  • Patent number: 12764753
    Abstract: Provided are a transmission determination method, a transmission determination apparatus, a base station, a terminal, and a computer-readable storage medium. Whether to receive a first transmission is determined according to first information, and/or whether to send a second transmission is determined according to first information, so that the first transmission is received or the second transmission is sent at one time moment. It is ensured that a terminal and/or a base station transmit at most one transmission at one time moment, thus avoiding a time domain conflict caused by overlapping of time domain resources for a transmission scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) and a transmission configured by higher-layer signaling.

  • Patent number: 12750884
    Abstract: A user device, UE, for a wireless communication system is served by a base station and uses one or more frequency bands for a communication with one or more entities, e.g., other UE(s) or other gNB(s), in the wireless communication system. Some or all of the plurality of frequency bands are unlicensed frequency bands on which a communication is allowed for a certain transmission time (COT) responsive to a successful channel access procedure e.g. Listen-Before-Talk, LBT. The UE is configured, e.g., using an RRC signaling, with one or more configured grant, CG, configurations so as to allow the UE to perform one or more CG transmissions. Responsive to detecting a COT and a potential collision of a CG transmission with the COT, e.g. the COT of another entity, e.g., other UE(s) or other gNB(s), in the wireless communication system, the UE deactivates or backs off the CG transmission.

  • Patent number: 12563533
    Abstract: In a resource allocation method, after determining a BWP allocated to a terminal device, where the BWP includes a first BWP, and determining a first value, a network device sends first indication information to the terminal device, where the first indication information is used to indicate the first value. The terminal device determines the BWP allocated by the network device to the terminal device, where the BWP includes the first BWP, and receives the first indication information from the network device. Then, when the first value is used to indicate a RBG size corresponding to the first BWP, the RBG size corresponding to the first BWP is determined based on the first value. Alternatively, when the first value is used to determine a RIV set corresponding to the first BWP, the RIV set corresponding to the first BWP is determined based on the first value.
