  • Patent number: 11963219
    Abstract: A discovery measurement timing configuration (DMTC) window reservation signal is disclosed for new radio (NR) shared spectrum (NR-SS) networks. The DMTC window is defined providing a reserved location for transmission of essential control signaling and potentially high priority traffic that may be transmitted in a prioritized manner. Access within the DMTC window may be provided with a clear channel assessment (CCA) exempt transmission (CET) option or a non-CET option. When the CET option is used, the reservation duration and period may be conveyed through the channel reservation signal. User equipments (UEs) that detect the reservation signal may re-transmit with added offset to inform neighboring base station that may not be within range of the serving base station. Base station that receive either the transmitted or re-transmitted reservation signal will refrain from communications that may interfere with the reception at the UEs.

  • Patent number: 11930396
    Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters of: one or more first cells in a first frequency band; and one or more second cells in a second frequency band. A physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal in the first frequency band is transmitted via the one or more first cells. The wireless device determines, independent of transmissions of the PUSCH signals in the first frequency band, whether to transmit or to drop a configured transmission of at least one sounding reference signal (SRS) via the one or more second cells of the second frequency band. The configured transmission of the at least one SRS overlaps with the PUSCH signal. Based on the determination: the at least one SRS are transmitted via a second cell of the one or more second cells; or the at least one SRS is dropped.
