e.g., a user equipment, UE) from a first form of connectivity to a second form of connectivity. For example, a UE with master cell group (MCG) connectivity may be handed-over to multiple radio access technology-dual connectivity (MR-DC). In some examples, a UE with standalone (SA) connectivity may be handed-over to non-standalone (NSA) connectivity (e.g., dual connectivity). In conjunction with this handover the UE may be signaled as to whether the UE is to reuse a configuration from the first connectivity mode during the second connectivity mode.
