  • Patent number: 11856570
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device may indicate a dynamic beam correspondence operation for communications with a second device. For example, the dynamic beam correspondence operation may be declared in a time-dependent manner, for certain transmission configuration indication (TCI) states or time-dependent TCI states. Further, the first device may declare no beam correspondence and associated power savings and thermal reductions that result from the lack of beam correspondence. Subsequently, based on the dynamic beam correspondence operation, the second device may identify parameters (e.g., which TCI states, subarrays) for the first device to use for different modes or procedures (e.g., at a corresponding time) based on parameters that correspond to a full beam correspondence or no beam correspondence. For example, the parameters may be used for initial access, beam failure recovery, low power modes, or high temperature modes.

  • Patent number: 11831426
    Abstract: Provided is a terminal which can suitably apply precoding to a PDCCH. In the terminal (100), when a first CC is notified of scheduling information for each of a first component carrier (CC) and a second CC, a restriction determination unit (105) determines, on the basis of a subcarrier interval of the CC to be scheduled by means of the scheduling information among the first CC and the second CC, the maximum number of blind decodings when the scheduling information is blind-decoded. An extraction unit (102) performs the blind decoding on the basis of the maximum number of blind decodings and extracts the scheduling information.

  • Patent number: 11800524
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for reliable control signaling, for example, in New Radio (NR). A receiver in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive one or more physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmissions comprising downlink control information (DCI). The WTRU may determine a transmission profile associated with an uplink control information (UCI). Based on the transmission profile, the WTRU may determine one or more transmission characteristics associated with the transmission of the UCI. The WTRU may transmit the UCI over a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The UCI may be transmitted using transmission characteristics determined by the WTRU. The WTRU may transmit the UCI based on at least one of a control resource set (CORESET), a search space, or a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). The WTRU may determine a transmission profile differently based on what the UCI may comprise.
