  • Patent number: 11895678
    Abstract: The random access (RA) procedure in NR-U can be improved by enable the NR-U capable UE to choose a suitable BWP and uses this chosen BWP to perform the RA procedure. A suitable BWP is a BWP with a low probability for LBT failure, such as a BWP having a load that is less than a threshold load. For example, whenever the UE has a RA procedure triggered, the UE selects the most suitable BWP based on load information, such as load measurements made by the UE for one or more available BWPs or load information communicated to the UE. The selected BWP for the RA procedure may be different from the UE's currently active BWP, and, in this case, the UE may do a BWP switch before the RA procedure.

  • Patent number: 11895593
    Abstract: To reduce power consumption, a user equipment (UE) may trigger a microsleep in a subframe when a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) does not include a downlink grant. However, because the microsleep depends on the PDCCH not including a downlink grant, the UE cannot trigger the microsleep until after the PDCCH is decoded. Accordingly, in some aspects, a UE may enable an aggressive extra microsleep in which a microsleep duration may be increased by reducing a PDCCH decode time. For example, a UE may use a stale channel estimate and noise estimate from a previous subframe to perform PDCCH demapping when conditions related to a PDCCH block error rate are satisfied. In this way, removing channel estimation and noise estimation from a PDCCH demapping path may reduce the PDCCH decode time, whereby the UE may trigger a microsleep sooner to increase a sleep ratio and thereby increase power savings.

  • Patent number: 11882462
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for joint communications among a UE and multiple transmission-reception points (TRPs) in which a subset of the multiple TRPs transmit periodic tracking reference signals (TRSs) for use in measurement and beam management at the UE and the multiple TRPs. The subset of TRPs may include TRPs having a relatively large contribution to signals received at the UE, and may transmit periodic (or semi-persistent) TRSs to be measured at the UE. One of the TRPs may provide configuration information to the UE of which TRPs are included in the subset of TRPs, or the UE may determine which TRPs are included in the subset of TRPs based on a signal quality of transmissions associated with each TRP.
