  • Patent number: 11601244
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A control resource set (CORESET) may be configured to support multiple transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state control channels. Space division multiplexing (SDM) may be implemented to enable multi-TCI states by using multiple ports and layers. A certain layer and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port may be associated with a certain TCI state. For orthogonal ports, resources elements (REs) may be assigned such that a first set of REs are assigned to the first DMRS port and a second set of REs are assigned to the second port. The multiple DMRS ports may be code division multiplexed (CDM'd) within an RE such that multiple DMRS ports may be associated with the same RE. For non-orthogonal ports, the same RE may be used for multiple TCI states, where scrambling sequences may be applied to DMRSs associated with the TCI states.

  • Patent number: 11564224
    Abstract: In an example, a User Equipment (UE) is configured with one or more first Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources on a primary cell (PCell) and configured with one or more second PUCCH resources on a secondary cell (SCell). The PCell and the SCell are associated with a PUCCH group. Before a first slot, the UE changes an active uplink (UL) bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell. The cell associated with the changing the active UL BWP is the PCell or the SCell. A first occasion of the PCell is before the changing the active UL BWP. A second occasion of the SCell is before the changing the active UL BWP. The first occasion and the second occasion are associated with the first slot. The UE determines whether or not to include Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) information, associated with the second occasion, in a HARQ codebook based on whether or not the SCell, associated with transmitting the HARQ codebook, is the same as the cell associated with the changing the active UL BWP.
