  • Patent number: 11569963
    Abstract: A method for receiving a signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention can comprise a step for determining REGs, which are to be assumed that the same precoding is used, among REGs comprised in a control resource set on the basis of information relating to precoder granularity, and thus monitoring a control channel candidate. Particularly, if a part of resource blocks overlaps another resource region and particular resource blocks in the resource blocks are no longer contiguous due to the overlapping, the terminal can comprise an assumption that the same precoding is used with respect to the REGs comprised in the particular resource blocks even if the information relating to the precoder granularity corresponds to first configuration.

  • Patent number: 11569894
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured with one or more parameters to support blockage detection for beamformed communication. The UE may receive a set of reference signals via a receive beam of a beam pair. The UE may detect a condition associated with a measured signal quality of a reference signal of the set of reference signals relative to a filtered signal quality of the set of reference signals. The condition may, in some examples, correspond to a drop of the measured signal quality at least a threshold amount below the filtered signal quality for at least a threshold duration of time. The UE may delete one or more signal quality values from a measurement database of the UE based on detecting the condition. The one or more signal quality values may be associated with the beam pair.

  • Patent number: 11496350
    Abstract: Conventional filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) wireless communication systems offer superior spectral properties compared to the cyclic-prefix orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) approach, at the cost of an inherent shortcoming in dispersive channels called intrinsic imaginary interference. In this disclosure the DP-FBMC system was disclosed. A DP-FBMC based communication system uses two orthogonal polarizations for wireless communication systems: dual-polarization FBMC (DP-FBMC). The system significantly suppresses FBMC intrinsic interference. For the disclosed DP-FBMC all the multicarrier techniques used in CP-OFDM systems for channel equalization etc., are applicable without using complex processing methods that are required for conventional FBMC. Disclosed DP-FBMC also is more robust in multipath fading channels, and also to receiver carrier frequency offset (CFO) and Timing offset (TO).
